Where in the World are Robb & Elissa??? 2012 Edition!

[vuurvogel]

The love boat connection would not be that this cnn article has anything to do with it. Because of a fertility drop in Singapore Dr Wei Siang Yu started a program called the 'Love Boat'. Bit of a weird program but you two don't need it do you?

The obvious guess with Love Boat is that you're taking Princess Cruises. However, the only boat I'd believe you could go on would be Legend of the Seas on a 4 night cruise.

Love Boat Singapore reference?

 

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/sailing/02/05/loveboat.reut/index.html

 

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- A night of romance on the high seas, away from the stresses and strains of modern life. It may sound like a recipe for love.

 

In Singapore, it's a matter of survival.

 

Alarmed by a drop in the island-state's fertility rates, Dr Wei Siang Yu has launched a programme of fertility seminars accompanied by a boat cruise and a night at a holiday resort -- all designed to put couples in the mood.

 

Wei, founder of health promotion company Meggpower, calls it his "Love Boat" package.

 

"What we want to do is to alleviate stress."

 

But it doesn't come cheap. Couples must fork out S$1,000 (US$580 dollars) for the fertility programme.

 

"Massages, nutrition, aphrodisiacs, we are talking about music, we are talking about aromatherapy, and we're talking about health education programmes," the self-styled sex guru said.

You guys are in Singapore in order to make another baby.

This is NOT the clue...but nice try!

Nope!

I liked the Fantasy Island tie in someone mentioned before... How about, the name of the Love boat was Pacific Princess. Singapore is in the Pacific Ocean.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Other than you "Setting a Course for Adventure" I can't think of any Love Boat reference.

 

I certainly hope you don't have "Your mind on a new romance".

 

 

If you were into sports I'd say it would maybe be this?

From Season 1 episode

 

The Old Man and the Runaway/The Painters/A Fine Romance

Will Geer is pitch perfect as the irascible old gentleman who finds a fifteen-year-old girl who is a stowaway in his bathroom. There is lots of banter between he and the scamp Bayn Johnson. One of Julie's brother's friends, is looked at with interest by Julie, no longer a young scamp herself with braces. His cabin mate is an older Lothario urging him to put the moves on Julie. Julie arranges two "professional" painters to paint the Captain's suite to his favorite longed-for color Singapor Sunset Saffron.

I did learn that Ann B. Davis is still alive in my quest to find a Love Boat connection.

And now for some more clues.... This will be the final set of clues for this leg of the trip! (Oh, wait, there is more than one stop???) I will give you a clue on these clues.... there is a clue in the photos... What does that mean? I'm not sure! You'll figure it out! Make sure you see ALL the clues!

Where in the world is this???

How fancy! Piers would love this!

This place looks nice...

"Here we are at our ghetto hotel!"

"As you can see the room is very small. Going to be cramped in here for the next ??? day/days"

Hooray! The bathroom has a boo hole!

There is nothing exciting going on here...keep moving.

We were given one of these. Which end do I use?!?!?

I'm impressed with the input options!

And our final clue (or is it???) for this part of the contest. Someone tell me...

Well, this is where you are. The Fruit looking thing looks like the hotel a bit I guess.

Okay I guess I will give this a shot. most of the airport pics are of their layovers while they are at the actual airports (Atlanta, spain or Brazil, Tokyo) and of course the starting airport of Orlando "MCO". There are 2 photos that have been bothering me but I think I have figured them out, the Vegas picture and the Love Boat picture. It is obvious that they are in Tokyo, the vending machine with the Japanese water and drinks, the photo with Elissa holding the McD's frys and the Japanese sign strategically placed in the background and Robb holding his favorite McD's treat that is availiable in Japan. The picture that has bothered me the most is of Vegas (YAY Vegas), it wouldn't be a picture of where they "are" so that ruled out Vegas, I started thinking New York but ruled that out when they arrived at a spanish airport for a layover. It was bothering me until it finally clicked that it was a picture of "The Roller Coaster" built by TOGO. TOGO was a manufacturer based out of Japan and this "Japan" clue was well before they had their layover so that told me they were going to Japan (also the picture of a "big rock" out in the middle of the water... like an island, Japan is an island, hmm). Now Robb has been posting pictures of movies... Universal Studios produced movies which everyone has immediately thought Universal Studios in Singapore but because I am going to Osaka in September I was thinking Universal Studios Japan. This led me to think are there cruises (love boat reference) out of Osaka??? well no, Osaka is too far inland BUT, DIND DING DING, Universal Studios Japan does still have a working... wait for it, Jaws - the ride featuring Captain Jakes Amity boat tours and it seems that alot of people were upset that Universal Studios Orlando closed their version that Robb and Elissa are going to get a video of the Japanese version. I think that the picture of a cartoon character might be from the que of Space Fantasy the ride, I tried to find a video of the que online but I could not. Hopefully I have this correct but either way, right or wrong, I hope that the Alvey family enjoys their vacation.

[the ghost]

^^ I think he's got it... Singapore! I googled the hotel and found an image of the black statues in your photo.

[robbalvey]

There are 2 photos that have been bothering me but I think I have figured them out, the Vegas picture and the Love Boat picture.

There are probably the only two *real* clues that I posted. Someone figured out the Love Boat one, do you know why I posted the Vegas one?

 

Anyone who would have been able to figure out those to pictures, specifically, would have been able to decode where we were going.

^It wasn't because Sentosa Resorts is a gambling mecca?

 

 

How about this for a love boat answer- While the Love Boat used exterior shots of a real ship, The actual show was filmed on Universal Studios lot.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Only thing I can come up with the Vegas picture:

 

Universal Singapore -

New York = NY/NY Hotel and Casino

Ancient Egypt = Luxor

Hollywood = MGM Grand

[Rastuso]

As for where else you are going, I think you are going to Trans Studio Indoor Theme Park in Indonesia, which is a scary place. But the Premier launch coaster is a big lure, I guess. The recent TR for that park is where you said you might be visiting, soon. This is why I knew you were hitting Singapore, and I posted that days ago, but the post was deleted, saying it was a guess with nothing to back it up. That clue in your post to the TR thread was the only clue I needed, Saturday morning. I knew where you were going before the contest even started.

 

[Vader voice]All too easy.[/Vader voice]

Each one of the vegas pictures represents a section of Universal Singapore. And Zookeeper movie pic relates to the Madagascar section of Universal.

 

I've written out all my guesses, I just need to type it up, but It'll be too late for that I think.

well no, Osaka is too far inland BUT, DIND DING DING, Universal Studios Japan does still have a working... wait for it, Jaws - the ride featuring Captain Jakes Amity boat tours and it seems that alot of people were upset that Universal Studios Orlando closed their version that Robb and Elissa are going to get a video of the Japanese version.
