| We are all excited
to set sail on our adventurous Romance Slam Jam Crystal
Anniversary Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman,
Cayman Islands in April 2010. But why wait until then for
the fun to start? Let’s get in the traveling mood with a
Travel Writing Contest relating to the theme: “Always On My
Mind: My Most Memorable Trip.” Win a Travelers Survival
Basket filled with books, movies, music, travel journal and
other fun essentials! |

Share your treasured stories with your
fellow “Slam Jammers.” We want to hear about your best and
worst journeys, your falling in love, your near-death
experiences, when you were robbed, lost your luggage, family
reunion gone wild, even when you got arrested. We want all
the juice. If you have electronic photos or scanned copies
of your airline tickets, postcards, stamps, admission
tickets, travel journal, foreign money, bail money receipt
to illustrate your escapades, well that’s even better!
