Done. Just waiting for the reply.

We seem to be chewing up a lot of screen time trying to figure out how the teams fly from London to Florida to Jamaica to Florida to Puerto Rico to Florida to wherever. But the mystery to me is why this rounting?
Why do the teams go to Puerto Rico after Jamaica when it almost certainly means they go to Florida in between and then back again for the final leg. What do they do in Puerto Rico that warrents this backward jaunt? We seem to identify all activity as happening inb Jamaica. But is perhaps the jump off the bridge or whatever thing actually taking place in Puerto Rico? This gives more meaning to Rob's comment about carrying Amber when it means a million bucks. Almost sounds like this is the final leg and they are on their way to pickup their backpacks and get on that flight to Miami, the last leg in the "race around the world"
Are we dead sure that the scene of Rob and Amber running through the airport with those heavy backpacks is actually San Juan Airport in Puerto Rico? The signs about "Boarding Passes Only" is in English. I know that it is pointed out that the ceiling and lights look the same, but it just doesn't seem to match the shot of San Jaun Airport that RaceyGirl has posted. For one thing, San Juan Airport is a facility almost dedicated to American Airlines. They dominate almost all of the gates. But in Miami they only have gates in Concorse B, and the shot of Rob and Amber looks like they are in a main corridor and are headed for the American Airlines gates in Concorse B. Security check in Miami are at the entrance to the concorses from the main corridor. This is what it looks like to me. In San Juan, it would only show gate numbers since almost all the gates are American Airline gates.
Then again it might be the Fort Lauderdale airport and they are running to make the connection to Puerto Rico after arriving on a Delta or someother airline. Will have to check those flights from FLL.
Which reminds me, why in the world are Rob and Amber still carrying those large, full backpacks this late in the race? Dump the old stuff and buy new stuff with your million bucks.
A lot of questions and not many answers.

In fact, Gretchen was wearing it in India on the elephant ride.

I don't know about "dead" sure, but that has got to be San Juan airport. I think raceygirl's shots are after they have checked in, so it would be a different part of the airport. I guess one thing to do would be to ask raceygirl if those shots look like San Juan airport to her. That ceiling is just too distinctive. I can't see why they wouldn't have some english signs in a Puerto Rican airport.
Since Racygirl DID see them come in the airport front, they must have had to do SOMETHING in PR, else they would already be checked in and just biding their time in a layover inside the gates. Perhaps Puerto Rico is just a "go to this place (some great PR landmark) and find your next clue". Their next clue say "fly to miami".
