We asked you for your "first time" stories and you delivered. The only requirement was that your first time story involve travel, in one way or another. Even Scarlett Johansson told us about her first time, but we didn't let her enter the competition.
Please welcome to the stage, Liz, who is our second of our two winners.
Yeah, mentioning nudity gets us every time as well. So apparently, we like nudity and priests. Oh my.

Without further adieu, we turn the mic over to Lisa, who is our first of two winners.
Congrats to Lisa, who wins her choice of three RoughGuides FirstTime books. A hint to the rest of you: Asking priests for stuff always gets our attention.

http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/9/22/125420/655
Hi first timers! As you may remember, the deadline for our Rough Guides first time contest is fast approaching. Because we are kind, considerate and caring, we're going to extend that deadline for a whole `nother week--just for you. Really, you can shower us with love and affection for this largesse at another date.
In any case, that means that there is still plenty of time to submit entries about your first time doing something while you traveled. As we've said before, there's tons of first time events to choose from, including a first time dealing with "debris" on the streets of Paris to the first time you pass out on the night tram in Prague. It doesn't matter, just cough it up and you'll have a chance to win one of these three Rough Guides from the First Time series (Asia, Latin America, and Around the World).
Entries are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 25th.

http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/9/19/91332/8909
Hey first timers! Here's another reminder about Jaunted's giveaway that's running right now. If you submit an entry--something to do with a first time experience while traveling--you can win one of these three Rough Guides First Time series (Asia, Latin America, and Around the World). We only ask 250 words of you, not a lot when you're bored at work on a Tuesday, we can say that much. You probably cover that many words in an hour of instant messaging.
For example, we'll never forget our first time in Paris. The smell of freshly baking bread was in the air, the days were long, the light was that perfect color, and we stepped in dog shit more times than we care to count. But we learned a valuable lesson about walking in Paris and what shoes to bring for the next time. First times are like that--memorable and slightly squishy. So send your entries our way, to tipsATjauntedDOTcom or in the comments section of any Rough Guides posts on Jaunted.
Entries are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 25th.

Hey there, all you world travelers! It's another reminder from your faithful editor to send in all your first-time travel tales to us at Jaunted to enter in the Rough Guides (Winner will get one of these Rough Guides First Time guides: Asia, Latin America, and Around the World) giveaway. We're asking a pittance, really, 250 words on something your experienced for the first time while you were traveling.
We're not picky--it can be a tale about the first time it took you two hours to eat breakfast in Amsterdam because you were so focused on each and every ingredient, for example. Or it could be about the time the first time you fell asleep on the night tram in Prague, only to find yourself awoken by a drunken Czech caressing your thigh (those last two are totally hypothetical, by the way). Whatever it is, send it our way, to tipsATjauntedDOTcom or as a comment in any of the previous Rough Guides posts. Happy writing!
