Contest time!!!!
As you know, we are in Montana for the week and we just did some quick snack shopping at the West Glacier Mercantile near the entrance to Glacier National Park.
Pictures is what we bought and we are looking for the closest guess, Price is Right style. So closest without going over.
Winner gets a $5 Starbucks card and a big congratulations from your favorite travel advisors.
Contest ends Tuesday 10am eastern time. Gueses must be on this post even if you are seeing it from our personal pages!

Ever wondered about the differences between river cruises and ocean cruises?
Let me break it down for you!
River cruises offer intimate experiences with scenic views and access to charming towns and historic sites.
Ocean cruises, on the other hand, bring the vastness of the sea, with exciting on-board activities and visits to vibrant coastal cities. 🌍✨
"Ocean cruises take you TO the countries, while river cruise take you THROUGH the countries!"
Which type of cruise sounds like your ideal getaway?
