The links provided were very informational and made me aware of some things I would have never thought of when creating a travel page. I have a very "fluff" way of writing you could say. I love descriptive words and connecting (or at least feeling like im connecting) with the reader. All the articles were pretty clear in that to create a good wikitravel page things need to be right to the point, concise, well written, and unbiased. I also liked the page on all of the wiki markups that can be used…very resourceful.
Top 10 things wikitravel writers should be aware of:
1. Don't be opinionated and biased
2. Have personality
3. Be fair, but that doesn't mean be nice if a place is not up to pare
4. Don't insert own personal agenda
5. Don't be boring
6. Don't write with all caps
7. Don't be obvious or act like the reader is stupid
8. Some words to avoid: affordable, best, ideal, perfect, tourist, our/we/us, luxurious..etc.
9. Don't list the same place many times
10. Use wiki markups from the manual when you can…makes a good wikitravel page
Three itinerary potential paths:

3. Harwichport get-away with the adults
