    Re: Curacao Treasure Hunt

    I am very excited for you - and a little jealous too!  PLEASE let us know all about your trip.  I don't know if this will help you or not but can you remember any of the questions they asked?  I don't know if there was a clue in the questions or not but it's a start.  One of the first questions was about the first synagogue was located in Curaco. I don't remember the others but maybe some other members do.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Oh Boy! Spring is here

    Re: Curacao Treasure Hunt

     I will be praying for you!! i am thinking God may have chosen you, not just luck or numbers. Be prepared as you can and sharpen up on your map skills and Curacao maps. Also try to find out what you can about the place, languages spoken there, etc... If you win and are a Christian give glory to God so others may see. 

    some tips to take with you

    Practice. Figure out a way to practice. find some info online with Treasure hunt questions, maps, tips.

    Don't panic. "When you're trying something you've never done before, most people find themselves really hyper about being in a situation that's out of control," says Joyce, who watched the show prior to appearing on it. "We learned not to get so excited about everything because there are going to be a lot of new things coming at you all the time."

    Never share a taxi with a stranger (especially at the airport)

    Wear pants. "They're protection against mosquitoes, fleas, dog bites, snakebites.... 

    Schedules are subject to interpretation. Go with the flow.

    Always act the guest. If you're respectful of your foreign hosts and try to see things through their eyes, you'll most likely find that you'll be treated hospitably.

    Get to know your opponents. One reason is so you would be albe to spot them if you aren't sure where to go next in your race for the prize. 

     

    Thats all i could come up with. If someone else has ideas please post. Good Luck and Hope to hear you won!

     I was touched by your story and will be with you in both prayer and spirit.  You go girl!  I think it's safe to say the ST family is behind you.  Let us know, won't you?

    Re: Curacao Treasure Hunt

    Sueanne, I really hope that you win the $500,000.  You deserve something nice with all that you have been through.  Take Helen Hadsell's advise:  Select, project, expect, and collect.  Google Helen Hadsell's name and read about this remarkable lady. Good luck!!!
