Got my votes in.
Cool, thanks Dan and good luck!
I kept looking for Delhi- I think no one voted for it. Boston is such a wonderful city and it looks like it is top of the list so far!
Wasn’t on the original list…among some others I was surprised not to see. This is a good bunch though, should be interesting to see how it all turns out.
If New York City wins, I’ll donate the money to Big Apple Greeter (http://www.bigapplegreeter.org/) a great organization that welcomes visitors to this wonderful city!
Hi Michaela, great idea
You’re off to a good start, good luck!
Cool contest, a great idea!
