Screen Shot 2014-01-27 at 11.36.42 PM

Qantas and Destination New South Wales are giving two lucky winners an amazing trip (for two) to Sydney, Australia to see the L.A. Dodgers play in one of their opening series games.

This trip sounds like the perfect prize. Kim and I went on our honeymoon to Australia and would love to visit again some day. For those of you that don’t know, baseball is my favorite sport and I love visiting new stadiums. During our trip to Japan, I even got to see a game there. It would be awesome to get to see the Dodgers play in Australia!

Win A Trip For 2 to the Air Capital of the World

Screen Shot 2014-01-14 at 11.08.29 PM

Southwest Spirit Magazine is giving away a trip for 2 to Wichita, Kansas- The Air Capital of the World.

I was wondering why Wichita was known as The Air Capital of the World so I decided to find out.

According to Go Wichita Convention & Visitors Bureau

The population of Wichita nearly doubled in 1918 after a great oil reserve was discovered nearby. In turn, the oil money allowed local entrepreneurs to invest in the up and coming airplane industry. Men like Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech, and Clyde Cessna brought the industry to the area, and during World War II it was the major manufacturing center for airplanes needed in the war effort. Wichita remains the center for the aircraft industry, the “Air Capital of the World,” producing 70% of U.S. general aviation aircraft.

Win 100,000 Gold Points From Club Carlson

Screen Shot 2013-12-09 at 11.13.36 PMClub Carlson is currently running the Stay 3 Nights, Get 1 Free promotion. The free night is actually awarded in the form of 38,000 bonus points so this isn’t really a true free night offer. For those of you that don’t know, many hotels in the Club Carlson family cost more than 38K to book.

Screen Shot 2014-01-17 at 4.51.35 PMEither way, if you have a 3 night stay coming up and choose to stay with Club Carlson, this is still a great offer.

Win A Trip To The Bourbon Classic in Louisville, KY

Screen Shot 2014-01-07 at 1.05.11 AMTime Out New York tweeted about this contest which I felt was worth sharing.

Blood, Seat & Cheers is sponsoring a contest where you could win a trip for 2 to the Bourbon Classic in Louisville, Kentucky.

At the end of 2012 Kim, Lucas and I visited Louisville but we didn’t have time to stop at any of the bourbon distilleries while driving to Nashville. I can’t say that I’m a bourbon drinker but I would love to go back to Louisville and check out the event.
