Travel cliche contest winner
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sometimes the contests are a big hit, sometimes not so much. I thought the Travel Cliche Writing Contest sounded like fun, but we got four entries, so maybe not so much.
Our winner was Sheila Hudson, who explained that:
“Rustic, romantic, and roomy” means barren, without electricity, and a bath down the hall.
I haven’t stayed at that inn, Sheila — yet — but I know that you need to be careful when something is described as “rustic.”
Well done. Please email me at pkloer@ajc.com so I can send you my copy of the book that started it all, “Travel Speak” by N.W. “Red” Pope.
