This week, I’m recommending Voyage.tv, mainly because I’m super excited about this promotion they’re doing called “Tweet Your Trip.” It is worth checking out regardless of the contest though, if only to watch the videos of luxury hotels and drool. I love the idea of having video on a travel site. If a picture says a thousand words, then a video is worth . . .  well, a lot more.

To enter Voyage.tv’s “Tweet Your Trip” promotion, all you have to do is follow @voyagetv on Twitter, then describe your dream vacation in 140 characters or less for the chance to win it. Each week through the end of October, they will pick a new winner. My favorite entries last week were:

sfpeach @voyagetv Curacao’s bright hues beckon me in striped clothes, on a red bike, by the turquoise sea and white beach. My straw hat blows away.

K_Gut @voyagetv I want some sushi, sake, and sashimi. So, to Japan, let’s go. From SFO to T-O-K-Y-O. And, an ichi-ban hotel for 2. BTW, thank you

And, of course, my own entry:

WanderTot @voyagetv Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street … a trip for 3 to Beaches in Turks & Caicos would be so suite!

The winning entry was:

cheapestairfare @voyagetv Oh No I/Have Not Seen Moai/On Easter Island’s/Grassy Highlands/Nor Wild Horse Scurry/Near Unseen Quarry/LAN 767/To Island Heaven

What’s your dream trip? Tweet it and it may no longer be just a dream.

Each week, I will feature a useful travel website or blog worth checking out. This week, I’m recommending Disney’s family travel site. You would think their advice would be limited to all things Disney, but they have tons of great vacation ideas that are completely unrelated. You can search by vacations for babies, toddlers, school-age kids and pre-teens. They have family travel ideas, attractions, tips and more. Their pre-trip ideas are great; for example, if you’re traveling to London, they suggest making scones; watching Peter Pan, Mary Poppins and Harry Potter; and reading Oliver Twist and Madeline in London.
