So the latest offer from <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/nh%20hotels">NH Hotels</a> is calling to us.

The NH Hotels Dreams Contest is pretty easy to enter: just describe your dream holiday in 100 words or less. They even say it can be "fantastic or incredible" so fairytale trips to Mars are probably okay, too.
