Congratulations on winning, and yes, please add my name to the hat. I agree to all of the conditions. It would truly be the trip of a lifetime for me and my DH.

This is the trip of a lifetime!

This is the trip of a lifetime!

Thank you for offering this fantastic opportunity to your Pearl Paradise followers and fans! My family has been anxiously awaiting the results of the first drawing, my kids keep asking which one of them I would bring if I won! If I won, I would pay to bring them all along, it would be the family trip of a lifetime! They will be thrilled that we have a second chance, what a generous way to honor your fellow pearl-worshipers! We agree to your terms completely (I'm pretty handy with a camera too!). Happy Holidays to you all!

You got it, GemGeek! I will have someone here draw the name so you can be included!

Lisa, I can't tell if you are throwing your hat in or not ... ?

Jeremy, my husband has a few questions. I didn't see this addressed on the CPAA contest page describing the trip (and in any case the page is gone now that the contest is over.)

1. How many days/nights are included in the "all expenses paid" trip?
2. I see that Fiji Airways flies out of NYC-- would that leg of the trip be covered or would we need to board in another location, like, say, California?

 

[jshepherd]

I really don't know. I am emailing the CPAA now to ask.

 

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

I would be delighted to be included for a chance to represent P-G on this trip.

Thank you Jeremy and Hisano for this terrific opportunity. Good luck to everyone on the list and Merry Christmas to all.

1. How many days/nights are included in the "all expenses paid" trip?
7 DAYS
2. I see that Fiji Airways flies out of NYC-- would that leg of the trip be covered or would we need to board in another location, like, say, California?
They also fly from the west coast. We will pay for all connecting flights.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks for getting that information, Jeremy!
Now my husband and I need to talk, so don't add my name to the drawing yet.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Okay, so I also have a question ... also mentioned by someone else ... would it be possible for the winner to pay for extra guests to go along?

 

[Purranha]

Oh yah would the trip be for 2 people or just one?
Pearl Dreams if you win and your hubs don't want to go, you can take me!!!

Over the ground lies a mantle of white,
A sky full of diamonds
Shines down through the night...

I'm sorry you sweet person, I wasn't clear atall, atall! (Grins -get it? Any Irish PearlGuiders out there, besides the cool guy who posted from the MiddleEast?)

Nope;
I really wanted to, but I'm dying here ( visiting in St Pete ) of the heat and humidity, and it's only 81* in the house. My mother WILL NOT turn on the AC! I thought she loved me...but she gave me a floor fan instead. So I'll probably be dead of heat stroke before I could schedule the trip.
Plus, I'd be a burn victim in no time. My spirit is SO willing, but my body says "Whut?!? Are you NUTS?!" (I saw your sunburn in the photos of your trip with Josh)
Also, I don't have GoogleGlasses, sunglass-version.

That's the way to go, people, although I'm not sure how they work. Think of how cool that would be, to have both hands free and still be able to film! Releasing pearls; keeping your hat on with one hand holding a cold drink with the other, etc, etc.

 

[lisa c]

Good luck, everybody! I think the closest I'll get to a pearl harvest is Jeremy's vault (self-pitying sniff)

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Hubby and I have decided not to enter the drawing, too. But I look forward to the reports and photos of whoever does go!

I'm assuming here that he's talking about connecting flights from within America .... So just to further complicate things .. could you please ask how they will handle foreigners given that several people in the drawing don't live in the USA. I mean I'm half way there already.. lol

Lisa ! Wear sunblock and a hat and sign up....if you go in May - June it shouldn't be too humid .. ok...so it'll be a bit humid and hot (84)... but you can do it ...Google glasses....now I've got to look them up ...

 

[jshepherd]

The question is forwarded!

 

[Katbran]

Thank you kind and generous sir!

Now I'm moving away from the computer as it's too warm ... 106 degrees for past 3 days and 3 more predicted ... ugh .... and Lisa...my AC is ON!! If your mom expects me to visit she better turn on the Air !!
