Title: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: april3577317 on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 01:02:29 am My husband won the channel Ten Wolfman competition, a lady rang today said they had over thirty thousand entries :shock: , still can't believe we won. First major win. I would like to get your opinions, do you think they would allow us to take our son who is around two years old if we cover his expenses otherwise he will have to stay with his grandmother, the trip is for 4 days.
Thanks to everyone who post comps, this is a great site. :D Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: c2304l on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 01:08:17 am Congratulations to you and your husband! :D
Hope you have a fabulous trip, safe travels! Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: h0pez on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 02:28:58 am Congratulations april (and hubby lol)
I'd check with the travel agent organising the prize - I'm pretty sure I've heard that sometimes they'll allow you to pay the extra for children (when I won a trip to Byron Bay I enquired about doing that and they said that would be fine - ended up leaving her with aunty so we could have a naughty long weekend away LOL) Enjoy your trip!!! :D Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Sharonf on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 07:16:43 am What an amazing win April, have an great time!

Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: sandybottoms on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 07:52:54 am Congratulations! I'd be also seeing if I could extend the trip, 4 days isn't long enough really. Have a good trip whatever you decide. Would love to know if his winning entry was on SMS or online.

I'd be also seeing if I could extend the trip, 4 days isn't long enough really. Have a good trip whatever you decide. Would love to know if his winning entry was on SMS or online. It was a online entry, we did not enter any SMS entries. I agree with you, I would like to extend the trip. Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: wattle on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:06:52 am Congratulations April, a dream prize thats for sure, hope you get to extend the holiday and take your little one with you. :D
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: feezfun on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:07:41 am As an ex-travel agent. I would presume that the more you want to spend, the happier the travel agent will be. Of course, there are limitations, such as available seats etc. The ticket to Europe won't be limited to a 4 day stay and you may want to enquire if there are any cheap or free side trips or stopovers attached to the airfare. My suggestion is to ask for everything you want and see what you get. The promoter is unlikely to be involved once the travel agent takes over. I could be wrong :D Cheers
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Arran on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:22:34 am Wow! It's great to hear of someone winning a trip like. Inspiring!
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: powerette on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:24:34 am Congratulations to you all - have an amazing time!
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Ruffles on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:42:16 am Fantastic win!!!
A lot of people will say 'it's a long way to go for 4 days' however we did a 3 nighter in France last year and we just had the best time! It is amazing what you can fit into a short time. In saying this we left the kids home with grandparents. If you take your young one you may need longer to adjust. Either way have a fab time! Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: sash76 on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 09:47:38 am congratulations april and hubby, thats a totally awesome win :) (just make sure you take your thermal undies!!!)

Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: kazzar on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 10:51:21 am Congratulations - that's awesome. I love it when people on here win - it's kind of like my family winning :-)
I won a trip years ago and they let me extend it a little to see family who live in Melbourne (that's where the trip was), they just paid what the prize provided - airfare, specified accomodation etc. So hopefully they'll let you do the same! Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: tyeboy on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 10:52:41 am Nice work! Thats a great prize. Out of 30,000 entries too! WOW!
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Shay on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 11:09:22 am Congrats! Wow! 18 months ago we won a 8 day trip to Italy. Free2travel was the agent and they were great. They told me that they handle all the competition travel. We asked if we could add on a side trip to Scotland, because I have my family there, and it was no trouble. We paid the extra travel only and added 16 extra days to the trip as well. They allowed us to take our children as well, however we decided not to in the end as it got too pricey. They are very flexible, and nothing was too much trouble. We spent 3 days in London as well and it just wasn't long enough. :D

Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: suzta on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 03:56:52 pm Congratulations! That's a great win.
Whether you can take the kiddies will depend on the promoter. There's no harm in asking. I won a 5-day holiday to England a few years back. I had neither the leave or the money to extend the trip. A lot of people said to me that it was a long way to travel to only be there five days. However, it was a good holiday and long enough to have a good look at London. We even took the Eurostar to Paris for one afternoon. I'd definitely recommend checking out Paris or taking side trips while you're over there since airfares are cheap. I'm sure you'll have a good time. If you have the money to extend the trip then that would be worth doing, if not I'll sure you'll have fun in the time you have available. Enjoy! Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: feline1981 on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 05:46:36 pm Congrats! That is one nice catch! Enjoy every minute and don't forget the camera!
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Luck_E_Unicorn on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 06:06:53 pm Congrats! That's a fantastic win :) I agree with suzta, if you want to take your 2yo you might as well ask and see what happens. Well done :)
Title: Re: My Husband won a trip to England Post by: Marfs on Tuesday 09 February 2010, 06:53:32 pm Big congrats ! What an amazing win! Try to take your 2 year old and arrange to catch the Eurostar directly across to Paris Disneyland. We did that with my son when he was 2 and he had a fantastic time! Enjoy yourself whatver you decide to do.
