One came from Queensland, Australia, a solid contest that was rendered irrelevant by the horrific floods there.
Then there was the Carnival Cruise Lines Facebook promo we reported on at New Media Travel and now, Princess Cruises has just launched a Facebook Contest for the “Best Travel Bucket St
When it comes to birthday parties in Latin America — these days at least — nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I love a good Inn. When I'm off taking a break, I really don't want to see staff coming and going, I just want a place to relax and get a good night's sleep. And not a kid in sight.
At the Sandpiper Inn, I did just that. The Gulf was a stroll away--I could hear it from my bedroom window--and it was a quiet and peaceful place to relax and write. There was a tiny pool, but the temps while I visited didn't merit a cool-off swim; The landscaping was beautiful and several places beckoned me to sit
