Join the bidding through Nov. 20 for SATW travel auction

There’s still time to catch the final days of the Society of American Travel Writers’ annual online travel auction, with travel packages valued at $65,000 up for grabs.

Through Sunday (Nov. 20), you can bid on more than five dozen packages, from Arizona and Bermuda to Costa Rica and Dubai. Or, try for a dream experience such as golfing at the legendary St. Andrews in Scotland or mingling with jet-setters at the Fairmont Monte Carlo.

If those don’t grab you, getaways to Lake Tahoe, Colorado, Quebec, New Orleans and even a Nile River cruise are also on the auction block here

The money raised goes to professional development programs for SATW, an organization I’ve belonged to since 1985, along with about 1,300 other professional travel writers and tourism industry representatives in the U.S. and Canada.
