Thanks for the support everyone. I have not put much energy into this contest because I've been pouring it all into @firepower's contest. I really do hope I win a ticket one way or another. I'm getting funds together for the trip, slow but sure. In part, these posts have added quite a bit to my bank, and hopefully have also increased my chances for a win!
