Candy--Taking it to the next level!

How do we even begin to describe the adventurous spirit of our teammate, Candy?  While Caitlin and Krissey toiled away in Denver and Salt Lake City, Candy took the final weekend of the Challenge SERIOUSLY!  Where did she go?  Why, she went to Hong Kong (for a day) and then to Tokyo (for a day).  Incredible!

First stop, Hong Kong.  Candy was able to secure a Business Class seat on her flight from Detroit to Hong Kong, which is the 777 aircraft with the lay-flat seats.  She said it was out of this world!  Upon arrival into Hong Kong, she quickly completed Task #63--At the Jumbo Kingdom in Aberdeen Harbor (point value:  25, photo credit to Donnie from Scotland).  This is a giant, floating restaurant (can seat up to 2300 people) in Aberdeen Harbor, and is a well-known tourist attraction.

The very next morning, Candy flew to Tokyo.  She arrived on a rainy day, which might be discouraging to some.  But not Candy!  Oh, and did we mention she happened to time her arrival to correspond with a big city-wide celebration of all the provinces?  The city was filled with dancers and celebrants, all dressed in traditional costume.  Not only was Candy able to complete Task #67--At the Fuji TV Building (point value:  25), but she was able to do it with the all the flair and creativity that only she can!  Only Candy could have arranged her Fuji picture with parade participants!

Candy was also able to capture a THIRD Task--With someone in traditional Geisha costume (point value: 5), making this weekend trip for her a 55 point trip!  Candy, you will never cease to amaze us!

We will end this blog post for the evening with just a few photos from Candy's trip.  As you can see, she completely immersed herself in Japanese culture, and said she had an incredible time.

Tomorrow's post is our last "points" post, and boy...is it a doozy!  Stay tuned...it is definitely the icing on our Non-Rev Challenge cake.
