FEATURED TRIP: Bed & Breakfast on Tiffany Hill in North Carolina

Crossword Round: OH, MAN!
But he and Danielle instantly dud w/ R and S, respectively. Yvette spots a $900 T, an E trio and two N’s for the Gift Tag, but then a bad I purchase. Third, Andres calls up a $600 L, a $700 G and an A, but then the LaT. Next up is Danielle w/ a $700 M, but then the other dud vowel of O. Back to Yvette who says a $1,500 D trio and three U’s…
