Many thanks to Lakshmi for this post:

E: 10/07 Win A Holiday To Curacao Pride

Just got the call to say I won!

Waiting to see if I can add kids onto the flights as I think they would love the atmosphere!

Its been a couple of years since I won a big prize like this, so it just shows that grinding away on the comps will pay off!

Super happy!!
