I talked to the people over at Carnival Cruises and told them about our goals and what we had accomplished so far, and they informed me that they were going to send the Blue Team on a FREE 8 week cruise! We get our own little ship for all of us and while most cruises are 13 days max... I told them we were a bit adventurous and wanted to explore the cities a bit more than just one day would allow. Since we don't have to pay the money for the cruise, all we have to pay for is our shore excursions! ( If this were real, it would be an awesome deal!)
And we are cruising to some of the coolest places on Earth!
Hold on Europe! Here we come!
Cities to Visit:
London, England
Paris, France
Lisbon, Portugal
Seville, Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Cannes, France
Rome, Italy
Athens, Greece
Here's how it works:
Each week on Sunday, I'll post in this thread the city we are in. Under that, I'll list about 3 to 5 "shore excursions," what they entail and how much they cost in monetary value. There will be 4 different monetary values. You pick which excursion you want to go on and work towards for the week. If you finish raising money for that excursion, pick another one so on and so on. If you run out of excursions to chose from, continue to bank up money for the week. (Everyone needs a little extra in their pocket ) The person with the most excursions complete at the end of the week gets a special prize. (Not of monetary value)
