Team Armchair Travelers

[Plethora]

Finally got into the spreadsheet to update for next stop.

Interesting stadium design



Destination: JAPAN

TASK: Read a book that is in the "Favorite books from my childhood" Listopia List.

I have some logged on the spreadsheet but didn't go and reference the list # yet. Its almost 1am and my alarm goes off at 4:20.....

Countdown clock: Stop 6

[Zeni]

So how is everyone? It's been super quiet. Does anyone think they would want to do the third leg of this journey? I know some of you have Wobble coming up, and with how quiet it's been I was thinking that maybe we should just finish this one. I also want to know because I'm trying to plan out my next few reads and am hoping to slash through my tbr list.

[Michelle]

1. Are we able to go with the spell out option for this last one?

[❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ]

I'm probably not going to continue, I think that 2 trips is enough for me.

[Plethora]

Sorry, I was super busy this weekend. I do have the book finish for this stop.

[Plethora]

If we can find one from Michelle that is on the list we would have 7 members for the detour for 40 points.

Did you have one of your read books on the list of favorites.

[Michelle]

Nope, but I can get that done by today.

[Michelle]

Finished with The Pokey Little Puppy.

I love this book!

[Michelle]

Does anyone else want to continue with me?

[Plethora]

We still have one stop on this trip.

I can stick around. I'm planning on reading all sort of whatever in the next few months, so I'm sure some of my books will easily fill multiple challenges.

[Plethora]

Well, aside from Jesse, who hasn't checked in, in ages, it is just me to finish a 1st in series book. I had one but used it for last weeks tour instead of what I was thinking I might read for it. I have some others one deck that I can read this week.

[Plethora]

I finished my book, but won't get to spreadsheet until later today.

OOPS, looks like I didn't do a proper update for the next leg.

I noted in Message 511 that we had one stop, followed by Message 512 where I noted who had already read a book for task, First Book in a Series.

So we still have about 4 days to see how many would be interested in continuing.

[Zeni]

I am interested in continuing as well.

[Plethora]

I did finish my book just didn't get over here to post. Had a long tiring weekend.

[Plethora]

I updated the spreadsheet for the final stop.

Looks like we would need to inquire for hitchhikers to continue with another leg.

[Zeni]

So does anyone know how many hitchhikers we need?

[Michelle]

Zeni wrote: "So does anyone know how many hitchhikers we need?"

I know I want to play next round.

[Plethora]

I think it is about 4-5 for maximum points. If max points isn't a big deal less would work.

Do I have this correct for people willing to continue?

[Michelle]

Yes for me

[Plethora]

We need 4 members to earn any points for detours.

[Jim]

May I join? I finished my first itinerary with Team Reading Roamers.

Jim

[Zeni]

I'd say yes

[NBRC Travel Agent]

Hi team
There has been a lot of activity on the hitchhiker thread. Just wanted to confirm your team is still looking for players?

[Zeni]

It's been a quiet week

[Michelle]

I think quite a few people are playing wobble and that seems like a full time job in itself.

[Plethora]

Sorry, I've been at a conference past few days. But I'm still around.

[Keli]

Hi all. I was directed here by a travel agent, are you in need of another player?

[Michelle]

Hi Keli,

We are in need of another player. I think we may be waiting for another player to join us.

[Keli]

Do you mean someone previous to my inquiry? Or another player along with me? If you do have a space for me and would like me to join just tell me how to proceed. I read the rules but there were a lot and, as I'm coming into this quite a ways in, I'm not 100% on what's going on. But I love reading so just point me in the right direction. :-)

[Plethora]

Hi Keli, we have room for you.

Hey team. This would put us at four..

We could go ahead and start the next leg by requesting a new iteniary and if we get more we get more. Thoughts?

[Plethora]

Keli, right now we are between legs so you aren't missing anything at the moment. Posting here that you wish to join is all you needed to do on that part. Once we request our next trip we get the reading goals to pick from.

[Zeni]

Is Jim still joining?

Cool. I shall wait and check back.

I'm good with 4 if everyone else is?

Is anyone here doing wobble by any chance?

On the next leg of the journey will we be using books we have previously read for spell outs or do we just start fresh?

[Zeni]

I'm good with 4 as well.

[Plethora]

4 is fine for me. We aren't really racing for points with this challenge like other team challenges since this one is a lot more laid back. It gives those that didn't want to commit to Wobble a place to still do something though.

@Michelle - I am doing Wobble.

That is what we did with the last itinerary, task new books since we started newest trip, but spell-outs could be from books read since we started as a team.

If we are ready I'll request new itinerary now.

[Plethora]

To keep the spreadsheet a little cleaner I copied the information for the 1st leg trip onto one tab so we only had one for history of the information, but didn't think we needed to keep three separate tabs.

I don't want to actually delete data, just not have the archived info spread out as much.

I also HID the other travelers sheets that are no longer on the trip. Just makes it easier to filter what we want, but if any want to rejoin we can easily unhide their tab.

[Plethora]

@ Keli - I added a tab for you, feel free to rename and customize to how you want it to look!

[Jim]

Good morning!

I'll still join, if you'll have me. I don't know from whom I'll need approval.

Jim

[Zeni]

So with Jim that makes 5

[Zeni]

Also what about the books that we read and added after the second leg? Will we count those for the detours or just spell it out?

[Plethora]

I have requested a new leg from the mods, so once I receive I will let everyone know.

@Jim - yes, you may join. I have added a tab on the spreadsheet, feel free to rename and customize as you see fit.

Spreadsheet link. The link can also be found in Message Two of the thread for easy finding later.

@Zeni - we can decide how we want to handle previous books read.

[Jim]

Currently reading The Invisible Man which I started yesterday.

[Keli]

Thanks, A Bookworm Reading (Plethora) .
I look forward to the challenge.

[Michelle]

When do we start?

[Catherine]

Heard you're looking for help here :)

[Zeni]

Hopefully soon, but I just checked the itinerary and it's still blank.

Yay! With Catherine that makes 6!

[Jim]

Hi Catherine!

Jim

[Marianna]

Are you still looking for help?
