Hannukah. Christmas. Kwanzaa. New Years. 3 Kings Day. I'm celebrating the whole shabang. I am in the holiday spirit. I'm playing Christmas music, wearing a silly holiday hat at work every day, and drinking Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice Lattes (tall decaf soy) from Starbucks several times a week. This past weekend I even set out to embark on a day where I performed various random acts of kindness, but instead found myself on the receiving end after I lost my rental car keys on an end-of-the-year airline mileage run in Los Angeles. People can be so nice.
Starting today, I'm holding my very own daily (!) #Traveltastic Holiday Giveaway. I'm going to do a travel-themed giveaway every 24 hours until I feel like stopping. *Clapping and Smiling* And yes, entering is easy peasy. Just leave ONE cheerful holiday message in the comments section of this post along with your name, city, state and where you'll be taking your next trip...whether it's a staycation in your own town or a big trip out of the country.
Every 24 hours, I will assign all correct entries with a number, pick a winning number at random, and post the results on this blog post. And then the 24-hour #traveltastic giveaway clock will begin again. If you've entered once, you're in the running for all of the prizes. #sa-weet

January 5 #Traveltastic Holiday Giveaway
Most of my personal suitcases are identifiable. I've got hot pink and sun yellow from The eBags Brand as well as a fun leopard suitcase I got from Burlington Coat Factory that I use to transport supplies for The Passport Party Project. When I travel to Paris, however, I use mostly black duffle bags for all of the goodies I buy for my store. But the truth is that whether my bags are identifiable or not, it's my bright yellow luggage tags (courtesy of Expedia) that make me 100% certain that it's my bag coming off the luggage turnstile.
Today's #traveltastic Holiday Giveaway is a legacy leather luggage tag by Coach, and if you win it today, you'll definitely be able to ID your bags by this lovely and bright Tourmaline (almost like Tiffany!) color. Plus, the tag will be monogrammed with your initials on it as well. #niiiiice

I don't know what you think, but I think traveling to 1,000 places seems like a whole lotta places! (Doesn't it?) To me, travel isn't about counting the number of countries or cities you've been to, but is instead about the quality of the trip and the personal growth that travel brings about. But, hey, that's just me.
In spite of my personal perspective, however, I love the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die and am pleased to announce that today's #traveltastic giveaway is the book AND the 2013 calendar. A girl can dream...

| OneBrownGirl in Morocco. |
I went to Marrakesh, Morocco in November 2012 and while I've been too busy to write about it, I will say that I ended up having a love/hate relationship with this beautiful and exotic locale ... which was quite the surprise. And yes, I would go back, but I think Casablanca (on the beach) is next.
I bought babouches (Moroccan slippers) for myself and my store and I bought these really pretty embroidered caftans, one of which is today's #traveltastic Holiday Giveaway. Cool, hunh?

It doesn't have to be a winter vacation for you to need an umbrella, right? I've been to a Caribbean island or two where I got caught in a downpour and while it wasn't cold, I still got hecka wet.
This year I've got my eye on Venice, Italy and (as usual) Paris, France, so today's #traveltastic Holiday Giveaway (because it's still the holiday season!) is two (!) collapsible umbrellas that depict the canals of Venice and the iconic Eiffel Tower, respectively.

My annual Paris trip for women (teen girls too!) does not focus on the Black experience in Paris, but to be frank, that's neither here nor there because any person that visits Paris with an interest in the contributions that African-Americans made and continue to make can take one of Julia Browne's Walking in the Spirit Tours to get the 411. In fact, one of my Paris 2012 tripsters did just that and I'll be taking Julia's tour this coming November. #woot My solo trek to Josephine Baker's beloved Château des Milandes turned me out completely.
So guess what? Julia partnered with documentarian Joanne Burke of Blue Lions Films on a DVD series entitled When African-Americans Came to Paris which is today's #traveltastic Holiday Giveaway! Yep. Today's winner will receive an exceptional series of six videos filled with rare and astounding archival images of Black Paris. How about them pommes?

In my opinion, one of the most #traveltastic Holiday gifts in the world is this map necklace by Erica Porter of Paper and Place. Win this prize and you will simply choose your favorite destination and Erica will make your custom-made map necklace from her personal collection of maps. Is that not The Absolute Cutest?!?!?
I actually found out about Erica on Facebook and she ultimately agreed to be The Passport Party Project's Official Map Necklace Sponsor...without hesitation...which means that one girl from each Passport Party has been winning her very own custom map necklace and will continue to do so throughout this wonderful global awareness initiative sponsored by Expedia. [Erica is also donating map necklaces to the Grand Prize winners of the Belize trip!]

On a boat trip yearsss ago, I was floating around on a raft on a hot summer day on Nevada's Lake Mead when I heard someone ask for the time. Who cares? I thought to myself as I soaked in the sunshine fresh from waterskiing. What difference does it make? And for some reason on that particular day at that particular time, I vowed that I would never wear a watch again. (Is that weird?) And the truth is, I haven't. #randomfactaboutTracey
I've tried them on while shopping, of course. But just for fun. I've even received watches as gifts over the years. Some watches are exceptional, don't you think?
Over a year ago, I received this brand new Fossil watch as swag at a blogging conference and it has been sitting in its trusty little box ticking away ever since. It's super cute too. I believe it's been waiting just for you because I inadvertently found it just in time for this #traveltastic holiday giveaway and well...I don't wear a watch. =D

Ecuador next Novemeber - to scout a potential new address. But if I can swing it ...another trip to Paris, because it's completely different in the Spring. And really - does one actually need a reason to go back to Paris?

Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy Holidays to you all!

So glad I got to meet you in New Orleans during Niche Mommy this year! Wishing you a very Happy Holidays and a Prosperous travel filled new year!
I'm not sure about my next trip just yet. I spent most of 2012 in the hospital and all my travel what little of it I was allowed to do had to be approved by my doctors. I was told last year at this time I wouldn't even see 2012 begin nevertheless end, so quite frankly all I want to do in 2013 is be OUTSIDE every single day! :)

Happy Holidays to my favorite traveling soul sista! I see out your posts to see where you're currently off too, and I've added a couple of the places to my own "bucket" list. I pray that your New Year will be filled with many upgrades, and VIP treatments wherever you go. My travel spots for 2013... Dubai, Jamaica, and Grand Turks. I've not been to any of those places before and am looking forward to it. Just may try to squeeze Paris in... Just maybe. Lenise

Not sure what happened to my earlier post...so as of today 12/29, I have transformed my Nawlins inspired Christmas tree to a Happy New Year tree. Still in disbelief of how much I ate, but 'tis the season...with family and friends. Although it was an eventful year for me, nevertheless I survived and I am thankful for much. Learned a lot of lessons and much more about me!! Pam B./Dallas
