I check the boards frequently (once or twice a day during the planning stages of a trip. Have to know when rates come out, where to eat, where not to eat, what to see & do, etc. After our trip is over, I wean myself off gradually and only check the boards once or twice a week just to keep current with the changes. Lately, it seems we're always in the planning stages, even if the trip is 100-200 days off. It's the bright spot of my day!!
