that’s right! the travel lottery!!
a little over a month ago, my travel blogging pal, Leah, told me about a contest called Go with Oh.Β there were several prizes one could win depending on how you wanted to play but Leah was interested in the BIG prize and said she was entering and thought i should too.
we struck a deal. if she won, she’d take me. if i won, i’d take her. EASY deal to make! we shook on it virtually – like we do with most of our big plans.
Leah went on to craft her perfect story Go with Oh to Florence and i wrote my story about Go with Oh to Paris. it was super fun to imagine outrageous things i could do in Paris and i loved promoting both my story and Leah’s. we make a great travel team!!
well, guess what?! the contest is now over and I DIDN’T WIN. but there’s no need for me to be a sore loser. Leah won and so i’m getting to go as her travel partner in crime tag-a-long. it really couldn’t get much better! we will be traveling to more than 5 cities the month of November. Florence & 4 other cities will be revealed next week!
i truly feel like i’ve hit the jackpot with this one. when do you ever get a free pass to go to Europe for a month and have all your accommodations paid for? ummm, like NEVER. it’s an opportunity of a lifetime that i’m so grateful i get to partake in.
thank you Leah for striking the deal & inviting me along. i know our adventures together will be memories that last us a lifetime. AND i look forward to sharing our stories with all of you that enjoy reading where in the world is lola?
Thank you for accepting. I wouldn’t have made that deal with anyone else! We will have the best time planning and taking the trip. Yes, it is a trip of a lifetime and I’m glad you’re my tag-a-long.
you are simply THE BEST! that is so nice and i feel just the same. thank god travel, texas & jcrew have brought us together!
You ladies have an AWESOME time!! I can’t wait to read all about it.
