Contest - Travel Deals

Don’t you hate it when you sign up for a contest and there is some catch like you have to pay to participate? There is no catch when it comes to BootsnAll’s online Travel Treasure Hunt contest. It is free to enter and all you have to do is participate. If you are able to successfully navigate through the treasure hunt you might just have a treasure waiting for you at the end.

We’re talking about the chance to win an around the world air ticket with a value of up to $2,000. You can also win a free spot on an adventure trip in Turkey, Eurail passes and other hot items that surely will make your travel heart go all aflutter.

The contest starts on May 1, 2007 so do yourself a favor and sign up to participate today. Good luck. If you happen to win, please remember where you heard about it. I’d be happy to help you use your Eurail passes or to fly around the world lugging your bags.

Chances are that if you own a television you probably have seen one of those Southwest Airlines Wanna Get Away commercials. You know the ones where someone does something completely embarrassing and would like to be transported to another place or time to escape the humiliation.

I had one of these moments a few years back when I was living in a foreign country. My language skills were not the best so I would frequently visit my friend’s very old and very sweet grandmother who was very patient with me as I practiced the language. One day I was visiting her and she told me I needed to eat some of her food. I politely declined and she said something to the effect that I needed to eat or I would melt away. I replied that since I had come to her country I had not lost any weight. At least that is what I thought I replied.

It turns out that I got my verbs mixed up and instead of saying I had not lost weight, I said that I had no masturbated since coming to her country. The look on her face was pure shock. It was a Wanna Get Away moment.

Too bad I did not have a video camera with me at the time because surely this ultimate blunder would have won the Southwest Airlines Wanna Get Away contest.

Here’s a chance for you to see one of the most unique sporting events in the United States and to explore Alaska for free.

It costs absolutely nothing to enter so go ahead and sign up today. If you do win, make sure you send your thank you letter to BootsnAll c/o Bob. Good luck!

The contest ends December 15, 2006.
