Is the Lingo 16-Language Translator (available from Magellan’s Travel Supplies) on your holiday wish list? If so, read this entire post to find out how to enter and win a translator for yourself!
I’m thrilled to announce the first (and, hopefully, annual) Travel Bloggers’ Caravan. Starting today, I invite you to follow 15 top travel bloggers for a chance to win prizes in celebration of the season.
Prizes range from hotel gift cards and overnight stays to digital cameras and noise-cancelling headphones to luggage and camera bags to travel guidebooks and DVDs. Magellan’s Travel Supplies has signed on as a sponsor of this event. If you’ve got a traveler on your holiday shopping list, check out the unique gifts available at Magellan’s.
Each day, between December 2–15, a different travel expert’s blog will be featured in this round robin event. You’ll have a chance to win one of over a dozen prizes by reading and commenting on the daily blog post.
The Caravan starts tomorrow! Simply visit the Luxury Cruise Bible blog each morning to learn about the featured Caravan “stop-of-the-day” between December 2 and 15, and then enter to win.
This blog will be featured on December 3rd. Mark your calendar and be sure to comment on my post that day in order to be entered in the giveaway.
