Le Club Accor is interested in your opinion and is giving away tablets to two lucky winners for filling out a survey which you get to through their Facebook page.

The survey took about 5-10 minutes which was longer than I expected but worth the time for a shot at a new tablet.

The Prize:

  • Two- New iPads in black 

Some Rules:

  • Contest is open to anyone (“except for individuals that have participated in the establishment or implementation of the contest”)
  • Enter by December 30, 2012  

To enter:

  • Click Here and “like” Le Club Accor on Facebook. 
  • Then scroll down to the post from Thursday 12/13 and take the survey

 Good Luck!

Fodor’s City Guide Apps Are Now FREE

I received an e-mail from Fodor’s announcing that their mobile apps for the iPhone and iPad would now be free. When planning a trip and traveling, 95% of the time I go with a Lonely
Planet guide but for free I figured these apps might be worth a look (or a download).

The apps are only available for six cities so far:
(download each travel guide by clicking on the links)
I’ve actually visited all six of the cities that the apps are available for and don’t plan to visit them again in the near future. However, since I live in Brooklyn I thought that the NYC travel guide might be fun to check out. 
I downloaded the NYC Travel Guide App and feel that for free it is a very nice and useful tool. It can be used to find out information and recommendations for dining, places to stay, shopping and sights. You can also book hotels, make restaurant reservations and buy concert and theater tickets.
Another nice feature is the option to download an offline map and also view a subway map.
