For those of you lucky enough to live in warmer climates with access to great beaches, I'm jealous! Coming from Michigan, especially in the winter, I'm just glad for the opportunity every couple of years to get to put my feet in the warm sands, toss back a few Red Stripes, and lay my head on a pillow at night wherever in Negril that may be.

I think I am misunderstanding you, Bren. If one stays at an AI and posts a trip report, are they opening themselves up to being judged as having less of an experience?
