		<title>The Valley Girls-Team 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WHAT A WEEK! We arrived in Europe buzzed with excitement for the competition.  Our adrenalin levels were so high, we never felt tired.   Each night, we couldn&#8217;t wait to read the handouts and find out what country we would be going to the next day.  At breakfast, we would trade funny stories.  At the bar [...]]]></description>

		<title>The drum roll please . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We appreciate everyone&#8217;s patience in waiting for the scores to be tallied.   What happened?   Well, we learned a valuable lesson this first trip.  Eleven teams vying for internet connectivity and loads of bandwidth at the same time from a small hotel&#8217;s even smaller wi-fi capacity, is not gonna work!  So, after the second night of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Team 5 &#8211; &#8220;Team Gadling&#8221; Day four update &#8220;Belgium&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re still recovering from the trip. As David from Team Goldtroni said, it&#8217;s not a vacation, it&#8217;s a trip. But what a trip it&#8217;s been! I posted a &#8216;day 4&#8242; video and post on Gadling. I doubt if my wife and I had found ourselves in Brussels on a vacation we would have ventured into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth here.  Kevin of Team Extreme and I teamed up for the second part of Competitours.  In Paris our last night, were asked by fellow Competitourists &#8211; what was the most memorable adventure we had.  Kevin and I had some fantastic adventures, but this one is a keeper for both of us &#8211; and we got it on video.   Savvy travelers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Team 5 &#8211; &#8220;Team Gadling&#8221; Day three update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kent here. After days 1 and 2 and the uploading issues we had, I decided I couldn&#8217;t keep up the effort required to blog each days activities. It became too much to post the video, read the next day&#8217;s challenges and to check in with Gadling. So I&#8217;ll have reports from each day coming soon. [...]]]></description>

		<title>News Flash:Swizzle naked and living like Rock Star in Paris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Need we say more. The sauna challenge was right up the Swizzle&#8217;s alley. Nothing is better after a long day of banging out challenges than hanging with the French sopranos/gangstas in the super sweet, no chicks allowed mens steam palace. High on the Paris to-do list. Awesome to competitour across Europe with you all. Sincerely [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Round for Team Valley Girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Fortunately for us,  Judie&#8217;s cousin Marina lives in Paris and decided to accompany us on the day&#8217;s adventure.  We had decided to go to Reims to the Pommery Champagne headquarters &#8211; between the train ticket and the lunch, not an inexpensive choice but as it turned out, definitely worth it.  Dashing for the train, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slowing down in Paris&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alex and I wrapped up the competitive part of our the trip yesterday with a leisurely breakfast with Team Stimulus Package.  Then a visit to the Arc de Triomphe and about 700 steps round trip to the top.  CTN&#8217;s Skip HairGel did a traffic report from the top of Paris&#8217; busiest intersection. Continuing our Frite [...]]]></description>
