How to enter this competition

To enter you need to go to Facebook  and then search for the Lonely Planet Group. 
You then need to tell us about a dream trip you'd like to take in 500 words or less. 

Where would you go?  What would you see?  What would you eat...who would you like to meet?

Post your story in the discussion thread - THE BIG TRIP - and then check back on the 20th of October to see if you've won!  If you're the winner you'll need to accept your prize within five days of being notified. 

Yes, it's free to enter, you don't need to be a professional writer and you needn't have travelled...winning this comp could perhaps be your big trip ticket!

All that boring stuff...
Actually we've decided against boring you with competition terms and conditions, instead we'll direct you through to the Lonely Planet Facebook group where you can read all about them, there
