December 15: Win Cool Travel Prizes!

Posted on December 15th, 2009 by Andrea M. Rotondo in East Africa, Indian Ocean, North Africa, Southern Africa

Well, it’s finally our turn! The 2009 Travel Blog­gers’ Car­a­van wraps up today at LuxurySafariExperts.com. It’s been a fun two weeks and I’ve dis­cov­ered a lot of new travel blogs to watch through­out 2010. We hope you did too!

Today’s giveaway—a pair of Able Planet fold­ing noise-cancelling headphones—is cour­tesy of Magellan’s Travel Sup­plies. If you still need to pick up some last-minute hol­i­day gits, check out their web­site. Magellan’s offers some unique and very use­ful items for travelers.

If you’re trav­el­ing to Africa next year, you’ll want a pair of noise-reduction head­phones. They dra­mat­i­cally cut back on air­plane noise so you can lis­ten to music or a movie in com­fort. I tend to watch sev­eral movies on long-haul flights and noise-cancelling head­phones have saved the day on more than one occasion.

Win a Pair of Able Planet Fold­ing Noise-Cancelling Headphones

One lucky reader will be ran­domly cho­sen from all eli­gi­ble entries to win a pair of Able Planet Noise-Cancelling Head­phones. Con­test starts at mid­night on Decem­ber 15 and ends the same day at 11:59 pm. You must have a mail­ing address within the United States in order to be eli­gi­ble to enter and win.

How to Enter

Com­ment on this post between 12:00 am (mid­night) and 11:59 pm on Decem­ber 15, 2009. You’ll need to include your e-mail address so I may make con­tact if you are the win­ner. Good luck!

    Hey there — Happy Hol­i­days. Thank you for this great blog. I almost went to Africa a few years ago but my part­ner couldn’t make it. Such a beau­ti­ful place.… And thanks so much for offer­ing these head­phones. I know some­one who has a pair and I tried them on one time and they were AMAZING.
    Thanks for the oppor­tu­nity,
    Kathy

    My hus­band trav­els so much for his job and I know he would absolutely love a pair of these very fine Planet Able fold­ing noise-cancelling head­phones. They are a lux­ury item he has been want­ing, but is not self­ish enough to pur­chase for him­self, he always thinks of the kids first. I’d love to sur­prise him with these. Thanks so much for the chance to enter and Happy Holidays!
