Best Mouse Adventure Ever!

But oh how sore I still am.

Lisa already caught some of our highlights, but hear are a few of my favorites:

Asking early on if there were any penaltiess for guessing - there weren't, other than you couldn'e go down the list eliminating every possibility. That saved us on the collage, once we narrowed it down.
Not thinking outside the box on the locker quest - should have though to shift the digits a space. Instead, we "assumed" the first number was left intentionally blank and that the bank had to end in "zero." Yup we took a hit on that one, but managed to miss the first cut-off, probably the last to do so.
Getting to the Hojo's and back. I kept insisting we take one of the cabs outside the park over. I got vetoed, but I still think I should have sold this stratagy more. It was nice that we could use trivia here, we basicly walked in and walked out passing all the folks doing the word search. Steph's knowledge of Mara enabled her to translate as we walked down Harbor blvd.
The Gear, so much fun to outfit our spy kits which this year included:
- Handcuffs, keys missing (actaully originally purchased in Disnyland's magic shop sometime in the 70s - my team mates thought I'd never get them in the park. But I did). But not having keys, we knew we could only use them once unless ubergeek was around.
- Flashlights - which came in very handy in the collage quest
- Binoculars - also played a role in the collage quest
- French Press coffee maker with carabiner handle (plus a baggy full of Peet's) - best coffee I've ever had in the park, borrowing some hot water from the Plaza Inn
- Safety Pins - Great for attaching unsticking number tags and having an alternative way of wearing a fry hat.
- Medical Kit, including Advil, Bandaids, Cold medicine, and condoms. The advil sure came in handy.
- Refracting glasses - made to ride on Pooh so much more enjoyable.

Can't wait till next year - I think my team is sold on the spy angle. There's this cool night vision gogle I want to get...
