Instructions for Voting...

Hi friends!

So voting is now open! Unfortunately, it is a silly system for voting, so it is a little bit complicated. Here are my instructions which will hopefully make it easier for you:

1). Click on this link: http://www.nothinglikeaustralia.com/us/flash.htm#/finalists

2). Find Tasmania on the map.

3). Look for my jumping photo and then click "VOTE" on the corner of my photo. It may take a little bit of time for you to find the photo, but please don't give up! In my photo on the map, my head is not displayed...you will only see from my chest up. Also, my photo is one of the 3 Tasmania photos at the bottom. You just kinda have to hover over the pictures until mine pops up.
Or you can try this...it might be a bit easier:

1). Click on this link instead. http://www.nothinglikeaustralia.com/us/index.htm

2).  Scroll down to where you see a box that says "Experience Number." Then enter in my experience number which is 4986.

3). It will take you directly to my photo but it will still not allow you to vote.

4). Click "Favorite this Person" at the bottom. Then click the "Back" button above my photo.

5). Then click on the "Favorites" tab and my photo should be the only one that pops up, which then makes it easy for you to vote. This also makes it easy for you to vote each day. All you have to do then is click on your favorites and mine pops up!

Like I said, it's a dumb voting system. It does let you vote a couple of times a day and from different computers/email addresses as well. I'm happy with one vote, but if you have the time and patience to do more, I'll take it!

I wish it were an easier process. As my Scottish friend Lauren said, they are not parting easily with their $10,000 trip!

Thank you SOOO much for taking the time to vote!! It is much appreciated!

Please vote for me!!!!

G'Day friends!

So... I could be a big WINNER! I recently entered a contest hosted by Qantas for Tourism Australia and I entered a few photos that I have taken on my travels here. Well, one of my photos was selected for the competition....I'm in the top 20! Now all I have to do is get the most votes by November 8 and I win $10, 000 to anywhere in Australia!!

Yes, I know I am already here, but a $10, 000 trip would be AMAZING! And although I have traveled most of the country already, I haven't finished the east coast AND there are so many amazing places I'd like to go back to! So please help me win! I will be forever grateful!

Voting starts October 25 at 9pm PST time (11pm central time) and ends on November 8 at 9pm PST. You can vote as many times as you want during that period. Please please please vote!! :)

Here is the photo that has made it into the competition:


And here is the link to get to my photo and VOTE: http://www.nothinglikeaustralia.com/us/flash.htm#/entries/4986/title

Thank you for the support!! You'll be hearing from me soon!
