TO CLARIFY: Teams have NOT left Boston yet (as of ten minutes ago).

This update from an eye-witness: "They are currently at Logan Airport in Boston. Not sure where they are heading, but they are in the area of the terminal that is bound for Frankfurt, Germany."

To clarify, evenmore they were at Terminal B2 and E.  So American Airlines to LHR and Lufthansa to Frankfurt and from those places to somewhere in Europe then.

There are 2 Congo's.  Congo-Brazzaville is in fact a safe country.  The Congo formerly known as Zaire is very unsafe.

Pretty sure the Mookie one is a hoax. They tweeted days ago about seeing the teams in Seattle.

Portuguese is like Spanish, so I'll take a knack. The guy's only asking if TAR may finally return to Portugal?  :groan:

This was posted in the TAR 17 spoiler thread at TWOP:

Based on a report from a friend of mine who flew out of Logan Airport today, they are flying out of Boston, headed to London. The first teams to arrive all went to the American counter and were booked on AA Flight 108, which leaves tonight at 7:15 pm.

Here is exclusive Video Shot At my Dock This Morning Showing the CBS Amazing Race Teams Boarding Gloucester Fishing Boats- The Jennie C, No Excuses, Karen Lynn, Tuna.Com, Lady J and Lady Lane.

I accidentally call it the Great Race in the video but I know it’s called The Amazing Race.

You can see the teams dressed in different colors walking down the gangway to board the fishing boats at the State Fish Pier.  Then they head out single file past the historic Paint Factory to  Gloucester’s inner harbor where they passed by The Greasy Pole and Hammond Castle en route back to The Eastern point Yacht club where they disembarked and the race begins.  On East Main Street one of the teams stopped the Mrs and her friends who just got out of a run-fit class for directions to Boston’s Logan Airport.  She had to sign a release stating that she may be on TV.

One team stopped while in traffic on East Main St and rolled down their window.  It was a good looking man and woman who asked how to get to Logan.   When the car stopped two cameramen popped out of SUV which was right behind the man and woman race team who were rolling seperately in a Smart Car. The cameramen and a microphone were shoved in the Mrs face and when she replied how to get to Logan the team told her not to speak to anyone else.  Then they signed the releases and were off.

So they have the team in a smart car and the crew in a bigger car behind? They probably have cameras installed inside the cars, then.
