For the past 2 weeks you’ve had a chance to read over the Sexiest Summer Travel Story contest entries. Now is your chance to decide who had the sexiest story for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.

You can review the entries - Brazilian Cabaret, Casual Parisian Encounter, Bellagio Italy, Making Out Chilean Style, and Luggage Vibrations - then vote for what you think is the sexiest one.

The poll will be open through August 1, 2008 and I’ll announce the winner on September 1, 2008. I’m already planning a photo contest to run during the fall/winter season. To get details you can sign up to my RSS feed, or receive daily email updates.

Since this website may be new to you, I’d like to introduce you to foXnoMad. Visit my about page, see the places I’ve been, or read my most popular post on the best places to travel on a weak dollar.

Thank you for following the contest and participating, I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I’ll return to regular posting next Monday with advice on my recent staycation.

This is the final entry of the Sexiest Story Contest. This one from Frederika Alpert, an international journalist and author. Readers sent in their best advice and adventures for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.

Hi, I’m an international journalist who has done a lot of travel. I’m too lazy now to write up anything but you give me the opportunity to give you my best jet-lag travel advice. I have often thought I should apprise Frommer or NY TImes readers of this tried and true method. Nothing works better than masturbation–preferably with a great vibrator–when in Asia and waking up every hour on the hour.

It was summer of 98′ and my cousin and I were visiting my older brother in Santiago de Chile. He was going to college there and at the time he was a freshman and I was a 17 year old junior in high school.

It was our first weekend in town and as hormonal teenagers all we wanted to do was start drinking and partying. We started drinking early in the night and then proceeded to go out to find the best place to party.

This is the third of five Sexiest Story Contest entries. This one from Daryl, who has no website to promote but would like your vote. Readers sent in their best advice and adventures for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.

There is something truly sensual about Bellagio, Italy. One of 6 towns situated around beautiful Lake Como, Bellagio is truly a living postcard. With its gorgeous architecture, landscaped gardens, and location on the lake, every view is simply breathtaking. Lake Como is an amazing deep blue framed by homes on the shoreline and amazing villas built into the sloping hills.

This is the second of five Sexiest Story Contest entries, this one from Luis. Readers sent in their best advice and adventures for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.

One lovely evening after a few drinks with some friends, I was walking to the metro with my friend Mathias. On our way we passed a bar called the ‘Sans G’ne‘ where I noticed that an attractive young lady was looking at me. I felt compelled to speak to her, so I turned around said bye to Mathias and made my way to the bar.

I walked in and sat at the bar, where a very friendly bartender asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered a beer and as he handed it to me he asked do you like boys or girls?

This is the first of five Sexiest Story Contest entries, this one from Erickson. Readers sent in their best advice and adventures for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.

Summer 2006. Rio de Janeiro. This was my 1^st trip outside the United States ever. 17 days of sun, sand, and or course, Brazilian women. I stayed with a friend of a friend (at the time) named Adrianna, who turned out to be one of the sweetest people I know! During my visit, Adri was attending a university and had lots of really cool classmates from all over the world. The first time I’d met most of them was a night we’d decided to go to a place called ‘Cabaret’ (if I remember correctly).

As we got to Cabaret we also noticed a very long line. Since we didn’t want to wait, Ingunn, who is this very Norwegian girl (tall, blond, blue eyes), took it upon herself to go and do something about it. Three minutes later, she comes back and tells everyone, Ok, come on. Let’s go. And we all just walked right in.

Yesterday marked the 2 year anniversary of this site so I thought I’d take you down memory lane for the day. Most of you are new readers who jumped on along the way and visit foxnomad for tips on traveling smarter - but didn’t start out that way.

In The Beginning

About this time in 2006 my group of friends began to move out across the world. We wanted a good way to keep in touch and came to the conclusion that a collective blog would be a good way to hear about each others adventures. This blog started out as aop1980.com and had several authors.

All Over The Place

Initially, the 6 authors (including myself) wrote on a regular basis about anything and everything. My first post ever was about my mandatory military service. Other posts ranged from Michael Jackson to dirty French words. There was no real focus and eventually the authors began to lose their enthusiasm for writing and I was the only one left.

Two years ago today foXnoMad was born from its jumbled predecessor shifting and evolving into the travel blog you see before you. Tomorrow I’ll give you a history of where the site came from, where it is now, and the direction I plan to take it.

Until then, I’m going to give my typing fingers a rest, kick my feet up, and maybe take a few birthday shots later tonight. Here are some of the most popular posts of the last year.

• The Best Places To Travel On A Weak Dollar
• The Best iPod Touch and iPhone Hacks For Travelers
• The Top 12 Applications That Fit On A USB Drive For Travelers

I’d also like to thank all my readers, family, and friends who read, leave comments, and send ideas (and grammar corrections) my way. And a special thanks to my wife for putting up with my many hours in front of the laptop? - writing posts, making code corrections, and responding to emails - all of which have improved because of your support and input.
