One week until the Virtual Vacation Contest!

Water, waves, tanning lotion and a towel? Skis, lodges, boots and fireplaces? Ships, shuttleboard, lounges and ballrooms.

A vacation doesn't always equate to a trip to an exotic or far off location. It could be that long drive out to the mountains, or that fishing trip you took with dad when you were 10; that camping with your Girl Scout Troop or those few days spent lounging in your PJs at home.

Maybe you've dreamed of something, maybe you've actually done it, maybe you're going to do it, or maybe, you're even AFRAID of doing it.

Whatever it is, we want to hear from you. Submit those vacation memories, along with a recipe to celebrate it to virtualvacation@maona@net by February 10th. Time is running out.
