Additional observations based on recent posts:

1. GMAN, I love ya(but not the way puddin does). However, Burkina Faso doesn't get much press(neither did its predecessor Upper Volta) and what it does get should be accurate and respectful. I would like to see you learn to spell it correctly. I had to learn how to not leave out the first "a" in Ouagadougou, which I have had to go back and fix.

2. The train schedules provided by Chateau says just what I had predicted, that getting train service into CDG by 9am for the flight to OUA would be difficult. This is so even from Amsterdam where train servic is almost hourly. The problem is it doesn't start early enough to make the connection. What does this mean? It means that the earlier hypothesis that they actually flew from AMS to CDG is the most likely. I do not believe(sorry, Chateau) that the Race would have sent teams to Paris and exposed them in a place where American tourists abound for an unnecessary overnight stay when they could do so quietly in the Dutch countryside near Amsterdam.

3. Flights they could have taken are:

KL1227 (code share AF8227) departs Amsterdam 650am arrives CDG 805am

KL1223 (code share AF8223) departs Amsterdam 720am arrives CDG 840am

Both of these are well within the security/checkin requirements for a 1055am intercontinental flight. There is also a one hour later flight that doesn't but could serve in a pinch.

Has TAR ever been to Barbados?  ???

Season 10, Episode 12

This is all I can find...would the episode credits show anything?


--- Quote --- Rob and Kimberly bicker themselves all the way to a first place finish. They win an awesome trip for two to Barbados, spa money and a land and sea safari.

Well guys, we need to get our thinking caps back on.

Sadly, it looks as though Belize may not be part of TAR 12 after all.   :(

Based on some Belize legal requirements, there is no evidence that TAR 12 met those requirements--or made any effort there to do so.

Could they have still filmed? Not legally according to my source. And they have been by the book everywhere else.

And while I am giving you the bad news, Dallas airport as a filming location has also been ruled out, as has Houston, and most likely Atlanta.

Some good news? I have renewed hope for Kerry in Ireland! ;)

Good stuff peachs! Keep it coming :yourock:
