Oh my. *Rolleyes* I declare, submissions have been lighter than expected. And these brochures don't write themselves. What to do? What to do?

Well, after spending a long sleepless night, tossing and turning pages of dusty old review books, I realized that I've been demanding too much from my valued travelers! This is supposed to be a week of fun and relaxation and we all know how it gets. It's sheer torture to leave any party, and pick out a quiet, sober, lonely spot to scribble out a few rambling thoughts.

So I've talked to my backers and got their approval and blessing to change course *Bigsmile*.


Effective immediately:

We're extending the deadline for travel itineraries. We've extended the soft deadline from 48 hours to 11 days or 264 hours!


Effective retroactively:

This means that every travel itinerary is open for submissions!
