Update 9:50pm PT 8/2/2015: After carefully reviewing all the responses, these are my 3 winners. Reasons: I love Taylor Swift, I love when people try to teach their spouses about MS, and I love Australia (even though I have never been). Thank you to everyone who commented on this post. Have a great evening!
- Elena: Taylor Swift concert at Levi’s stadium! I’ve bought tickets since day 1 in December 2014 and have been waiting and waiting. And now it will finally be here! I’m like a little girl that can’t control her excitement and have no shame admitting I like her and her songs.
- James: I’m looking forward to teaching my wife more about MS’ing so she can help me!
- Marc: Looking forward to a trip to Tasmania to see some college friends for the first time in a decade and then to Sydney/Cairns as a gift for my brother’s 30th bday party
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. With the end of July a few days ago, I wanted to take a look at my site stats and see how things are going. I finished off July with a few good posts and ended up with 104,909 total page views for the month. That is a pretty good finish, but there is always room to grow. Thank you to my long time readers for coming back day after day to my blog, I really appreciate each and every one of you.
I love looking at the below report that shows which posts were the most popular over the last 30 days. All the posts are from July, with the exception of the 4 posts mentioned below. It is amazing to see a few posts from earlier this year and from last year that have very good staying power. Thank you Google search :)
Alright, enough stats talk. Let’s get to the Amazon eGift Card Giveaway! The giveaway will run today only and end tonight (Sunday, August 2, 2015) at 9pm PT. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what you are most looking forward to in August. I will pick my 3 favorite responses and send 3 winners a $10 Amazon eGift Card. To get things started, here is what I am looking forward to in August:
I am flying down to Orange County in mid August to see my family for the weekend (OC Meetup scheduled too). Stay tuned!
Good luck everyone and have a great Sunday! Here’s to an amazing August!
I work for our local school system so I am looking forward to enjoying my last little bit of time off before heading back to work (& start planning my next summer’s vacation – I really do plan that far in advance).
Enjoy the last days of your summer vacation. Do you have any plans for next summer’s vacation?
I would have guessed you are too buys vacationing to plan your next vacation! You are such the jetsetter these days!
I’m looking forward to … more flying! Not that I have any booked yet.
My Birthday!
Happy early birthday, Art. Got any plans for ways to celebrate?
I’m looking forward to using one of those Amazon cards, since I have no travel plans until October.
I’m looking forward to finding more manufactured spend opportunities – always another one waiting around the corner!
You and me both. I would be happy with no more MS negative changes for a few months too :)
Looking forward to new promotions
Awesome achievement with the page views grant! Looking forward to reunion w college friends (my gosh …. 12 years since college graduation) crazy.
Thank you Alex. It has been a long, hard road, but I have surely enjoyed writing for the last 2 years. I graduated college in 2012, so I have a few more years to go until my 12 year reunion.
I have just been awarded a training grant by the US government, and I am looking forward to starting my new life in San Diego, the place that I will call home for the next 5 years! :)
San Diego is a great place to be, I hope your training grant goes well :)
I’m looking forward to more Amex Offers as they seem to be on a roll.
You and me both, Hank. We’ve seen some pretty good offers lately, but nothing amazing for a few months. Hopefully a few great offers come around soon :)
I’m looking forward to hitting up the Iowa state fair and eating many foods on a stick. I’m also looking to go to a 5k and stay somewhere cushy the night before!
The Iowa State Fair sounds like a great place to go if you love friend food on a stick. What is the craziest thing you have eaten at a state fair?
i am looking forward to……..beating the gmat so i can go travel
Good luck on the GMAT, I took it twice and it was not fun. I wish you better luck than myself!
looking forward to sipping mojito on the beach, enjoying the last throes of summer and waiting for the weather to cool off
Mojitos on the beach, that is the way to go :)
I’m looking forward to vacation with my family.
That sounds nice, HS. Where are you and your family headed?
I’m looking forward to making the most of the rest of the summer
I’m embracing the dog days of summer (bring on the heat!). I’m looking forward to traveling to Iowa in 2 weeks for the great Iowa State Fair and of course to spend time with family!
That sounds awesome. I see 2 of my readers are heading to the Iowa State Fair this month. Enjoy the food, rides, and animals.
I’m leaving for Scotland on August 31! Living in a hub city, so I am making use of Delta miles and flying business class to burn through them!
Sounds like an awesome adventure, have a great time in Scotland!
Looking forward to spending my birthday with my husband in NYC during restaurant week. Very little out of pocket with miles and points covering a lot.
Sounds like a great trip to NYC. I hope you get a few great meals during NYC Restaurant Week.
I’m looking forward to reading ‘Travel with Grant’ everyday because it is the best blog ever!!!!
Thank you Chris, that might be my favorite answer of the day!
We are doing a roadtrip – The Great Ocean Road – from Melbourne to Adelaide, Australia.
This has been on my list for a while, plus we get to see some family in Melbourne.
Oh, and I turn 30! yay…not :(
Happy early birthday! That sounds like an epic road trip in Australia. I think my uncle lives in Melbourne, but I have never been to Australia to visit him.
Visiting Taiwan and the Hello Kitty Jet
Have fun riding the Hello Kitty airplane. I’m not sure I could stand that much Hello Kitty stuff for that long of a flight.
