    I think I deserve a trip!!! I am 26 years old married with two wonderful children and a stay at home mom. Haha I need a vacation!! This opportunity sounds unbelievable!!

  8. ruhappy59ruhappy5901-30-2013

    I can be packed and ready very quickly. I am still trying to figure out how to enter. Oh my, I hope I don't miss the opportunity. This will be a very pleasant surprise to win such an extensive trip. I haven't been able to get out of Danville, PA for over 15 years. I always wanted to travel somewhere, just once in my lifetime and winning a trip will be the "only" way it will happen for me and I have accepted that, so I continually find sweepstakes to win a trip and enter her often in hopes of one day being pleasantly surprised. I have a good feeling that it will occur and soon. I hope its this one or one to Alaska. I love to fish so where I win a trip to, I hope that I will have the opporutnity to do some fishing elsewhere or beside the Danville, PA Susquehanna River. Take care all and to all who entered, best of luck to each and everyone of you. I know this would be a trip anyone will surely enjoy and Good luck to you. Louise

    A Personal, Thank You, Travel Channel~
    for this adventure and experience to remember for a lifetime.
    What a Dream come true ! Starting off in Venice to relax & enjoy the beauty of the culture, the rich history and life of the Venetians. This is inviting for the spirit to soar with imagination and to relax in the picturesque visuals from the towns to sea, as it laps upon the shoreline. Graciously diving, into the culinary delights that sets the various communities apart. This too, is joyful to the palate inviting to the soul. Oohhh to take the Air Balloon Ride for the birds eye view over the breath-taking historical town-ships roofs with the hint of desire to lightly touch, a roof top is for a first time a joyous adventure and journey… To be given this joy of a life time; daily envelopes my heart to experience this whole heartedly. Again, A Personal, Thank You, Travel Channel for this adventure and experience to remember for a lifetime.
    Deepest Gratitude ~ Shanne Glover

    In viewing for the first time, the photos inside of Hotel Danieli ~ The words of eloquence, luxury, posh truly give insight to describe the magnificent Hotel Danieli. Yes, Oh, I agree ! ~ Viewing the lobby toward the stair case that romantically wraps upward cloaked by the gorgeous deep red carpet. A place, where romance blossoms into a depth of love, one can only imagine. In viewing the photos, In my heart, I wept for the beauty in the architecture and ambiance throughout Hotel Danieli, which is done so eloquently. Only to prove Love designed this magnificent Hotel Danieli.
    To walk through the doors after arriving…The thought takes my breath away….. The experience will be one, of its own. Enveloping my memory for the rest of my life.~

    Our 20- year anniversary was 12/12/12…less than desirable day or week for us… not even time for dinner out. Our week was filled with flu, bronchitis, family diagnosed with Cancer, fender bender, 3 kids with hectic schedules, a job that demands 24:7 for my husband, that horrible massacre in CT., and Christmas shopping to finish and a speeding ticket to boot .This TRIP is obviously the TRIP OF A LIFETIME that we would never be able to afford….Gotta win!…Gotta get away from the madness! Happy BELATED Anniversary dear!!

    Italian food is a gift with-in itself… A treat from A to Z ~ Wine, cheese's & meats that are blessed by the work of a families lifetime and love of the art. Pasta blends that tease ones palate and imagination which take one on a personal journey of their life time…. I've always said: " Food is Fun"…To feast my eyes & gently place on my fork the selected dish of Risoto & Black Truffle ~ The multiple choices of seafood will be a delight to my heart ~ The personal joy of evolving my tastebuds in the marriage of wines, cheeses, meats & breads will be as a waltz I've yet to know the music, as my thoughts are overwhelmed by the inner joy for what I will beable to experience as I am in awe over My " Trip of a Life Time" I stand and am graciously Thankful for this future journey ~ Mrs. Shanne Glover

  25. Shanne GloverShanne Glover02-04-2013

    I'd considered what I might buy while visiting Italy, the Adriactic… I would enjoy visiting & having Murano glass make a pair of wine glasses to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. With those comes a special wine that we'd both find delight in. In Venice visiting the makers of the exquisite masks from the Carnival de Sol. That I may frame the mask, placing the now art on my home wall to reflect daily on this wonderful adventure. Then, enjoy the many culinary delights throughout the Country. OOh, to wrap my tastebuds around caviar from this region of the world ~ Shhhhh, heart be still..~
