Brief overnight At London Heathrow

We are blessed with about three hours sleep at a little in-terminal Hotel at Londow Heathrow International airport. The hotel, called, "Yotel" has rooms smaller than those on a cruise ship. We're jet lagged and running on no sleep. In about five hours we catch a flight to Geneva. Tomorrow, our first day of the Competitours trip, should be interesting!

Getting Ready!

It's day before blast off and Bob and I are taking care of last minute things. This proves to be a formidable trip for the Intrepid Flying Monkeys. There will be 11 teams on this trip, and as they have been introducing themselves, we've definitely noticed an underlying WINNING theme for the "competitourists". We definitely know that our fellow Competitourists are not to be dismissed. It is a mistake to assume anything when one is among the type of people who would sign up for a Competitours trip ... not your average bears, as Yogi would say. So, The Intrepid Flying Monkeys will be swinging on a different vine to reach greater heights, 'cause the big banana is on a higher tree than we thought.

Hope you enjoy following us in this exciting new and fun adventure! ... Ally and Bob

Plan B-- The Sequel... Competitours #2!

Hi All,

Ally and Bob are about ready to take off for the second Competitours trip. Rumour has it their first city is Geneva, but who really knows? Stay tuned for the first set of challenge posts for the 10 day trip. Those of you who followed the Swizzles on the European Competitour, may remember Ally and Bob from our videos and postings.... We are so excited to watch round two, and know that the rest of the field won't know what happened when The Intrepid Flying Monkey's hit Europe! Whoo Hoo! Go Ally and Bob!
Love,
The Swizzles.
