QUELLE COINCIDENCE

Now, if this isn’t a coincidence. Just yesterday I mentioned how my son’s had Australia on the brain for at least four years. I know we’ll get there; recent summers have just been too complicated for us to take a trip to the other side of the world. Now here’s a contest with a prize to the Great Barrier Reef. Actually, the winner gets to select his or her prize from three trips. The two other choices are Costa Rica and a safari in Kenya. Wow. For us, it would be between The Great Barrier Reef and Kenya, since we’ve been to Costa Rica. (A fantastic trip, that Costa Rica trip.)

To enter, click HERE, it's an icon on Citibank's site, and follow the instructions. (Message to Citibank: What is with the Ugly American Tourist dude on the entry page?) You have to answer three trivia questions. For each correct answer, you get a chance to win. Then it gets a little complicated, not terribly, but a few more steps. I wasn’t able to get all the way through it because my computer’s acting funky. (Damn spyware. Or, maybe it’s the President. They’re monitoring our phone calls. Blogs might be next.) I’ll post thoughts on how navigable this one is once I get the hang of it -- this evening I hope. We’ve only got a little more than a month to go for it: You can enter once a day through June 16. Residents of Colorado, Puerto Rico are not eligible.
