Win Your Own Personal Assistant and a Two-Night Hotel Stay

Have you ever wished you could clone yourself? Or that you had an extra few hours in every day to get all of your daily “to do” list checked off before you go to sleep at night?

Well, here’s your chance to win your very own virtual personal assistant!

TaskUs, an hourly virtual personal assistance service, has teamed up with the fabulous Hyatt Place hotel brand to offer The Vacation Gals readers an incredible giveaway: 30 hours of virtual assistance to use by August 2010, and a two-night stay at any Hyatt Place property in the United States with no blackout dates or expiry date.

Pretty, cool, huh?

Just check out all the services TaskUs offers: Don’t want to research plane fares for your next trip? Have your assistant do it. He or she can also proofread your website, figure out the best place for you to hold your kid’s birthday party, help you job search, manage your eBay auction or make a Power Point presentation. It’s c-r-r-a-z-y the number of administrative, personal or sales tasks these folks can help you do — saving you time to do what you want to do, whether that’s hang out with your family, travel, exercise, write blog posts, volunteer at your kids’ school or watch reality TV. Whatever you want to do with that extra 30 hours of “free” time is up to you!

Couple your the virtual-assistance service with a relaxing stay at a Hyatt Place property … and you’ll likely be well on your way to feeling more balanced in your efforts to juggle all of those work-family balls we so often have hovering in mid-air ready to crash any moment.

Hyatt Place is geared mainly toward business travelers, with its urban, suburban and airport locations and crisp contemporary environments. But families appreciate the free continental breakfasts available each morning; the touch-screen menus — used to order hot breakfast, as well as snacks and entrees 24 hours a day — are high tech and cool.

All you have to do to win 30 hours of virtual-assistance service and a two-night stay at any Hyatt Place property in the United States is leave a comment below answering these two questions about what you’d do if you win this prize:

1. What’s the first thing you think you’ll have your TaskUs virtual assistant do? (Check out TaskUs.com for examples of services.)
2. Where do you think you’d use your credit for two nights at a Hyatt Place hotel? (Name a city; check out the Hyatt Place website for a full list of locations.)

You must answer both of these questions. If your comment number is chosen via Random.org and you did not answer both questions, we’ll move on to another number.

Enter as often as you like (repeat your answers if you want), but only one entry per email address per day. You must be 18 years or older and reside in the United States or Canada. No immediate relatives of The Vacation Gals are eligible.

Giveaway runs through 6 p.m. (PST) Tuesday, March 23. Two winners will be chosen (each will win the 30 hours of virtual assistance and two-night hotel credit) via Random.org, and winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 24.

Good luck!
