Tell your travel disaster story and win a $10,000 trip

Does misfortune seem to follow you when you travel? Ever been delayed on the tarmac for 10 hours, arrived to find your luggage was lost, your hotel had burned down, and you'd misplaced your passport? If you've got the mother of all travel disaster stories, Travel Guard insurance wants to hear from you.

On December 1st, they're launching a contest to find the worst travel tale of woe, and the person deemed to be the "World's Unluckiest Traveler" will be awarded a $10,000 dream vacation.

Every month, one winner will be chosen (by votes) to receive a Flip MinoHDTM camcorder. Another winner will be chosen at random from among the people for voted for that story as the worst. Each month's "worst" winner will then be entered to win the fabulous grand prize, a (hopefully disaster-free) trip worth $10,000.

So if your travels have left you broke or beaten down, get your story ready and turn your travel disaster into something positive.
