Hong Kong or Bust, Thanks to LastMinuteTravel's 'World for $1'

Warm up your fingers for some fast typing and do some breathing exercises to keep from hyperventilating, because now begins the second and final week of LastMinuteTravel's "World for $1" promotion. Last week saw some serious chatter around the net as to how to best nab these deals, available for a random 15 minutes each day, and it looks like the tip sharing helped as LMT has announced that already almost 1,000 reservations have been made. They've broken down the winnings further on their blog:

Since the beginning of The World for $1 sale, 928 reservations have been made for less than the cost of a movie ticket! And 48% of these reservations were for high-end, luxury hotels! The 2,197 people going on these vacations are headed to 224 different destinations with Orlando, Las Vegas, New York, Cancun and Honolulu topping the list!

That's quite a lot of exclamation marks, but all well-deserved as this is one contest you can actually win. In fact, we're living proof of it. All the stars aligned perfectly for us last week, and we ended up booking 7 nights in a 5-star hotel in Hong Kong. Pairing it with Cathay Pacific's airfare deal, we're amazed and delighted to say that we're doing a week in HK for under $1000, all-in. And we leave today. Good luck with all the clicking, and even though we'll be on another continent in less than 15 hours, we'll still be rooting for you from over there.
