Let's paint a little picture of Milwaukee's winter. It's cold, grey and dark. It's only a matter of months before we're shoveling snow and bundling up for below zero temperatures.
Keep that in mind as you head to your computer and start planning for some hot Orlando sun by writing a brilliant blog this weekend telling us why you deserve free airline tickets.
As part of the Free Recession Buster Getaway Contest series, presented by OnMilwaukee.com and AirTran Airways, we're offering up a chance for one of you to win a free trip to Orlando as well as netbook on which to document your travels.
Whether you're hoping to take the family to Disney World, swing golf clubs on the course or relax in the Florida sun, get to your computer and start blogging this weekend.
The contest ends Sunday at 11:59 p.m., and our editorial staff will pick the winner next week. Here's a recap of my sun-soaked and fun filled weekend in Orlando last month.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
