Need a #Winterruption? Yeah, I Thought So.

So here’s the deal. Canada is known for a lot of things, including its long… cold… depressing… WINTER.

Now please don’t tell me about national pride and hockey, beaver tails and snow shoes. I hear you, but I’m not listening. Because my brain is frozen. Frozen by Canadian winter.

I guess you could say I need a #Winterruption.

Dreaming of sand between your toes? Longing for a beach vacay, where the drinks come with tiny umbrellas and the natives don’t speak the language? Then, friends, you need to join the long-awaited @TravelocityCA #Winterruption Twitter Party, tonight at 7pm EST. Bring the sunscreen, friends.

It’s the start of a brand new year! And so far it’s going… icily. Yes, we’re Canadians and we’re built to withstand the cold, but we’ve had our fill for the season, wouldn’t you say? You’ve done enough shoveling, de-icing and putting on seven layers anytime you want to leave the house. It’s time for a #Winterruption!

Let’s turn our heads to sunnier, more relaxing activities, shall we? We’ll talk about getting away from all this winter madness and parking our behinds on a beach (or ski hill, if that’s your thing).

Oh, and prizes. We’re giving away $1,500 in travel vouchers you can put towards your own Winterruption. There are ten (10) prizes in total in the following denominations: Three (3) prizes of $50 CAD Travelocity.ca credit, four (4) prizes of $100 CAD Travelocity.ca credit, one (1) prize of $200 CAD Travelocity.ca credit, one (1) prize of $250 CAD Travelocity.ca credit, and one (1) $500 CAD Travelocity.ca credit. HUZZAH!

Pop on over to www.travelocity.ca/party to RSVP for tonight’s epic event. As for me? Well, I’m pretty sure that Travelocity.ca feels my pain. Hence, they created the following graphic to honour my lack of wanderlustness.

Hands up if you can use a Winterruption! See you tonight – and good luck to all the tweeters!
