Description:

Decorate one airmail envie using a travel theme (interpret that any way you like, creativity is welcome) and include a letter to your partner about someplace you have traveled, someplace you love, or someplace you hope to travel. A nice long chatty letter, at least one full page, but as long as you like.

Create an itinerary for your partner's (imagined) visit to this place, and include a few creative elements: you choose how creative to be, some ideas might include a (pretend) airline ticket on your (pretend) airline, a pretend (not forged!!) passport if needed (using their swap-bot name), a (pretend) train or subway ticket, (pretend) tickets to get into some fun events while there, or even real ephemera from your visit.

Include a list of a day full of possible events (example: 9 AM breakfast at Tiffany's, 10 AM climb the empire state building, 11am save Fay Wray from king kong atop the Empire State Building since you are there anyway, noon picnic in central park...) These events you plan might be things you did and enjoyed, things you missed out on, things you plan to do next time, or completely imagined things.

So. Rate your partner a five (or five heart!) if you receive: an airmail envie, decorated in any interpretation of the theme "travel", with a letter about a place theyve visited, a place they love, or a place they hope to visit, and an itinerary for your visit including some creative elements and s schedule for one of your days while there.

Any questions?

Please let me know if/when you might be doing this sort of swap again! :D

I apologize ladies for not assigning yet... A very confused schedule! All is right with the world now however! I've pushed the sign up day back to let squirrel jump in if she'd like, and added the same number of days to the swap time.
