Florida Vacation Auction™ Celebrates 1,000 Auctions!

Travelers Take Advantage of Saving Up to 80% on a Florida Vacation

FORT MYERS, Fla.  (March 30, 2008) – Florida Vacation Auction reached a monumental milestone recently when the vacation planning Web site awarded its 1,000th auction package to a lucky winner.

For two years now, site users have been saving up to 80% on Florida vacations and have won packages ranging from family vacations to Super Bowl XLI tickets to beach wedding ceremonies.  This month, there is even an auction for surf lessons.

The big winner of the 1,000th auction on FloridaVacationAuction.com was South Florida's Willy Montiel, who won attraction tickets to Gatorland, in Orlando.  Montiel, who has been using the site since its inception, has won numerous auctions including resorts stays and attraction tickets throughout the state.  In addition to the savings, he's taken advantage of the credits earned from referring a friend.

"The site is really convenient and easy to use," Montiel explained.  "You put in your bid and if you win, you know you are getting the best price.  I don't have to spend a lot of time shopping around, making phone calls or visiting dozens of sites to compare rates."
