Happy Thursday! This week we've got 3 must-visit businesses, 3 can't-miss events, and so much more. Hope you had a great week! The Sun sets after 5pm now!! πŸŒ‡

Let's get this party started!

🌟 This Week's Spotlight: Sky High Society

Sky High Society

Vibe: This Black-owned travel agency puts in the real footwork to research and negotiate bucket list destinations, creating true experiences rather than just booking trips.

Who it is for: Perfect for anyone looking to celebrate life's big moments - birthdays, anniversaries, divorces, graduations, or your child's special milestones - with solo adventures, group trips, or educational travel. Sky High Society serves travelers who want more than a basic vacation package and appreciate an agency that builds direct relationships with tour companies, resorts, and hotels to craft something special.

Mention BOIR when you contact them to get 50% off any 2026 or 2027 group trip.
