$31,650 (CDN) seems like an inflated value for this trip??

Well it is for 6 people, but still, that does seem high. Thats like $5,000 per person.

[Gatekeeper]

I'm trying to figure out if this is a trip to a singles resort or not?

I am not single, nor are the other people I would invite if I was to be so lucky as to win this. So should I bother entering?
