You deserve the trip @ericvancewalton - you made much hay early days with your great writings skills on here that sadly treaded water for many years - nothing in the world is worse than wasted talent.

This platform is like a fresh breath of life for you. Don't cry for my Argentina. I was already pre-booked for a vacation to Spain on the Amsterdam dates, so sadly I wouldn't have made it anyways. I know you'll love Amsterdam. Such a relaxing place to get the creative juices flowing. I look forward to read a non-fiction article from you on it (hint hint!) - Safe travels across the pond. @mindhunter
