I had the best time going to all the blogs on the hop! Everyone picked awesome places and shared great stories and photos. It seems many of us want to see a castle, visit one, stay in one, or have one for our very own (me, me, me!!). And some of you picked the same place and are kindred spirits.

This is so exciting - I am a winner and a donor! You had some job tallying up the destinations… this was such a great hop, thanks for letting me participate!
Nice choices. There are so many wonderful places to visit, I do not know if I can settle on just one.
It was a really fun blog hop. Saw so many interesting places I want to visit now. Congrats to both you and Julie on your novels. Wishing you much success. :)
Oh my! Look at all the goodies. My coffee is beginning to taste better. And very few things can improve the yumminess of hot, sweet French vanilla coffee. Thanks sooo much for hosting and for the tales about to come my way ;-)
Congratulations to the winners!
My schedule has been so erratic lately that I did not sign up for the blog-fest, but I did enjoy reading the posts that I managed to get to.

What a fantastic time with so many cool places and prizes!! You should be really proud of yourself, Lexa. This was a great hop!!!
You ladies rocked blogland with this one. I admit, I didn't know how much fun it would be. (When I first read about it, I thought I'd get depressed about all the places I'll likely never be able to travel to.) Instead, it was a blast. And I'm hopeful I'll make it to some of those destinations. At least, I can always get to fantasy isle.
Thanks so much, and for the unique pick shoutout, Lexa and Julie. You're both wonderful.

Thanks for the fun, Lexa and Julie. I met a lot of nice bloggers and saw some beautiful places. And I won an ebook. Yay! Looking forward to reading it. Best of luck with your novels, ladies.
Congrats to the winners. I'm glad I made it as a unique pick and that there's a winner for my book.
