Hi There!
We’re taking off again on another (short!) adventure and the destination is a secret!!! Our friends and family have already resorted to begging, bribing, and trying to trick us into spilling the beans, and we’re not budging! And we have to admit, it’s kinda fun.
We thought instead of just going about business as usual, we could have some fun, make some new friends, and take the opportunity to highlight a couple of great businesses by having a contest. So we’re giving away a $50 gift to the first person to guess which airport we’re flying into! If no correct guess is made, the person whose guess is closest in distance will be the winner.
HERE’S HOW TO PLAY:
