Win a Birding for Two Stay in Jamaica - 371

Photo by Alan Vernon.If birding has high priority on your travel agenda, I’ve got good news. You can test your knowledge for a chance to win a birding vacation for two at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill in Port Antonio, Jamaica! The hotel is giving away a prize pack for two with four nights at the bed and breakfast, and one day of birding in the area with a local bird guide.

The best part about this trip is that if your better half doesn’t share your enthusiasm for birding he or she will have everything needed for a vacation that is equally enjoyable.  Leisurely walks on the beach or a day reading in the hammock can appeal to those wanting some rest and relaxation. For the more adventurous, multiple hiking trails can be used throughout the area or you might consider a visit to a Blue Mountain Coffee Plantation.

The hotel is located on 6.5 acres of bio-dynamic gardens and surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Caribbean Sea and the Blue Mountains. There are 10 luxurious and tranquil rooms, and guests can feel good about supporting an eco-friendly accommodation which uses solar power and natural air-conditioning. Organic gourmet dining is available featuring fusion cuisine with influences from Europe, Asia, the U.S. and rural Jamaica.

To enter simply test your knowledge of the birds of Jamaica by completing the short quiz provided on the hotel’s website by March 29th, 2010. The winners will be notified by email that day. The prize is valid for a year with blackout dates around the Christmas holiday.  

If the rest of the birds in Jamaica are anything like the Doctor Bird I caught a quick glimpse of on my most recent trip to the island then, trust me, this is one prize you want to win. Head over and take the quiz to enter!
