[Declive]

We have,Miami to Guatemala City,two flights.to St Thomas,two flights,San José,two flights and San Juan,two flights.

[Leafsfan]

The flight is going to MIAMI!

Miami usually means a Caribbean or a S/America first leg!

Are you kidding? Lol. I JUST got back from Florida...like an hour ago 

Unless I overlooked something, no.

NO celebrity sightings of yet!

From horchataa Nick Sherwood

"The 2 girls in matching purple asked where I was going"

Too bad he didn't ask them where they are headed

[Amazingracer]

The flight is scheduled to land at 6:40. An early morning flight on a busy travel weekend, there should be sitings in the morning.

The man on the far left of the Terminal 4 picture looks a lot like Joe from Joe and Heidi of season 16. Peach said that we might see a previous racer with a new partner on this season.

Thought the same thing

[Amazingracer]

Note: Only on American Airlines flights.

There are a variety of flights to many Latin American cities, many Caribbean cities out of Miami tomorrow morning.

[Leafsfan]

Early flights from Miami have Central/South America as the favourites for the first destination.

More pure spec

My wild guess is Caracas. A new place in a new country, possible flight combos,

CCS Caracas   S3 1516        SBA Airlines    10:15 AM      
CCS Caracas   AA 935   American Airlines    11:45 AM

NO. Unlikely at best. Caracas is not safe.

I think we can confirm that Joe from season 16 is back for another try. I do not know who his partner is though.

I think we're a LONG, LONG way from confirming Joe is on TAR 20. All I see is someone with a slight resemblance to Joe. Let's not jump to conclusions.

Besides, he wasn't exactly a fan favorite, so I can't see why they would choose to bring him back.

I thought so too, the girl in front of him could possibly be rachel but im not sure

[Declive]

I mean,who in the picture do you found that look like Joe?

[north09]

guy in the red bears a strong resemblance

[Declive]

True,really looks like.

[Plaidmoon]

He looks taller and younger than Joe to me. Maybe 10 years younger.

Okay!

Here is the LAX to MIA AA276 info:

AA 276
Scheduled Departure: 10:55 PM - Sat 26-Nov-2011
Scheduled Arrival: 6:40 AM - Sun 27-Nov-2011

Possibles to MIA (does NOT exclude other possible flight to ultimate destination)

[David.]

Edit: Nvm. Misread the Arrival Time...   

[Plaidmoon]

Do we know if all the teams were on AA276? If not, do we know if this was the leading group of teams or the trailing group of teams? Any ideas about a second flight?

[Plaidmoon]

Here is a bit of speculation.

http://www.elingspark.org/

Elings Park in Santa Barbara was closed all day today. Maybe it was for the start line of the race.

Your link shows the two soccer fields reserved yesterday (Saturday) but not the other sites within the park. Last Saturday both soccer fields were reserved along with a softball field, Godric Grove and the picnic area. Next Saturday, both soccer fields, 2 softball fields, Godric Grove, the Fenton Davidson site and the picnic area are reserved at various times. If anything, Elings Park was less busy today than usual. Is there more evidence that I'm not seeing that indicated that the park was closed today?

[georgiapeach]

Possible good departures from Miami include:

Sao Paulo at 9 AM

Buenos Ares at 9

Belize at 955

Due to some other info  we have been aware of thanks to WP, I think BELIZE may be likely.

[Plaidmoon]

If TAR 20 did start in the Santa Barbara area, one site that jumps out to me immediately as a scenic and photogenic starting location is the Santa Barbara Mission (http://santabarbaramission.org/). It's considered the most beautiful of the Spanish Missions built in California. Less likely would be Hearst Castle (http://www.hearstcastle.org/) ( the massive estate that William Randolph Hearst built in 1920s-1940s) and the town of Solvang (http://www.solvangusa.com/ - sort of a mock up of a Danish village). Hearst Castle is fabulous, but it's about 150 miles up the coast from Santa Barbara (230 miles from Los Angeles) and that would be a really long drive from there to LAX. Solvang is about 30 to 40 miles up the coast and I really don't think it's special enough to make the cut for TAR. I looked around on sites for all three places and couldn't find any indication that any of them were closed yesterday. However, they are all busy tourist attractions, so it seems likely that we would have seen some tweets in they were filming there.
