Who wants $1,000 for a family holiday? My exclusive HotelClub giveaway
Free money…
Who loves it?
Let it roll around in your head for a moment and imagine what you could do with it.
Let me help you out by giving you an amount.
Let’s say $500.
What are you going to do with it?
New wardrobe? Plasma TV? A trip to Dream World? Or pay off the dreaded credit card bill?
(Okay sometimes we gotta take our free money and pay down the looming bills and debts. That’s just smart. )
But sometimes you’ve just got to spend it on what makes your heart sing.
I want you to spend it on a moment where you can forget your daily problems, the schedules, the routines, and the demands and just live and laugh and share with your family.
I bet I know what you are imagining.
You’re on a family holiday.
Travel is one of the only times we can switch off from the reality of our lives and just have fun. The problem is we often let excuses, like money, time or responsibilities, to get in the way of us taking time out for that family holiday.
Screw those excuses. This is life. You should be living it and loving it.
So I’m giving you some money to go travel.
The HotelClub $1,000 Givewaway
I’ve teamed up with HotelClub who are graciously giving away:
- $500 cash for someone to spend on a holiday.
- $500 worth of HotelClub rewards (1 Member Reward = $1USD) to spend on accommodation at any one of their 70,000+ hotels, any time.
So that’s $1,000 they are giving away to my lovely community of readers.
I am doing the happy dance, because two people will be getting free money to help bring their family travel dreams to life.
Thanks for being such a great community.

HELLLLOOO!!!
I am currently in beautiful Samara, Costa Rica. This place is gorgeous! The hostel im staying at, Las Mariposas, has extremely fun volunteers and the owner is around regularly to check to see if everyone is happy.
The beach here is amazing! The surf is big enough for anyone to ride on, but its still at a beginner level so almost anyone can learn to surf! There is also beautiful horseback riding, hiking, and some great nightlife for those party lovers out there!
I would reccomend this place to ANYONE!

Thanks for the great giveaway Caz! Here is our post. I didn’t use a city, but instead a destination.

Hope you like it!

Hey Caz,
I also entered for the $500 hotel club rewards but when I pressed submit, it took me to your facebook page.
Does that mean you got our entry? It didn’t say anything about receiving it.
Thanks!
Nicole
Caz Makepeace
Yep! I got it. I think you should have received a confirmation email. Thanks so much for entering!!
Danielle
Hi Kaz,
I filled in the form too, but not sure if it was received. My favorite city for family travel is Cairns. http://www.bubsonthemove.com/?p=45

First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!
