Happy Holidays!
Now that it's December I can tell you about a really fun project I've been putting together: the first—and, hopefully, annual—Travel Bloggers' Caravan & Giveaway.

Starting today, I invite you to follow 14 of my favorite travel bloggers for a chance to win travel-related prizes in celebration of the season.

Prizes range from digital cameras to travel guidebooks to hotel gift cards. Magellan's Travel Supplies has also signed on as a sponsor of this event and all the Caravan bloggers are thrilled to have them on board. If you've got a traveler on your holiday shopping list, check out the unique gifts available at Magellan's website.

Each day, between December 2–15, a different travel expert's blog will be featured in this round robin event. You'll have a chance to win one of over a dozen prizes by simply reading and commenting on the daily blog post.

The Caravan starts tomorrow right here! Simply visit the Luxury Cruise Bible blog each morning to learn about the featured Caravan "stop-of-the-day" between December 2 and 15, and then enter to win.
