Opinions

I achieved a minor milestone of sorts this week.

I reached the rank of Top Contributor on tripadvisor.com, a site that invites customer reviews of hotels, motels, restaurants, tourist attractions, etc.

You have to write 50+ reviews to reach the exalted level of Top Contributor – the highest level of travel commentary on the site. Until this week, I was merely a Senior Contributor.

It wasn’t hard. All you have to do is have opinions.
