Be One of Three Winners in this New Travel Giveaway
Today I am beginning a new travel giveaway and the prize will be a copy of my book, Business Travel Success: How to Reduce Stress, Be More Productive and Travel With Confidence. It is loaded with over a thousand travel tips and most of them apply to leisure travelers as well as business travelers.
Instead of having one winning entry drawn, I am getting into the holiday spirit so I will give away three copies of the book.
This book is all about travel tips so to enter, just post a comment here about a travel tip that will help your fellow travelers. It can be any tip related to travel, even one that is already in the book.
I will end this contest on Friday, December 12, 2014 at midnight U.S. Eastern time. I will randomly draw the winning entries and post the winner ID’s on Saturday. I will contact each winner by email and they will have three days to respond. If I do not hear from a winner within those three days, I will select another name until all three prizes are awarded.
This contest is limited to those in the U.S. The winners will have to provide their names and addresses for shipping. Please note, entries are limited to only one per person, age 18+.
Good luck to everyone!

Don’t forget to charge your electronic devices (phones, laptop, iPads, etc) before you go to the airport.
Try not to check in a bag – you’ll breeze through the airport and the flight easily!
Pack light…you really don’t need all that stuff. Pack clothes that go together and you will be set.
Always lock your luggage! It helps with the less than honest people out there, and it also prevents your bags from opening accidentally.
Make sure you have a credit card that does not charge a fee for foreign transactions.
Always pack a change of clothes in your carryon
