.......Y'all ever been on a multi-country vacation before? It's not a race. GM is probably savoring and appreciating each location as they travel through, spending more than a few measly hours to tour. I spent an entire week in Vegas, one town, and still didn't have time to experience it all.
That being said, it was kind of a d*** move to post an int. check knowing full well one is going on an extended vacation without warning anyone on here (meaning not thru Discord). But maybe GM was just super excited about his RP idea.
Edit: wait, did GM specifically say he was on vacation? Maybe GM is moving or visiting a sick/deceased loved one
