Shameless self-promotional pimping alert!
The government of France’s tourist office is running a contest, and you and I can both win. As part of their promotion of tourism to the island of Martinique, they invited bloggers to offer up their “wildest, funniest, or most exciting travel or holiday experience.” I banged out a quick synopsis of some of my 1992 travels in Russia, a story which features me standing in a train wearing nothing but my underwear at 3 in the morning, with a pimply-faced Red Army recruit pushing the tip of his automatic rifle into my chest.
Hmm… what better way to win a trip to a Caribbean island than to discuss travel to Russia in February?…
Click here to stuff the ballot box read my entry. Click on the stars at the top of the entry to cast your ballot.
Giving it five stars is appreciated (hint hint), and voting enters you into a sweepstakes for free Martinique travel of your own. Here’s hoping it’s — literally — win-win.
Other blogger-participants have been pimping their stories for days — even weeks! (How fair is that?!) I was invited to participate late, so I’ve got some catching up to do. And that’s where you come in.
It’s not often that I ask for your help. In fact, when WAS the last time I asked for your help? But I’m asking now.
The terms of the contest are here. The whole array of stories to consider is here. And, as a gentle reminder (cough, cough) my contribution is here. Vote early and often! Just vote by February 28.
And thanks!

Go, Mark, go! I clicked for you. Hope you make it on Martinique’s tab!
