Michael, within 300 miles of Toronto are:

Cleveland
Detroit
Pittsburgh
Buffalo

It'll be tough duty, but think of your contribution to AR12.

Big Papi, the one visit I made to Puerto Rico 25 years ago was well before it was safe to go to Vieques. However, today taking the ferry across from the eastern point of the main island or a plane from San Juan is definitely worth doing. Vieques is a happening place!

GMAN, I think you've solved the mystery of why the congrats on the plane between D/K and E/D:
Quote
Looks like they are celebrating that they are way ahead of C/M not knowing that C/M made different flight out of Guam but all three teams will hook up together in NRT for fllight NW 10 to HNL.

That fits precisely with my Glenn Weber interview information, which revealed that C/M took the earlier NW 81 by themselves and booked it at Continental. I expect that those smiles will be wiped off their faces when all 3 teams meet up boarding NW10 in Narita.

....The picture from Yahoo could be from the left out fish task in Coloane, China. Or some where in Macau..I'm too lazy to look.
The second one is what we assume C/M in a taxi heading for the Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park.

Same clothes, same hair; looks the same to me. I went looking around Coloane again and I found this gallery from AOL describing Coloane, the noodle task, etc. I wonder how I missed it the first time.  ???

I'm bothered by the shot of Mirna by the taxi.  I know someone spotted it to be in Honolulu but it makes no sense to me to have a team waiting by a taxi while checking her watch.  Could it possibly be in Guam before they catch the NW81 to NRT?

Taxi+air traffic control tower is a match.

Why does she look so relaxed? already has a reservation? There is time for them to catch their breath I think.



Well guys--I'm catching a plane in less than 8 hours for TARcon.

If anyone has any unanswered questions for racers--Post them and I'll do my best!

Spoil well and I'll chime in when I can!

Pictures to come---maybe! :lol:

Here is another thing to ponder.  If the teams fly from Lanai direct to HNL why would they be waiting by a taxi?  Wouldn't they make a direct connection through the terminal from one flight to another?  Something doesn't seem to ring true.  Or are they on the way from the arrival hall to wherever they can catch a helio flight to Lanai.  NW10 arrived at 7:40AM so by the time they get through customs there wouldn't be a wait for Hours of Operation for the helio takeoff.  And both Charla and Mirna change clothes before the get  into the chopper: Charla has her black swinsuit with flowers on over her slacks, and Mirna now wears a tight light green halter type top.

This shot was taken here.  There is a business there called Offshore Flight School and they do helicopter tours.

Note, this gets updated in the next page.  This location is incorrect!

you think people will be mad at you if the list is wrong?  :jumpy: I'll go easy on you, don't worry, but honestly, we both know you have nothing to worry about. It just can't be wrong. Everything points to that now...  :( for me,  ;D for Big Papi!

All the transportation stuff (helicopter, driving, Zodiac) are just compulsory tasks I would think.

The Kayak Paddle to the shipwreck would be compulsory as well, but I think the detour would be something like surf (because Charla on the surfboard boat thing looks completely different to the RED kayak) or dive.

I think the final roadblock would be something along the lines of "finding" your partner who's hidden somewhere by doing something.

I'm not vague at all  :lol:

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF!?

I think I started spoiler-ing myself after Freddy and KKKendra won. And this is the first time I've actually started participating in spoiler discussion in this season so much love to you all.

Actually I could have really spoiled the F5 in TAR 2 because I was "in the city" (at the centre of Sydney) the day where Blake/Paige and Wil/Tara were running around. I was in the background sliding down the steepy walls built on the side of the Opera House with some of my family/friends and taking photos of us when we noticed these camera/mic crews following two teams and I was like WTF!? because I saw Season 1 but was only 12-13 at the time. So we just hung around and watched as one of the team members left in taxis to go do their RB (which I totally forgot at the time because I SUCK!).

Phew great story. Not.
