Have you ever won a holiday?

1972

Yes, I have won 2.


The first was a family trip to Australia in 2007 worth around £9000. We were able to take it at Christmas (but I think that was a mistake by the PR company)


Then 2 years later, I won a family holiday to Florida. It was 7 nights in the Hard Rock Hotel and Universal tickets. We were able to extend our trip, so we paid for Disney tickets and paid for a Disney hotel. So although it cost us quite a bit more, the flights, a week in a fab hotel and Universal tickets were included. As the prize was for 7 day pass to Universal, they gave us each a 3 day and 4 day pass which did not expire. So we used one lot when we were there and were able to use the others when we returned another year - bonus prize!

I have won two.
First was five days in New York including £1000 spend at SAKS.
I negotiated the gift voucher out to add an extra traveller to the trip.


Second was a week in Vancouver. Included was about £800 in excursions eg bus tours, seaplane trip & whale watching in a speedboat. Again I negotiated with the organiser & added another traveller. I just had to pay the airfare as they let me pick a hotel that had extra space for no added cost.

I have been really lucky, a week in Cyprus which was brilliant. Weekend break in a Chateau in France 3 nights in the Scilly Isles. Weekend in London, a Royal Ascot Trip with 2 Nights in a 5 StarHotel. A couple of weekend breaks in Wales and a week in a Caravan and also a few nights at Bluestone.

When itemised like that we have been really fortunate but I tend to enter quite a few holiday comps as I love travelling. The wins have dried up this year but I am not complaining as we have had a great 3 years.

I have been really lucky and won 4 long weekend breaks in a couple of years, Two for Scotland one for the lake district and one for Wales ... had to decline this one as could not get time off work, They have all been better than I ever expected so now I do a search for weekend breaks and enter as many as possible.

I've been really lucky with holiday wins - 20 years ago I won a trip to Florida, 16 years ago a trip to Switzerland, and in 2012 I won 3 holidays - South Africa, Cayman Islands and my wedding in the Bahamas!!

To be fair it's holiday comps that I tend to enter most. Im on a mission to win either a trip to New York or a cruise next
