I am glad you had a great time. You folks were great. The race to the pit stop was awesome. You will have to see the video when it comes out. I have done a few of the races and I have to say I prefer driving to the next destination. Even as host there was a lot of traveling on foot to and fro. I talked with Bill after the race and he seemed to be struggling to his car. I wasn't sure who was more sore. I think he may reconsider any races that is all on foot. Bill if you read this I guess I am saying I hope you reconsider ;o). Bless you all, Rev. Stephen Hello Racers and race fans.

I could totally feel your stress and heart-pumping from trying to get from place to place. That's why even though I'd love to be on THE RACE, I'm not sure whether my heart could take it, or if I'd end up biting my partner's head off. {LOL} Glad you two had fun. OMG…that’s too hilarious.

Bill's got a recap up on the Amazing Hunt Blog as well. Seriously, I cannot move my legs. If I stretch and warm up a little I can maybe walk down the hallway but then they freeze up again. Yeah... it's about time I worked out or something. Eeek. Bill’s got a recap up on the Amazing Hunt Blog as well. Seriously, I cannot move my legs.

I felt so bad for the camera guys chasing everyone around. The host did a great job. Overall it was really well organized. I have to say the one clue about the triangles could have been worded a bit better though. We should do the north shore one or the one coming up in Surrey. We would totally kick on that one !

Travel is a big passion for us both, just don't get do to much as we're on a budget similar to yours; but it just drives us crazy watching sometimes and seeing the bone-head things some people do. Especially when some of the couples claim to be well traveled. Just rewatched an old episode where they leave the area we honeymooned in (Playa del Carmen), and that one in particular still drives me crazy... if we'd been there, we could have got probably a whole day ahead of everyone... wonder how the producers would have handled that.
