27.07.2023 - 18:35 / smartertravel.com
Summer is for beaching, unplugging, and getting away. To celebrate our favorite season, we’re launching a photo contest and a sweepstakes on Instagram this July, with plenty of great travel prizes! The details are as follows:
Beach-Themed Photo Contest on InstagramRunning date: Now through July 15th
To enter, simply post your best beach photos to Instagram and tag them #smartertravel (so we can see them) and follow us on Instagram @smartertravel (where you can enjoy more beach pics and scope out the competition).
On July 15, we’ll choose our 10 favorites and post them on SmarterTravel, and then leave it up to you (and your friends, family, and fans) to vote for the winner!
Each of our 10 finalists will get a set of three Instagram-pic-friendly photo frames from Tiny Mighty Frames (prize value: $48) plus a coupon for printing three of your favorite Instagram pics. And one grand prize winner, as voted by our readers, will get a beautiful leather weekender bag (prize value: $350) from Whipping Post.
We’re looking forward to seeing your beautiful, inspiring, funny, and fabulous beach pics. Post as many times as you want on Instagram between Tuesday, June 28, and Friday, July 15. Then get ready to vote for your favorites (sign up for our newsletter below or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to be the first to know when the voting opens) between July 18 and 24.

That’s because there is no baseline to use as a reference point; there is no normal. Or rather, normal is whatever Delta chooses to publish as the price for an award ticket on a particular flight.

America’s Worst Cities for Bedbugs: Is Your Next Hotel Stay in One?
If you’re planning on visiting any of these destinations, you should read up on how to spot bedbugs in your hotel room (and what to do about it).
