    Oh.... how upsetting :cry: I got this e-mail too and thought it would be too good to be true as I never win anything that amazing! I thought I'd wait to hear from them before getting excited but just had a look and found this thread. Pretty bug mess up for 2 such big companies... think they should send us all on the trip anyway!! :j
