Amazing Race: NYC
June 16 2005
ok. So for the past 24 hours, I have been competing against two other minitry teams in a 24-hour video scavenger hunt in New York City. That's right, all of New York City... Manhatten, Brooklyn, Queens, New Jersey, etc...
We were dropped off Wednesday afternoon at the airport with nothing but one cell phone per group, our metro (subway) cards, and a CD-ROM... Long story short... we had to find a place to read the CD and then print the clues to the hunt.
We were not allowed to contact the other teams, go back to any apartments, bring our own money, etc. They left us with $80.00 in team money.
So, long story short, it is now THURSDAY EVENING and I JUST got back from the 24-hour "Amazing Race" video hunt.
I HAVE NOW BEEN UP FOR 35 HOURS STRAIGHT! - and you should try that sometime.
However, I did learn my way around New York City... and had several interesting encounters including: walking through Harlem at about midnight, begging for food/money, finding our way all the way back to Manhatten from the airport, have 500 people sign a fake petition, going to Times Square at 4AM (and surprisingly, it is pretty empty)... those sorts of things!
It was a ton of fun and my team won! So that added to all this madness. I am seriously tired and feel that I will sleep till Saturday.
This was my welcome to me from New Hope New York.

I'm so jealous. I love The Amazing Race and have often wanted to get some people together to plan one like yours. BUT I always figured the one I planned would be more fun than the one someone else would plan for me to do. What an experience!! Be sure to share with me every detail sometime.

i just noticed that you conveniently left out my favorite detail of this story. you know, that little bit about the kind of "pants" you were wearing. i still can't believe it.
