Pedaler:
Banzai, Great screen caps. The sky diving looks to be the north shore of Oahu http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=+north+shore+sky+diving&btnG=Search
Dillingham Field has at least two sky diving companies. I think the exact location of the paddling is going to be difficult.

Some more information. The best connections (no direct flights) from Shanghai to Honolulu are either through Tokyo or Osaka. There are flights leaving Shanghai on All Nippon Airways (NH) at 12:50PM arriving in Osaka at 3:55Pm connectings with a flight NH7058 (but operated by United Airlines (UA) leaving at 6:30PM (18:30) arriving in Honolulu at 7:00AM the same day (don't forget that you will be crossing the International Date Line so that a flight leaving Wednesday evening at 6:30PM arrives in Honolulu at 7:00AM Wednesday!) There are other flights to Osaka on Japan Airlines and Thai Airlines. So maybe Freddy and Kendra were not able to book straight through from Shanghai and are now trying to get on the earlier flight NH7058. There are also conncecting flights through Tokyo and two of those flights also arrive in Honolulu at 7:00AM. So it looks like however the three remaining teams fly to Honolulu they all will be arriving at the same time early in the morning.
More Information. Looking up the "Love Locks" in China, Information on Google places the location of these unique tokens of "love" on a mountain in HUANGSHAN (OR HANGCHOW) China. This location is pictured in one article and the scene and background are a match for the ones shown on AOL. To reach the Love Locks you must first travel up by gondola cable car (you can walk is you so desire and have all day to do it!) then climb a very steep stairway (AOL shot matches one in the article). To reach Huangshan you can travel by bus, long and rough roads, or take an overnight sleeper train (about 10 hours with stops). The distance from Shanghai to Huangshan is about 250 miles. We have no pictures of airports or trainstations so it is possible that they even went by taxi! And it looks like the four teams are all there together and are waiting for the gates to the cable car to open early in the morning.
