I'm unclear on how the lottery works? I sent in my application on the first day and requested any weekday in July or the first part of August. I didn't think I would have a problem until I started reading blogs and message boards. At first I though all applications were looked over as they were received and reservations made if there was availability. Now I'm wondering if it's more a raffle style, with all the submitted applications in a big basket and they pull a certain number of applications out each day (half of them never even getting looked at because they weren't pulled)? I'm not sure I want to admit this.... but on Feb. 16, I actually had my visa set to send me my cell a text message everyday so I can monitor my account and see if I get a hit from Whitney. I actually feel sad each day when there is nothing. Maybe tomorrow!??!?!!
