The importance of voting.

The importance of voting and exercising democracy is a vital component of society. Wouldn't you agree?
Which is why it is so critical that everyone get out and vote for the presidential elections...and the Travelocity trip around the world contest. Right?
That's right...I am trying to win a trip around the world.
I had to make a short video as my entry submission and there is a possibility that I might be slightly embarrassed by it. Regardless, I still think I stand a chance to win... But I need voters.

Would you vote for me? I can't promise to take away taxes or end the war but I will send postcards and positive energy your way!

Then hit "submit a video or vote"

In the search box type "Elissa"

and click on Gnome meets Elissa.

After you have voted you should make you own video and then send it to me to vote for.

I wish I could pass out "I voted" stickers now.

Dahl had it all figured out.

Best Kept Traveling Secret

I'm over kayak. I never get the impression it's on our team. For the last several years I have opted to mostly search and fly with Southwest. The bags are fee, the pilots are funny, the flights are reasonable, and you can pick your own seat. I earn miles giving me free flights... it works for me.

However every once in awhile the flight prices are too high for my wee little bank account. And that is why I LOVE this site: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/

Select "see calendar of lowest fares" and enjoy the feeling of purchasing a $160 one way ticket to the East Coast.

Ready. Set. Travel!
