Some of the items up for grabs include hotel stays at The Benjamin, InterContinental Paris Le Grand, JW Marriott Khao Lak, Corinthia Hotel Prague, Rome Cavalieri, Westin Resort & Casino, Aruba and Bandon Dunes. Flights around the world are available on airlines such as Asiana Airlines, China Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, Swiss International Air Lines, TAM, Turkish Airlines and TAP Portugal. And, the best part is these items are available for below the true value. Grab some travel steals while benefitting a very worthwhile cause. LLS holds a special place in my heart, as I’ve had several family members and friends suffer from lymphoma. Thanks to the work of the organization, they are all surviving and thriving today. In addition to being involved with LLS through Global Traveler’s annual auction, I also worked with them through Team in Training as both a participant and mentor. TNT trains participants to run half- and full marathons, bike in races or compete in triathlons while the participants raise money for the charity. Through TNT, I’ve made lifelong friends, and the entire experience was extremely worthwhile. The May 1 end of the auction coincides with the one-year anniversary of my first half-marathon as a TNT participant! — Kim Krol, managing editor
