Travel Contest - Travel Deals

The average high temperature in Anchorage, Alaska in December is 23.7 degrees. That sounds brutal until you learn that the average high temperature in January is 22.2 degrees and the average low temperature is 9.3 degrees. You have to be a hearty soul to appreciate that kind of weather or someone who wouldn’t mind a free trip to a beautiful part of the world.

You can experience Anchorage in the winter by entering and winning a contest that offers two free tickets from Alaska Airlines, three night’s accommodations in Alaska’s largest city and passes to the Tour of Anchorage ski marathon in early March.

Lest you think that Anchorage’s residents spend all of their time in the winter months huddled around the fireplace, there are actually quite a few public events like the Tour of Anchorage that occur during the coldest times of the year. The most famous is the Iditarod Sled Dog Race which pits humans and canine friends against the elements. There’s also Alpine skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling and ample opportunities to view the Northern Lights. I also have it on good authority that Anchorage has a nifty little nightlife with ample spots to warm your insides with some tasty beverages.

Could there be a more perfect promotion than one involving a free trip to Iceland and vodka? No way. Here are all the details. If you win, you will have to take me as one of your 9 friends. Don’t let that discourage you from entering. I am perfectly fine to travel with, especially if I have enough vodka around.

Iceland is a land of puffins, volcanoes, eco-friendly Vodka and amazing music festivals.

In honor of Iceland’s 63rd birthday, Reyka Vodka and Iceland Naturally have just announced a once in a lifetime contest for 1 lucky winner and 9 friends to fly to Iceland for three days and 2 nights of partying, soaking in the Blue Lagoon, sight seeing and to attend the world renowned Iceland Airwaves Music Festival.

Any US or Canadian resident over 21 can enter to win here:

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.

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.
