I didn't see this posted anywhere, but came across the winners-released April 1, I think. Here's the link. https://www.ricksteves.com/tours/scrapbooks/contest-winners

It's anyone else having trouble opening the winner's scrapbook or is it just me? Of the three I could view I liked the 3rd place entry best. One thing I really like when people do a scrapbook is a photo of themselves early on so I can put a face with a name.

I could open all of them. It's fun to see the creative way people put their memories together. Wish I could figure out how to do it!!

I just looked at the first one, which I really liked, but will check out the rest. Those are really fun! I didn't have any trouble opening them.
I did especially enjoy the first scrapbook's comment about how her wife had been "stubbornly holding on to her iPhone 8." And of course it broke as soon as they landed. Cautionary tale here!
ETA: okay, I've looked through them all, and I still like the first one the best, although they're all VERY close and I enjoyed them all a lot. I'm glad I didn't have to decide. The first place one was a lot of fun, though, and I enjoyed all the photos with the couple and their moms—I could really sense their excitement at being there. That said, it is much easier to get photos of yourself in there when you are not traveling solo. In that respect, I think solo travelers have a disadvantage, and I include myself in there.

Figured out why I couldn't open the first one. If you're on a phone or tablet you need to flip it to landscape mode, it won't work in the portrait setting.
I can understand why the 1st place where won, their personalities were on full display in the entry. Well done. What I learned from all for entries is that I could never win the contest, I'm not creative or patient enough to do something like that.
