How honest are
people when using
social networking?
According to an
ongoing survey being
taken by USA today,
( as of 6/13/11 )
only 31% said they
are totally honest,
26% fib a little,
21% authored total
fabrication and 22%
flat-out just lie.
So our advice: Take
everything you read
with a grain of salt
and never, ever,
rely on a single
source for
travel-related
information.
Research, research,
then research again
all the travel
possibilities then
decide what travel
plans are right for
you. Remember your
real friends,
neighbors,
co-workers and
colleagues are the
best resource.
Strangers on the
internet are not.
