Hot diggety dog! This week has been the tightest race yet in our StayCay to far away challenge. I’ve been refreshing stats like a madman for the past few hours, closely monitoring the the dog fight between Stephen Pepper Truffles and I. It has been fierce. Here’s a recap of the morning:
- 4:52am: Tied score
- 8:28am: Nick moves ahead by two
- 11:08am: Stephen pulls ahead by one
- 11:23am: Nick is back on top by one.
- 11:32am: Stephen is once again ahead by one.
- 11:51am: Tied score!
And doggone it, that’s where we ended: Week 4 is a tie. Stephen nearly came out top dog, but while every dog has its day, the dog didn’t eat my homework this week. But (bow)-wow it was close!
Week 4 standings:
- Stephen and Nick: 72 (Imitation (Time) Travel With Barky McFly #StayCayToFarAway and Welcome to Reyes University. RU Ready? | Travel-themed life hack with Nick | #StayCaytoFarAway)
- Greg: 46 (Everything Bagel Baking! Greg’s Destination Cooking #StayCayToFarAway)
- Carrie: 20 (Carrie’s Dream-like Wedding for the Improv Travel Challenge #StayCaytoFarAway)
Weekly winners thus far:
- Week 1: Nick
- Week 2: Greg
- Week 3: Greg
- Week 4: Stephen and Nick
Interestingly, in Week 1, my Destination Cooking video ran away with first place by a large margin. Greg took Week 2 by just three votes over Carrie. Week 3 was a runaway win for Greg by a large margin. As noted above, Week 4 came down to the wire, with the tie score coming in with just nine minutes to go and Stephen denying me my bid claim two weekly wins on par with Greg’s.

This is off this topic but FF related. Is there a way to see from the web site, when British Airways miles expire? I have 250,00+ that I’d prefer not to lose. I know I can transfer some in to prevent expiration but would love to find out the actual date. I know I did find that information once a long time ago.
Thanks
