Status:

Team Members:

Additional Members:

Sarah, Anne, Annette & Other Random Operatives

Mission Description:

• To make sure I didn´t miss my flight at 8am this morning from Buenos Aires to Iguacu Falls
• Involved everyone on Alpha Team & Beta Team had to stay awake until the end to complete the mission
• Eating, drinking and socialising were just a few of the many hurdles that had to be overcome to complete this challenging task

Mission Outcome:

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the mission was a success. I didn´t get any sleep last night and made my flight. At approximately 5:29am on Sunday May 14th 2005, the primary person was safely dispatched into a taxi, and was last seen speeding away in the direction of the airport. The crazyness of the driver wasn´t factored into the mission plan however. The driver turned on the taxi lights, put the radio on full blast and weaved the car from side to side while doing about 100km in the lashing rain were all done in order to prevent the subject from nodding off, even when the mission was over.

But at 7:35am, I fell asleep on the couch by Gate 2 in Ezeiza Airport, Buenos Aires awaiting flight PZ713 and was awoken by an air hostess!

However, there were a few notable person´s who went AWOL, namely Kate, Matteo, Ben & Omar. But they have an excuse. We were in some random part of Buenos Aires at a drag queen show, when we decided to leave that and go elsewhere, to a place some of us never found. At the end of it all, Alpha & Beta Team got separated. Alpha Team, comprising Tor, Sarah & Ciaran were model soldiers and should be awarded multiple military medals!

Idiot´s Mission Summary:

I didn´t go to sleep last night at all, but passed out on the couch in the airport waiting to board. I did however, get a good sleep on the plane. You kinda had to be out last night to get the importance of the mission and how the Alpha & Beta Teams were set up.

If you find this sad and a stupid story, then you~re just jealous that you´re not travelling around South America!

My other excuse is that I´m delerious with no sleep, so even though I find this funny, it´s probably nowhere near funny. Feel free to leave comments to that affect!
