I also spent all of last week offline, almost entirely. I checked my messages, but only replied to the urgent ones. So now I'm playing catch-up. Again. If you left me a question or comment somewhere, check back in the next couple of days for an answer. Unless you emailed it to me, in which case it'll take longer. I'm much faster on Twitter, Facebook, and Formspring.
I didn't intend for my vacation to go unannounced, but my deadline overlapped with my trip, and I wound up working for all of the drive and part of my time at my dad's house. Also, I didn't have time to mail last week's prizes or end last week's International Editions Giveaway, so I'm allowing all entries up to today. And now we have a winner!
Jay, who wrote: Id say English is my second language too but its the only thing i speak because i really suck at my mother-tongue :)
Also, Vida never claimed her prize from last week, so I'm drawing a second name from this week's entries. The replacement winner is:
Emmy Landeros, who wrote: English is my first language with Spanish being my second. I speak French near fluently and I'm learning Italian.
Jay and Emmy, please email me (rachelATrachelvincentDOTcom) with your selection from the prizes listed below. For a look at the foreign covers, click here. (Note: not all of those editions shown are in this giveaway.)
To enter this week's foreign edition giveaway, leave me a comment telling me where you went for your most recent vacation, or where you'd like to go, if you could go anywhere in the world. (I've always wanted to see Scotland and Venice!) One comment will be chosen at random and the winner will be announced on Monday. You must check into see if you've won and claim your prize, or I will redraw a winner next week.

i went to hugharda :) i'd love to visit ireland though; such yummy accents
My most recent holiday was actually at home. Or rather, another part of the UK. I went on a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads with my family and some family from Denmark. Hired out a boat and chose where we wanted to go. Was really nice, got a fair bit of reading done.
I will be going to Spain for the first time in June. Otherwise, the place I'd most like to go is probably Ireland. There are a lot of hot places I'd like to go to, but Ireland sounds so beautiful and mythic. And I love the accent! I want to gooo!
My most recent vacation was to Montreal. Mmmm....beer and poutine. My tummy misses it.

Last summer my family and I took our first family vacay in over a decade! We ended up going to Italy and Paris. It was probably the best time of my entire life... And no lie, I took all of my Shifter books with me and reread them on all of our different flights and train rides. I think that I was able to get through the first three during the trip! ;)

I went to the Smokey Mount. In TN. It was beautiful!
My most recent holiday was in Luxemburg, the city is pretty and pretty expensive. I would love to visit New York. And Egypt. And Australia. And I want to revisit Barcelona and London. If only I had the money to travel...
My most recent vacation was hectic! We flew from california to snowy Indiana to visit family then back to a different part of California for a supernatural convention. Lots of fun all around, but afterwards I wanted a week just to rest after it all. I think for the next vacation I wanna go somewhere warm where someone brings me cold drinks on the beach!
For my last vacation I took a trip to Timmins and Sudbury, Ontario. It was a car trip with my mom and we had a blast. If I could go anywhere though I'd like to go to New York or Vancouver.
My last vacation was to another Caribbean island (Tobago). I loved spending my days at the beach, so very peaceful!

My last holiday was a couple of days down in Wicklow (Southern Ireland) to visit my Granny and other family. I'd love to go to Italy, Jordan (where I was born) or to America to attent a book convention and meet some of my favourite authors as most international authors don't visit Northern Ireland for signings and book tours :-( I'd love to attend a signing in America!
I'd love to visit someday Casablanca:)
My most recent holiday was in the Lake District in northern England (which is stunning) but would love to go abroad again, has been too long! Would love to go to Morocco or Indonesia... Some where with a really fab beach! (UK is very rainy at the moment!)
I would love to go to Spain or Ireland or anywhere else beautiful! My last vacation was my honeymoon three years ago!
My most recent holiday was to California to visit my friends (travelled from UK) I would love to go there again, or if not then somewhere where there was lots of snow...i love snow :D
I haven't really been on a vacation recently. I tend to go out of state a lot for concerts. But I would love to see Italy one day. Actually, if I could just tour europe that would be even better. Venice is on my to do list. Greece would be lovely as well. And I swear I want to see the pyramids before I die. There's a lot I have to do. And, who doesn't want to see Figi?

I'd love to go all around Europe!
Hopefully this summer I'll be studying abroad in Italy =D *crosses fingers*
I've been traveling quite a bit lately for work and family stuff -- Santa Fe, Toronto, Phoenix -- but none of that counts as a vacation. So, the No. 1 place I want to visit is the Greek Isles. Beautiful and historic. How could that not be fantastic?
Where don't I want to go should be the question. I want to go to Europe, Hawaii, New York, California, Australia, Aisa, Massachusetts, and South Africa.

My last vacation was going to the beach at my city. Alas, the wind is going strong, we can't enjoy the vacation.
I would love to go to Ireland, the land of myth and ethereal beauty , maybe it's because I love Celtic myth :). The second place is Egypt, I want to see pyramid! ^^
And Rachel, you can travel to Indonesia too, we have so many beautiful place here, not just at Bali. ^^

Today, I would say that I'd go somewhere warm, because it's been cold here for months, and a few hours ago I got my first taster in ages of what it was like to feel warm. I want more!
I just visited Toronto (Canada) in december, and i would love to travel to Rome :)
Love from Norway

Ireland, due to having memories of living there in one of my past lives and I miss the place my heart calls home.
The Answer is where wouldn't I want to go? First pick I guess would be Ireland.
Being a stay at home mom I know these are places I will only visit in books.
I'd love to vacation in Australia.
I go to college in Connecticut, and for spring break, I went back home to Houston. I'll be graduating in May, and I'm planning to go to Disney World with a couple of friends the week before graduation. Other places I really want to go: New Zealand, Ireland, South America, Singapore, and Thailand.
I went for a day trip to France and Belgium last summer, with my friends and family, that was fun.
I wish to go to New Zealand to see my friend. And travel all around America. Plus the Greek Islands sound gorgeous.
We'd love to go to Ireland for vacation but we always end up at Ocean City MD. We'd also love to take our daughter, and soon to be born son, to Disney World but figuring out the timing and cost (eek!) of getting there just seems impossible. One day though!
Denver was my last vacation spot, lol.
My last holiday was in Spain, and I would love to go on a J1 visa to North America in the future for a working holiday.

My last vacation was to France, not into Paris, but to a lovely town called Bourges.
I've always wanted to go to Greece on vacation something to do with my fascination with greek mythology.
I recently went to Corpus Cristi, TX. I'd also like to go to Madrid.
There are one of two places that I am dying to go. They are Hawaii and Europe. I want to go to Hawaii, because a friend of mine lives there and I would love to go visit her. And I want to see all of Europe... I haven't exactly figured out a time frame in which I am going to accomplish this feat.
I don't really get to go anywhere on vacations but I have always wanted to visit Wales.
Oooh congrats everyone!
If I were able to go anywhere in the world, I would love to go to Hong Kong. Both of my parents are from Hong Kong but I've never been there. It would be amazint to go!

I'd love to go to Spain! I've been studying their language for years now and I'd love to get to be in that country, being able to communicate with people. I love their culture. I actually want to witness a bullfight. Well, not so near, of course.
Thanks!

I would defenetly go to France the state where people fall in love.
Chili because I want to eat chili in chili.
I'd travel the world just for the fun of it.
I would go to Spain beause it has been my life long dream.
I think Italy would be wonderful. Hmmm just think of the yummy food. Most recent vacation was to Hamilton Island. And that was 5 years ago. Must be nearly time for another vacation I think.
my last vacation was to Cornwall, England in September. it was lovely. :) i'd love to see Rome and Venice, though! :)
My last vacation was my honeymoon to Saugatuck, Michigan last July. :)
I would like to go to Pompeii, in Italy or to Mycenae in Greece to discover concretely these Ancient towns because I've studied them a little and I want to know more about them.
An Antiquity fan.
On my most recent vacation my family went to New York! The food was great as were the people. We went behind the scenes of the today show, which was awesome! We met ex-president Bush's daughter, Jenna, who was very nice.... One place I'd love to visit is Italy. I've heard its beautiful and the *food* (see the pattern) is amazing. I would really love to see the City of Pompeii and Venice.
My most recent trip was my grad trip to Europe. I hit Switzerland, France, Italy, Greece and London. But I'm dying to go to Spain!
My last holiday was over Christmas and the family and I all went over to Bali for 2 weeks.
I'd love to go to Ireland or Canada one day though!
It has been a while since my last vacation, but I believe I went to Florida. It was spring so the water was clear and beautiful.

During the summer, I went to Hawaii, more specifically Waikiki/Honolulu, Oahu. Somewhere I would like to go now is actually taking a road trip to the other 49 states.
This past Christmas I went on acation to Mexio :) its pretty much the only other country I've been to. But, if life allows, I'd love to go to Egypt, Italy, Greece, and England.
My most recent vacation was a trip to New Jersey to see some friends for a few days. I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Scotland though, that's my all time favorite destination spot!
My most recent vacation was to Las Vegas. It was entertaining to walk through The Strip and visit some of the hotels. I have to say though, that the most striking thing about the trip was the heat! I'm not used to dry heat, so it was a bit of pain to walk through town without sunblock, water and good chapstick. I enjoyed it.
As for a place I'd love to visit, it would have to be Egypt; I've always been in love with its ancient culture, the pyramids, the temples...its history in general. But with all that has happened now, I guess I have to wait a few years :)
I would love to go and travel England and Scotland. But I also would like to travel to Australia. There are so many beautiful amazing places i would like to go. And it would be more than 1000 places to see or go before you die. ~ Kat
I want to visit Paris so badly! I study French, so I think it'd be a great cultural lesson, plus I'd love to see all the historical sites.
I'd love to go to Paris or London. I'm seriously obsessed with UK in general but London is my main interest.
I've literally just got back from my vacation in Australia. I've always wanted to go there and I'm so glad I did because I got to try out so many new and exciting things. I rode the sand dunes, tried roller-coasters and even caught a fish! It was amazing! :D
My husbAnd planned a last minute getaway to Michigan for a long weekend. My sited and her family came as well. We rented a cabin at yogi bear national park and had a blast.
If I could go anywhere for vacation right now I would not hesitate to get on a plane to Italy. It is beyond gorgeous and I hear the food is die to for and I'm in love with the Italian culture :)
I haven't taken a real vacation in ages. I would love to go to Sweden to watch the midnight sun. I hear it's amazing.
I'd love to go to soo many places - Ireland is top on the list!
P.S.: Not sure if this giveaway is internationaal, if so, please count me in !
I recently went for my brother's Passing Out Parade. He's in the navy.
I would love to go to Scotland. I read so many historical romances and most of them are based in Scotland or Ireland or England. I've fallen in love with that place.

I haven't been anywhere much,
but I would love to visit the Harry Potter themed park. Then hang out drinking Butterbeer all day!
:)

On my most recent vacation I went to Hong Kong and Singapore. I shopped like crazy, went sight-seeing, went to 2 theme parks and took lots of pictures. It was pretty hectic because I would leave the hotel at 10 and return back full of shopping bags at 11pm+. Tiring but loads of fun!
Although, I'd love to go France, Italy, USA, Japan and England one day.
Well...my last vacation might have actually been RT 2010 when I went to Columbus, Ohio!! Second best trip I ever took!!! First was my overseas spring break back in 06 when I went to Greece and Italy. Nothing can really top that, that's in its own category practically!!
But RT 10, definitely the BEST trip ever! Only wish I could go this year. Trying for next year though!
I'm actually going up to Sydney (AUS) the day after tomorrow but i would LOVE to go to London one day (along with a million other places :P) x
I will be going to Ireland in October. I can't wait, I hear it's beautiful. I'm trying to get everyone to stay an extra week with me to head over to London and Scotland, but it doesn't look likely.
I would love to go to Australia and New Zealand.
I want to go to either Bora Bora (site of South Pacific), or Egypt. There are numerous other places, but those are top on my list to go see with my airline miles I've racked up over the years, to use once my last child leaves home (1 1/2 years). I did do a dig in Israel in 1976, but if you went there, Egypt was closed to Americans. And I spent much of my nerdy youth studying Egyptian history.
wow! I'd like to go to egypt or something not so far away might be England!!! it has my ideal weather all the year^^
I would love to go to Antarctica to see the "Aurora Australis" & the Polar Bears.
We always go to Turkey (Im from there) and we sometimes go to Germany top visit my aunt. I would love to go to China, Italy and Australia.
I don't remember my last vacation :P but fortunately next month I will be going to Disneyland :)
I would LOVE to take a year off and visit Europe/Asia!!
It's been a while since the last time I went on vacation but next week I'm going to Bologna children book fair here in Italy and I am very excited about it
I would love to go to Italy or Greece. I hope when my son is older I can take him to both.
My most recent vacation was to New Zealand, we were lucky enough to travel both islands and loved it! Its a beautiful country!
Technically my most recent vacation was to Arizona. We went to help out my grandparents but it was fun nonetheless. I would really like to either go to Ireland, Hungary, or Italy. I've been to England, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland so seeing Italy, Hungary, or Ireland would be the icing on the top! Thank you for the opportunity!
On my last vacation I went to Santiago, Chile. I really loved it there and it was fabulous to listen and learn a foreign language.
I would looove to go to Rome! Or anywhere in Europe! Heck, make it a Europe vacation!!
I'm well over due for a vacation! I'd love to go to Ireland!
Recently, I went on vacation to Florida, but I'd love to go somewhere else, a place like France.
I hate travelling. period. My idea of a great vacation is a Staycation: stay at home curled up in bed reading! I can & will happily do that for days on end.
I went on a massive 2 month holiday to India. It was absolutely amazing!!! I loved it :)
~ Serena
I went on a cruise. We went to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and the Grande Turks. Had a great time sea, and hanging out with the family.

I went to Belgium for the Chirstmas holidays this year. Anywhere in western Europe is good as far as I'm concerned, but I'd love to go to Greece someday.
I went to New Zealand in November, including Christchurch, between the two earthquakes. It was an amazing vacation and such a beautiful country. My heart went out to all those who lost someone in the tragic earthquake earlier this year.
Last vacation was really a working vacation, driving from New York City to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a film shoot. That was quite and adventure.
As for dream vacation, I've had my trip to Romania planned since high school, hitting all the real and fictional elements of Vlad the Impaler.
My last holiday was to Bali with my 5 year old, we both loved it the people are beautiful i've never met a more friendly or loving race. I would love to vist Greece on my next adventure
I went skiing in the French Alps during my most recent vacation, snow, sun and sore muscles.
So want to go to Europe! I mean it just has all the fantastic art musuems and everything!
I just went to Paris for three amazing days two weeks ago. Best crepes, macaron and ice cream (I know, not Italian, I was surprised too).
I'm going to Egypt in May! So exciting!
Well, I'll to Greece in September. Will be so good. :}

My last international trip was to Hong Kong and mainland China. I especially loved Hong Kong - so beautiful!
Last spring, I went to Mexico for a week (it was beautiful and they had the best food!).
But if I could go anywhere in the world, I wouldn't go to a beachy place like my family prefers, but one with amazing landmarks and tourist attractions like Paris or Greece. I agree with you about Venice though! I've always wanted to ride down the canal and walk the Italian streets! :)

Last week I went to Buenos Aires, in Argentina! Beautiful city
We went to Myrtle Beach for our last vacation. We'd been there five timese total. Personally, I'd like to go see mountains, or the Grand Canyon.
My last memorable and big giveaway was last January when I went To thailand for 2 weeks, it was AMAZING! We saw such beautiful sights, the people were all so friendly and the food was delicious. Fantastic trip, can't wait for my next exotic trip :-)
