    Hi there,

    First off, just wanted to say thanks for creating your Information Sources & Inspiration page (http://traveltedds.gingerninja.info/about/references/). I found some great resources on there that I hadn’t seen elsewhere.

    Also, you might want to also consider adding TripBuzz (http://www.tripbuzz.com), a site that recommends things to do in thousands of cities (with a focus on specific themes like kid-friendly, free/cheap, date ideas, etc.)

    I thought your visitors might find this helpful. Let me know what you think – have a great day!

    Best wishes,
    Julianna
