Home for the Holidays

THIS YEAR’S COMPETITION HAS CONCLUDED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED.

THE WINNING STORY WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON DECEMBER 21.
 

Do you have a great travel story? Send it to us and you could win $300, a lifetime Tablet Plus membership, and a celebrated place in Tablet history.

They say you can’t go home again. Sometimes you might not want to. We all love our families, but we don’t always love going to see them during the holidays — the busiest travel time of the year. Airports are a waking nightmare, highways are jammed with broken heroes, and trains only work outside of the United States.

But we accept the challenge, because there’s nothing quite like family — or like hearing your drunk uncle’s annual airing of grievances. If, like him, you also have an unforgettable story about travel or the holidays, email it to travelstories@tablethotels.com. We’ll pick our favorite, publish it for all to see, and give the winner a lifetime Tablet Plus membership and $300 to use on a Tablet hotel stay.

Stories must be submitted to travelstories@tablethotels.com by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, December 15, 2019. There is no minimum length requirement, but stories should be no longer than 1,000 words. Please remember to include your full name, where you’re from, a story title, and your email address. Must be 18 or older to enter.

Good luck!
