"#JetItContest family and I went on a trip to southern France just to see the lavender fields but the road we needed to go on was closed...for the Tour De France! So my wife and I hiked 6 miles with the kids (1&3) to see the fields and got to see the yellow Jersey and pelton too!"

"GF & I hiked Machu Picchu. From there tried to board a plane to Aruba, airline didn't let us b/c we needed 'Yellow Fever Vaccination' documentation. After 3hrs of deliberations w/ gate agents, we made the next flight to Aruba where I proposed to my now fiancé. #JetItContest"

"Most memorable trip ever was last August I was able to take 4 disabled veterans to compete in the Scottish Highland Games being the first of their class to do so. We also were able to train UK vets and compete in the Royal Games. Got to meet the Prince."
