Here are the Giveaway Items!
Here is what is on the giveaway block for today:
- Amazon Kindle Fire 7″
- Amazon Kindle Reader
- Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker + HR
- United Airlines Lounge Pass
- $25 Running Warehouse Gift Card
- Anker Ultra-Compact Portable Charger
I personally have an Amazon Kindle and use it every single day! I would not think of going on a trip (or almost anywhere) without it. Yes, I have an iPhone but reading on an ereader is a great experience. The Fire tablets can also be used for reading and playing content as well as downloading apps for your enjoyment.
If you want to try and be more fit in this coming year, then the Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker is perfect for you! I love Garmin devices and I think you really enjoy this one.
As for the other gifts, the lounge pass is a great way to get some relaxation and food and drinks while waiting for your next flight. The Running Warehouse is one of my favorite online running stores with a great return policy and really good prices. And finally, if you have a smartphone, you have probably found yourself to be running low on power at some point during a day, especially when traveling. I have and use an Anker charging device and they can be a real help, plus they are very tiny. 🙂

Great giveaway! love your blog.
Hope I Win!
I like to learn about all the great deals and promotions on travel and shopping.
In!
Thank you!
More trip reports!
I agree about the Kindle! I have a Kindle Fire and love being able to just read my books (or watch a movie) when the flight is delayed and I’m sitting bored on the tarmac (and everyone else isn’t allowed to use their laptops). Although I still love real books, the Kindle is a must-pack item.
Thank you, it’s great to find new travel deals others missed.
In for one!
Congrats and thanks for the tips.
Awesome!
Oooh. Would love that Garmin. Thanks for the giveaway and all the great info!
The detail in the posts. Very linear explanations.
Thanks for everything!
Happy Holidays! Thank you!
Travel and running deals all in one place. Congrats on 5 years
What do I like about this blog? For one, we’re both fellow runners and its nice to read from somebody else who does the same thing I do. When I visit a new destination, I find going for a run (assuming its safe enough to do so) is one of the best ways to actually see how the people are living without the sterility of a tour.
Congrats on the 5 years! Great mix of travel + fitness watch reviews + deals.
Guess my previous entry was too early this morning!
Thanks for everything and happy Anniversary!
I would love to win a Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker + HR

Always looking for travel tips and savings on travel.
Thanks for all the great work that you do on your blog. I recently purchased a Pebble 2, which as you know, was not a timely move… so I appreciate all of you info on Garmin smart watches. I bought a Forerunner 305 almost a decade ago. It’s huge! Still works and never had any issues with it. Looking forward to transitioning to a modern version soon.
Happy anniversary and happy holidays!
Congratulations on your 5th year! Travel and fitness hints are great! Any of your give-away prizes would be great! We will travel the world until our health keeps us at home.
