    Confused a bit though- Why is Cuba included, if trave barred (if winner from USA only, maybe?)

    I think it means you can't choose your accommodation in Cuba through booking.com
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    The comp closes at 12am AEST (Australian Time) on 28th January 2014, so that makes it 1pm 27th Jan GMT (I think!)
