That's an awesome story. The last time I had to renew my passport was a crazy mess of red tape and an extra 6 months of hassle and then my trip was canceled.

I was going to guess 3/20 because that's my birthday but Pi Day isn't too bad either lol

MAJOR UPDATE to the story,

wife got home from work tonight, her boss surprised her with a $1000 ship credit...

then the cruiseline called... they were out of cabins and had to upgrade her to a suite. 400 square feet, top deck + balcony.

no joke, I couldn't make this up if I tried. I think I should give away another penny :)

To the first person to post? Hey that would be me! What luck. I bet she has an awesome time. My family are looking at doing an Alaskan Disney cruise next year.

Last one was given away to the first person to guess the right birthday. This one should go to the second person to post. Just to keep things fair of course! :-)

If your/her luck keeps up,the ice will cover all the navigable channels and she will end up on a mediteraneen cruise with a credit for a free Alaska cruise next year for all the inconvenience.I would pack a bathing suit if I was her.LOL

As for the date I will take the 26 which is also my birthday.
Rest in Peace

I got my penny today! Yea! It is the oldest Canadian coin that in my (pitiful -- until now!) collection.

Thank you Wade!!

I am so happy that your wife got to go, got that generous gift from her boss, and a sweet suite! I hope she's having a great time. It sounds like a real adventure and it was really nice you to make it all happen.

Now it's my turn to pay it forward! just need a contest and a photo...hmmmm

Wade, I think your other contest lost momentum, since it was moved here.
