The Great Escape 2008 is Seeking Ultimate Adventurers

If you’re among the most curious travel-savvy Type-A globetrotters, the Great Escape 2008 might be for you. "Some have called our annual event the 'Olympics of Travel,' some refer to it as a 'A Blind Date with the World' because our travelers won’t have any foreknowledge as to what countries they’re going to until they’re on-board a 747 bound for parts unknown, and some have even called it a ‘Magical Mystery Tour," says the event director, William Chalmers. If you think you have what it takes to participate in this race, which also has a fund-raising goal of a million dollars for charities such as CARE, Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF, read Great Escapes 2008.
