So, will there be a way for those of us sitting in arm-chairs at home to track the progress of the teams? Maybe there should be a requirement for those selected to post daily trip reports to the Community forum, so we all know how they are doing.

I'm glad I'm not you when this lot land! ;-) (although if you want a on ground helper...I'm willing to run away from my thesis for awhile!)

And you would be the musically challenged one?

And just so you know, it's 'well-traveled crowd' not 'well traveled crowd'.

Insofar as “well traveled” is concerned, the use of a hyphen is at the discretion of the writer. As I care deeply about the environment, I leave out the hyphen in the event that anyone prints the page. It saves ink.

New Team Intro
Team Valley Girls reporting for duty!
The Valley Girls met in high school and have been best friends and fellow travelers ever since. Neither time, nor family nor the 2049 miles between Hollywood & Cleveland have diminished a friendship that began more years ago than they will ever admit to.
So it has been, so it will always be: Nothing comes between The Valley Girls and a new adventure.

And by the way, to the grammarians above - when it comes to proper English, Team Valley Girls are to language as the Soup Nazi is to chicken - actually make that alphabet - soup.
