Good morning everyone, happy Friday! A few days ago, we held a giveaway to celebrate my 100th post on TWG. Many, many thanks to all of you who read that post. I appreciate the time you took to leave comments. They were so much fun to read. And they’ve given me great ideas for the next 100 posts :) Encouragement from readers means a latte a lot to me!
After Grant and I read all the comments, it was unfortunate we couldn’t choose them all. Here are the winning comments:
| Gaston | I really enjoyed your most recent post “My Citi Prestige Credit Card Saved Me $1,000+ this Year with the 4th Night Free Benefit”. As always, you combine your sharing of great travel experiences with saving us $! |
| Denise | My favorite post was learning about Slovenia. I am looking forward to hearing more about your travels. |
| Mike | I loved the series on San DIego/Coronado! Now that the Hotel Del Coronado is a Hilton property I am planning to schedule a trip there and this series couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. |
| YoLaViajera | My favorite post was one you wrote several months ago, but I saved it in my Favorites, for when I go to Vancouver. It’s titled “See, Eat & Drink: The Perfect Long Weekend in Vancouver, Canada”. I love the posts where you write not only about the hotel you’re staying at, but when you also give tips on dining and things to do. Congrats on your 100th post. Here’s to many more! :) |
| Jon W. | Oh Gd, as you know, I love many of your posts but I guess my favorite is your BEAN around the world San Francisco Part 2 because it contains my personal favorite local roaster – Verve! Looking forward for your next visit to the Bay to try our roasters on the other side of the Bay. P.S., did you publish your Vancouver post? PLan to try some coffee shops there next time I’m in town (aside from 49th parallel) |
| Leslie | I really appreciated the post on “Italian Vacation Part 1: Gelato in Venice, Park Hyatt Milan Meat Slicer and the Last Supper.” I have been dying to visit Milan and I didn’t know about La Scala Museum. I love art, history and culture so this was just up my alley. Thanks for the detailed information on eateries and the gelato! YUM! |
| rm | the post about coffee in boston was super. especially because i am a coffee aficionado. and even though i now am a caretaker and horsekeeper in talking rock, ga where my niche coffee market is all but absent…i am soon to fly to visit my sister/husband/my niece in boston. they are exclusively starbucks people. and based on your post, i plan to open their eyes (and all other senses!) to some alternatives…and to funding some local shops! thanks! |
| Liz | I enjoyed your article on how to book flights using Citi Thank You points. I have a bunch of Thank You points and I never know when to use them, so this had some great advice! |
| Joe O | You did a post interviewing an Uber driver about how much they earn I thought was really interesting… it was awhile ago, so I can’t find it now, but I swear it happened. :) |
| Bill Pisor | We really enjoyed your post on “Which IHG hotels you’d book with 100,00 points”. We don’t as yet have that many points with IHG but your article gave us a wonderful goal to shoot for and many options on which hotels to choose! Keep up the great advice! |
We will send out $10 Amazon eGift Cards to the winners via email, so check your email (and spam) folders for an email from Grant. Thanks again to everyone who left a comment and for all the readers out there, wherever you are in the world. Have a great day, and enjoy your travels!
Sweet! Thanks to Shelli, Grant and all commentators :)
You’re welcome, Gaston. Enjoy your weekend, and Amazon shopping :)
What a great way to start the weekend! Thank you Shelli and Grant. Looking forward to reading the next 100 posts.

Woo-hoo! I never win these kinds of things, but today I did!! You guys put a smile on my face, and given the times we’re living in smiling is a pretty rare commodity… THANK YOU! :)
Smiling is a great way to use those facial muscles:) You’re most welcome. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your weekend!
