We are a hodge podge group.  An equestrian from North Carolina, an aspiring actress from Hollywood, an engineering student from Montana, a real estate assistant from Texas, a physical therapist from Kentucky, a wedding photographer from Wisconsin to name a few.  And me.  Crazy, fun, insane me from New Hampshire.  All told, there are 53 of us, including our two squad leaders.   

We are a group that is impossible to miss.  And even when we break up into smaller groups, it is easy to see World Racers coming.  And yet, we managed to travel very well today!  

We have successfully handled our first several tasks: survive a 14.5 hour flight from Los Angeles to Hong Kong.  Check. 

Navigate our way through the Hong Kong airport to the gate for our next flight.  Check.

Find Starbucks in the Hong Kong airport.  Not an east task!  But in the end, Check.

Fly to Manila, Philippines and post my first blog from the field.  Check.
