All right! So here we go! Today was repositioning day. We moved from our hotel in downtown Brussels to the Sheraton Brussels airport hotel – the “team hotel” for the beginning of the competition portion of our trip (Competitours.com). Most of the teams have checked in, although 2 teams leaving Philly had flights canceled and needed to re-route to the first destination city. The first destination city, we just the other day found out, is Billund, Denmark!

So this evening we all arranged an informal meet and greet in the hotel lobby bar. Everyone who could make it, did. It was great to finally meet most of the teams who we have been texting with over the last few months. A wonderfully diverse group of people who we can’t wait to travel with across Europe.

And now for the competition part. So when we get to Billund we first go and check into our hotel and then meet up with our Tour guide/evil genius, Steve (aka “THE STEVE”) who will give us our formal intro to the competition. Then we will go down the street to our first challenge destination – LegoLand! This is the Original LegoLand and the place where Legos were invented. Just like everything on this tour (much like the tv show The Amazing Race) we have no idea what challenges we will be doing there (although we were told there are 3 separate challenges we will be performing)  and we have no idea where the next city will be the following day,  until Steve gives us that information tomorrow evening. Lots of unknowns but that’s all part of the fun of this travel competition!
