I've never entered before and I've been a road warrior for most of the past 10 years. Only now its not longer for *da man* but for *da woman...myself*
Has anyone ever entered before? Anyone have any tips? Suggestions that would help?
Fortunately I have until the end of August to enter or else I'd never have enough time to do it...but I consider it a one time shot...now or never.
So 1 million miles here I come....
Basic Rules and Requirements:
Okay, you missed entering the Road Warrior Contest last year and you’ve been kicking yourself ever since. We understand. But you’re here now and that’s all that matters. So, welcome to the 10th Annual American Way Road Warrior Contest!
Your mom probably warned you about bragging (she said it was rude) but we WANT you to brag about yourself and your traveling prowess! We’ve conjured up some fun tasks for you to complete and we can’t wait to hear about your life as an American Airlines road warrior.
