I don't post much in response to contests, but this one caught my attention, and at the last minute, too.
Blogher is running a contest for tickets to Blogher and I'd like to go to Chicago as much as I'd like to go somewhere, nearly anywhere I haven't been yet. Plus, as I get more serious about my writing, I'd certainly love to go to Blogher to meet other writers whose work I have read.
The contest asks for us to choose among three FORD vehicles that we'd like to take on a road trip this summer; the Fusion Hybrid, the Ford Flex, or the Escape Hybrid.
After looking at all the specs, I'd have to choose the Ford Flex, because as much as I'd love to be driving a hybrid these days, a vacation with my family requires a bit more space. Typically we use a third row seat to split the boys up when we are on long trips. It keeps the peace. We also have a dog who is so much a part of the family that we take him on vacation unless we are flying.
I once drove a Ford Explorer. It lasted for 10 years, and I loved it. It did not have much in the way of gadgets, nor does the car I currently drive, so when I looked at the list of available technology on the Flex, I was impressed. I particularly like the idea of a built-in refrigeration compartment, that would save us the room a cooler would take up.
So, send me to Blogher, I'm sure there's plenty for my husband and kids to do in Chicago, and we need an excuse for a road trip!
