With January weather depressing everyone (although it has been warm the last few days, that is a pretty relative term in January), I thought it would be nice to show you the places you could be. If you were rich. Since you probably aren't, the next best thing is to win a trip somewhere absolutely astonishing, so today is all about Vacations! If you missed yesterdays post, there are a couple more vacations there as well, so go check it out!
#1 Hawaii! Not to put to fine a point on it, but we're starting off the with big guns. A free trip to Hawaii sounds amazing, doesn't it? Sun, sand, swimming, relaxation, and just enjoying the fact that all your friends are still back in the cold harsh grip of winter. Budget Travel is giving away a free Hawaii trip, including airfare and six nights at a fabulous beachfront hotel. This is a single entry sweep, which is fantastic. Go take a look at it!
#2 Bermuda. Finding an international giveaway that includes full airfare seems pretty difficult, but if I see one I'll definitely post it. In the mean time, here's a great way to enter a contest and stay entered. The Reefs and Nisbet Plantation give away a free stay every month. All you have to do to enter (permanently) is subscribe to their newsletter. Best yet, the stay is a full week long and includes more than just a continental breakfast. With afternoon tea and a dinner included, this is a great way to enjoy the Island experience in full. Sign up here.
#3 Puerto Rico (or Hawaii). This one also draws for laptops and other fantastic prizes.
#4 Colorado. Not really a great destination for a winter vacation, right? Instead of sun and sand, they offer free skiing, including lessons and passes to local ski resorts. This one includes airfare as well, and great accomodations!
#5. Texas. Er, wait, what? Oh, right... The SUPERBOWL in Texas. Not that Texas isn't warm in winter, but well, y'know. Texas. Not exactly the tropical vacation of dreams, except that you can WIN FREE TICKETS to the SUPERBOWL. In Texas. This ends RIGHT AWAY, Jan 22, and requires a newsletter signup. But hey, you could win tickets to the Superbowl.
And that wraps it up.

5+ Giveaways Today: A little of everything
1. One of my favorite places to enter is over at Goodreads. Here, not only can you enter to win books, but you connect with community and see what your friends are reading and enjoy. The only downside I've seen is that contests are one per household, so my wife and I don't have separate accounts. This week I'm entering to win a bunch, but my favorite contests have one of the following: Few entries competing, Lots of copies available, an interesting subject, or a just plain awesome title/cover.
Of course, simply putting up a few books from Goodreads doesn't count as a full post, so here are a few other things I've been doing lately:
2. I'm entering to win a trip, with both Instant Win and a sweepstakes at the end. The Harry and David promo has some pretty awesome prizes, so go check it out.
3. Todd and Erin, local show hosts, also have a blog with prizes, giveaways, coupons, etc. For the most part they link to other places, and their emails often have fantastic information. They also do a monthly gift card giveaway. They have a lot of followers, but someone has to win, right?
4. If you're willing to travel just before Valentines Day, there is a free trip to New York for Fashion Week. Sponsored by Payless, this is a single entry sweep, which I personally really like.
5. Speaking of Travel, this next one is absolutely astonishing. The Select Registry: Distinguished Inns of North America is giving away a $500 gift certificate, which is available for use at any of 400+ properties across the country. While no airfare is paid, the gift certificate by itself is just plain awesome, as many of these locations are Bed and Breakfasts, or small, privately run locations big on charm and elegance.
6. Leite's Culinaria has a couple of books up for free giveaways, one for delicious Indian spices and the other for The Butcher and the Vegetarian. They both sound amazing, and they both end right away, so get cracking and enter NOW!
7. One for the kidlets, As They Grow Up is offering Pocoyo Bath Toys. This is a blog giveaway, which means that entry can be a bit more of a hassle, but if you win, its always worth it.Watch for their ways to get extra entries and boost your chance of winning!
Speaking of boosting your chances of winning, expect to see me picking up Twitter for this blog pretty soon. I've never used it before, but if there is something I really want to win, the extra entries from tweeting the contest would be worth it. Maybe.
