I think once we name the team that the fundraising will pick up so not a big deal right now.

We've had a few members in the very last 2-3 candidates have new job conflicts come up at the 11th hour so please bear with us.

Confused here

How many teams are we sending? I thought there were 2 people on a team

Looks like 2 teams to me.

This is kinda coming down to the wire. This starts in basically a month.

Somewhere in the world a Boeing jet is taking off or landing every second —24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Just wondering when the offical word will come down. I'm holding off other plans, while waiting for the offical word.

The link atop each Forum page says - and the bolding is mine:

Help sponsor a team of two members to represent FlyerTalk in the upcoming GreatEscape2002 which crowns "The World's Great Travelers."

OK Oz - I did not major in math- but Randy says he is 3/4 done--- I cant figure out how you can be 3/4 done on picking two people http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Maybe alternates?

Might ¾ done just mean he was 75% done with the selection process? Anyway, a tough job, as so many great candidates put themselves forward. Hope they have a wonderful adventure, whomever gets the final nod. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I do not believe Australia is a country possible re this???

Australia is included in the list of countries that contestants are told they might visit.

http://www.greatescape2002.com/countrydatabase.html

The only countries that the contestants will be required to ge t visa's from BEFORE departure are India and China. The other ones can be obtained in country @ point of entry, or like the australian one, done electronically by airline @ departure.
