Free Trip Deadline!
February 17, 2010
The entry deadline for the second annual Almost Free Trip to Unalaska & Dutch Harbor is almost here. Were only accepting cards postmarked through March 14th 2010.
This years contest is pretty easy. Just send a postcard with your full name and a random six character alpha numeric code on it to the address below. Please only one card per person / entry.

I’ll take cards postmarked through March 14th 2010. The winning card will be selected later that week at random from all the cards received and posted here on danslife.net All you have to do after that is check to see if your card is the one posted, and if it is, email me the code you wrote on it. (obviously I’m not going to show the code online
)
So, just like last year the rules are simple. I’ll fly you from Seattle to Dutch Harbor (and back) on Alaska Airline miles. You send me the dates, I see if I can get a ticket and if it works out great. If not we keep trying dates until we get you out here. Last years winner ended up flying out here in August and stayed a week and a half.
Why the code? That and the postmark location is how I’m going to verify that you are the person who sent me the card. I think its safer than asking you to include email or phone information on the post card. You can include that information if you like, but I’m happy with the random code.
Thanks and have fun!
Dan

Got something to say?


How is it, Dan, that you can afford to do this? And why would you do this? Me, I’d love to visit Dutch Harbor, to meet my blog buddies Alaska Steve and CB.

Simple really, I have a lot of airline miles. The cost of flying out here is really outrageous, and we get a lot of people who talk about coming out but never do because of the airfare. So – why not spend 20 or 30k miles to help someone out?
I’ll be looking for your post card BZ!
Okay then. I’ll be shipping it, sir. No matter who wins, you are showing a remarkable kindness.

Very cool !!! You’ve got a wonderful SOUL !!
I can tell you are a all around great guy!!!
Well, I got mine it the post box Saturday, but not sure when it’ll be post marked…perhaps you might fudge it to the 15th considering the 14th is a Sunday? In any case, I think it’s quite awesome that you do this.
Cheers!
