IT was recently browsing National Geographic Traveler’sfree cities index, with hundreds of listings on how to spend your down time without spending a dime. What we were surprised to discover, is that many cities—and the more expensive ones at that—offer free tours by local guides.

Want to see Pacific Heights’ mansions? The Coit Tower murals? How about “bawdy and naughty” sites? San Francisco’s City Guides offers a wealth of themed tours—more than 70—that encompass the city’s rich cultural history.

With Halloween around the bend, we’ve got candy on the brain. And while the National Confectioners Association has released its list of the top ten candy destinations in the country (Hershey, Pennsylvania, predictably tops the list), we opted instead to get in touch with Steve Almond, author of Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America. Almond (yes, that’s really his name) has traveled the country in search of old fashioned, mom-and-pop candy factories. His book is a gooey paean to a time when you could waltz into the drugstore and buy, for mere pennies, delicacies like the Twin Bing, Idaho Spud, Valomilk and Abba-Zaba. We recently caught up with Almond, on tour for his latest book, to ask him a burning question: What’s the farthest you’ve ever traveled for a candybar?

I have to admit that I have never won a free trip by entering all those sweepstakes over the years, but someone must be winning so that keeps me trying!  This week I want to direct you to three different types of travel sweepstakes where you can participate.  I suggest that you always read the official rules before entering, check the residency qualifications, and opt out of any mailing lists or sharing of information depending upon your preference.

1. Trip Rewards Mystery Hot Spot
The hotel reward program behind such brands as Days Inn, Ramada, and Travelodge is offering a grand prize of a $10,000 vacation package (that you design) and an instant win game with lots of fun prizes such as an iPod, GPS, or gift card.
