My last post on my trip to California inspired me to post this image that I took in 1998. I’m running my second ever competition… So if you’d like to win a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate… Then look no further!…

As a thank you present to the original advertiser, this is one of my own favorite images taken in California…

Can you spot the scene? I’ll throw in a $25 Amazon certificate if you can correctly identify the scene, post the answer in your blog and link back to InvestorBlogger dot Com! Don’t forget to contact me through the form to let me know of the entry:

Anyone can play and win…! One blog one entry. Competition closes December on Dec. 24th at 11:59pm! Entries chosen randomly.

Happy X’mas!

(edited: I made a mistake in the amount. It should read $25 not $20… It has been corrected.)

It was January 1998, my wife and I had just moved house to Tienmou in Taipei, and despite everything being a mess, we still decided to take a much delayed (and much needed) honeymoon to Hawaii, San Francisco and Northern California.

I do have some of the pictures I took then, but it’s difficult to find them from those Geocities HomePage days! I’ll be adding a few from those days if I can find them! So when I had a chance today to write this post about San Francisco, I grabbed it!

Trusted Tours and Attractions is the name of the company seeking this ‘buzz’ and, of course, from the name, you can tell it’s a tour company offering quality tours and tickets to attractions in leading cities in the United States of America. Naturally, these packages offer special pricing for visitors.

During our time we took several wonderful trips, some of which are on offer from Trusted Tours and Attractions: including San Francisco City Tour, Napa Valley Wine Tour, San Francisco Museums and Galleries, and the trip to Chinatown.

We managed to pack a lot of excitement into just those six days. We visited the pier, the Golden Gate Bridge, and a bunch of other places that you’d recognize from movies…! I was quite surprised at the time by how many places I already recognised! San Francisco has to be one of the most photographed cities in the world!

As part of the promotion of its service, Trusted Tours and Attractions is announcing a competition for visitors to sign up to their Trusted Travel eNewsletter, and they’ll be giving away an iPod Nano. You have to sign up before December 31st, 2007. I’m already on it myself!

 

BuzzFest #11: AFrogToKiss

We’ve been doing buzzes for quite some time, but the pace of buzzes dropped off… I nearly forgot to buzz AFrogToKiss.net (unless I already did!). This time it’s for a websites not about frogs… but a whole lot of things: Blogging, Shopping Deals, A Blog A Day, and of course, Geeky Stuff.

Given the size and the popularity of her blog, she was wondering if she should move to a private server… I do think it’s a worthwhile move for her. It will provide her with much stability, resources and flexibility should her blog be stumbled or dugg. In fact, she will be able to increase the resources in a few minutes with the solution provided by Dreamhost. So, yes, go ahead. But be aware. It can get more expensive. I’m currently paying about $40 per month for my VPS, but I think the hosting is worth it. Really. I find it comforting that I no longer have to share my host with dozens of other websites.

If you’d like a blogbuzz, like AFrogToKiss’s, then hop on over to Buzz your BlogFest, read the instructions, and sign up today. There are only 18 buzzes to go! I’m happy to say I’m extending the program until I reach 30 buzzes or Christmas comes first! So hurry before I forget!
