Only 18 Days Left!

A photo op that we could not pass up
Motown Madness on the move- Quebec style
Awesome Halloween display in Quebec
Bryan, Melanie and I took a day trip to Quebec City to cross off one more international trip. We only had about 3 hours there after a lightning strike turned into a plane change. Bryan seems to be the common denominator in all of our travel mishaps and he really needs to pull it together if we are going to win this thing :) Quebec was a beautiful city with a charming, European feel. We picked up our clue at Auberge du Tresor and met some nice people who actually asked for our blog info! Now our blog has officially gone worldwide- well sort of. I always love to see how people react when they ask what we are doing. We usually get blank stares, looks of amazement or looks of suspicion from Customs and Immigration. "How long are you staying in Canada?"...."um...4 hours" ....and then I hold my breath and hope for entry into the country. We have to remember that flying somewhere like Singapore for 5 hours or DC for 1 hour or New Orleans for 2 hours is not normal to most people. Sometimes, we have to stop and remember how lucky we are to have these awesome opportunities and benefits...and even better to be able to take advantage of them. Well we have to map out which clues are next. Good luck to all the teams in the final stretch!!

Our clue in Quebec City

Photo Fun

In honor of our 2009 teammate Anna! She didn't make the cut this year, but still came along to Asia with us. Sorry Anna- don't be discouraged- there's always next year...LOL! Notice that I am a victim of the typhoon drenched from head to toe!
It only took the cab driver about 10 tries to get this picture right.

Bryan still missed the flight...even after he dove into the gate!
Why wasn't this a clue? A mechanical whale!

Are we still on the move???

Of course we are...the Motown Madness never stops. Where have we been since our last blog post? I can't even keep up, but I know what we have left. Our goal is to of course complete all 100 clues, but it's going to be tough. We've had some great adventures over the past few weeks and I'm sure there are many similar stories out there from our competitors. Everything from getting stuck in ORF and BNA to the balloon fiesta in ABQ and a mechanical whale ride on Bourbon Street in MSY. The travel schedule is rough, but we can't quit in the final stretch. Well it's off for now....we have to figure out how to get TLV, DXB, MGA, SJU and BCN in 1 day. It has to be possible, right?
