Gauging Interest for Challenge Aruba as Final Team Race of 2017
Challenge Aruba on OCT 22, 2017...
Talking with Challenge Aruba about making that race our final team race of 2017. They have some really awesome and crazy affordable packages available for their partner teams.
I would only want to do this if it could be a Baucco Squad / TRS family vacation. I would race, we could try to get Ben down there to cover the race and party. We could all stay in same hotel and organize some super fun stuff leading into the race and of course after the race.
Just gauging initial interest.... Anyone potentially interested?

How many people do you need to pull this off and what's the timetable for making a decision?
This sounds like an awesome trip, would love to be able to swing it this year, but as others have said, if it goes well I think it could be a cool annual trip.

The packages need to be booked by Feb 1, BUT if you just email them, I am sure they will work with everyone. They can also alter and change packages based on everyone''s needs. So you guys can bring your wife/husband, or your whole family, or even travel alone. If you want to stay longer they, they can work with you on that as well...
I will personally be there racing and am planning to stay a few days after for end of season vacation. Ben may be there as well.
This is going to be an awesome end to the season!!! Hoping a bunch of people join.
**If you are going, don't forget to update calendar on team website. If we get a big group, we will DEFINITELY move some of the budget to this race.

I'm on a quest this year to do 17 things I've never done before... naked triathlon... hmmm...
I could get behind this.
THE IDEA. I MEANT THE IDEA!
I found it surprising how commercialized (read North Americanized) it was. Their only exports are aloe vera and refined Venezuelan oil so they bring in everything from the mainland which makes some things pricey however they advertise that they have the best duty free products around. After my visit there I actually tried to get a job at the power plant and the water treatment plant just because the place was so awesome. Alas they didn't
recognize my qualifications so I'm stuck in Edmonton. Queue up the sad violin music.
