I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...

Is it just me, or are you over the cold and snow already too? As soon as summer goes I start to long for the cold and then the minute it arrives I start to dream of the sun and the sea… Well, Park Inn by Radisson might have just provided the answer to my winter blues: a competition with a prize to spend a week in one of their hotels. There are three choices of hotel and one of them is on the North African island of Djerba off the coast of Tunisia – the hotel is just minutes from the beach. As I sit here wrapped up in about ten layers that sounds mighty inviting!

For the past five winters that the boyf and I have been together we have gone away for a mini break (or longer, if so inclined!). From Madrid to Scotland to New York, everywhere we have been has always been FREEZING. I'm not sure why we have always felt the need to go somewhere even colder than home but we do. This year - as well as dreaming of a trip to the beach and to feel the warmth of the sun on my face - I am dreaming of a wintry trip to the Swedish capital of Stockholm. I want to see for myself the amazing street style (Stockholm Street Style blog) and I want to drink vodka in the Absolut Ice Bar. I would stay at the Radisson Blu hotel in the centre of town. And I would shop at the Swedish womens-wear store: Monki.

Of course, if you too want to enjoy the winter in somewhere other than home, the other two options are the northern city of Manchester – famed for its shopping and nightlife – or the German capital, Berlin – also famed for its nightlife, as well as having some good shopping and history to boot.

 

Entering couldn’t be easier, all you have to do is visit the competition site and play a hotel-themed version of that old game, Connect 4: “4 keys in a row”. Believe me, it’s not hard but if you do find yourself struggling, the good news is that you can enter the competition whether you win or lose!

Two winners weekly receive of an iPad and a £250 voucher (respectively) for Park Inn Hotels, which can be used at over 200 hotels in 16 countries (also valid in Radisson Blu and Hotel Missoni, and includes the UK), and can be used at the restaurant, bar, or simply on your room.

Each participant will also be entered into a final draw for one week's stay at Park Inn Manchester, Park Inn Berlin, or Park Inn Ulysse Resort (in Djerba, Tunisia) plus a £300 giftcard.

The competition is open to residents of the UK, Switzerland, Austria and Germany who are 18 years and over. The competition is open until 18 November 2010. See here for further terms and conditions.

Now, just off to dream of a White Christmas... Are you planning a winter break? If so, tell me about it? Where are you going? What will you be doing?
