Thanks to everyone who participated in last Friday’s photo caption contest. We received some great submissions, but our favorite was from Nancy James, who wrote, “*Mumble Grumble* The sign on the restaurant DID say ‘Fresh Sushi’…” Nancy has won an IndependentTraveler.com travel mug!

There were so many good runners-up that we thought we’d share a few:

“When I asked the best place to fish around here, the guy at the bait shop said, ‘Suit yourself.’ I hope this works!” — Gregory Ellis

“I knew it was a bad idea to tie her engagement ring to a fishing pole! If I don’t find this before she arrives…” — Ginny

“Harold was a workaholic who had never had a real vacation. His boss & co-workers finally bought him a trip to a beach resort and pushed him out the door. Harold is really enjoying himself. Here he is trying his hand at fishing, which he was told is a good way to relax. So this is what a vacation is like, he thinks. And tomorrow he just might go para-sailing.” — Anne
