Bargain destinations and the cheapest places to travel


Last Week for Passports with Purpose

December 15th, 2009 Posted in Making a difference, Travel gear, contests

Thanks to everyone who chipped in on the Passports with Purpose charity drive to build a school in Cambodia. It took very little time to blow past the original $13K goal, so they doubled it to enable a water purifier, a daily lunch program, and a gardener to grow vegetables for that lunch program.

Remember, if you have drinkable running water in your house, that puts you ahead of the vast majority of children in Cambodia. So donate 10 or 20 bucks and you can really make a difference.

This is a raffle though so you can win some cool prizes that have been donated. My donating sponsor was Tifosi Optics, a company that makes great sunglasses I have used on too many trips to count. They are giving away your choice of frames with Fototech polarized lenses, like the ones below, appropriately named “Envy.”

If that’s not your thing though, there are trips, hotels, gift certificates, travel gear, and lots more. The organizers are even giving you a heads up on which prizes have the best odds of winning based on entries so far.

The deadline is December 21 though, so get on it!
