Just a quick head’s up!
Katrina is having another of her excellent “win any book I’ve mentioned” contests this week. It can be a book she’s already given away, one she’s referred to on the blog, something she’s reviewed, or any book on either of her giveaway shelves. Head on over before Sunday to take a peek, and let her know which book you’d choose if you are the winner.
Books, books, books!
My most memorable, lengthy, and geographically distant vacation was a 3 week trip I took to Norway to visit my father and step-mom while they were living in Norway before I was married. I’ve also taken trips to British Columbia and visited a few of the North-Western United States on our honeymoon drive around. I’ve never been to the Eastern coast of North America on either side of the border, but I’d love to go. There are so many things to do in New York for example. I’d love to take one of the New York City tours, like the helicopter tours offered by Trusted Tours & Attractions with my husband - he is fascinated by small flying machines.
My husband, Larry has been to the east side of the U.S. on a trip he took to Boston. While he was there he enjoyed watching the sculling, taking in the historic sites and visiting the learning institutions there. I think he missed out on many of the exciting things to do in Boston such as visiting the New England Aquarium.
Trusted Tours and Attractions offers online travel guides, as well as discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. Sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter and enter to win a handheld GPS before June 30th, 2008.

Mother Hen of A Ship Full O’ Pirates is hosting a giveaway this month (June 2008) for a set of the entire Reclaiming the Culture DVD’s from Vision Forum. In case you haven’t heard of Vision Forum yet, they offer an extensive selection of products of interest to Christian’s who are homeschooling and into family vision/reformation. I have really appreciated and been inspired by their focus on biblical family life.
You can enter here by leaving a comment with your favourite Vision Forum product (or most desired one), and can earn additional entries by promoting the contest on your blog (hmm, guess what I’m doing?). And, the best part, is this contest is open to US AND Canadian residents, woohoo! I know this DVD series will be a blessing for whoever wins it!
