Contest, Sweepstakes, , ,

Goa IndiaIndia’s been at or near the top of my list of countries to visit for quite some time but I’m not sure when the time will come for me to visit. The problem is that a trip to India will require a decent amount of time. Also, Kim is not so interested in going.

Harper’s Bazaar is giving away a trip to Goa India.

While the prize only comes with a four-night stay, winning a trip there would be a great way to finally make it to India (although only for a short visit…) Continue reading Win A Lux Trip to Goa, India →

If neither of these offers appealed to you (or if you happen to prefer United miles), here is a third option. Continue reading United MileagePlus Shopping- Earn 4,000 Bonus Miles + Win 100,000 Miles →
