Online auction site biddingforgood.com has become a prime hunting ground for travel-package deals. U.S. charities post their auction items on the site - everything from cruises and family getaways to wine-tasting vacations - with most channelling the proceeds to causes such as textbooks for schools and protecting coral reefs. Items up for bid this week included a seven-day culinary adventure to Paris, including airfare for two, accommodations, cooking classes and breakfast (starting bid of $5,700), and an all-inclusive, seven-day family vacation to Beaches Negril Resort & Spa in Jamaica, including airfare for two adults and two children under 15 years of age (starting bid of $7,070).
