Where would you have The Amazing Race go?

They started in Vegas, ended up in SanFran, if you designed The Amazing Race, where would you take them?

I'll post my idea later

Few places I would like them to go: Pakistan, Iraq, Marquesas Island and Hawaii (Island hopping to all the islands).

I would like to see the final leg to be a cross-country drive from California to New York. It would be even better if they are required to hitch rather than drive.

I would try and make the race truly amazing.

They start in their home towns, wherever they are from. Their first goal is to get to Lima, Peru without any sort of flight whatsoever. They can take buses, drive, whatever.

From Lima, Peru, they would need to get to Tierra del Fuego, to a certain point that is in the middle of nowhere. They would be given the coordinates and that is all. They are allowed to hire guides at that point, but they aren't appointed a guide.

From Tierra del Fuego, they then must go to Brazil. In Brazil, they will find the Amazon River. Their goal is to swim across the Amazon River by any means necessary. So if they find a skinny spot to swim across it, that works.

Then they must go back North to Canada. This time the only way they can use to get there is a motorcycle. This includes passing through dangerous Colombia.

Once in Canada, they get jobs as timber workers and cut down 100 trees on their job. They wouldn't be given some sort of fluff job or something, part of the show is actually getting a job.

Then they would have to journey down to Minnesota and float down to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi. Along the way there will be certain tasks to perform, such as getting beeds in New Orleans, etc.

From the Gulf of Mexico, they must take a boat to Iceland by on their own accord. Once in Island they must find the birthplace of Bjork.

Then they will go into Europe. They'll have to do things like climb the Eiffel Tower naked without getting arrested.

Lastly they will journey to the Middle East. It is there where it could be most difficult. They must do things like sneak into Israel without being noticed, possibly while naked. Also they'll need to broker a peace deal between Palestine and Israel that involves Palestine not being recognized as a souveriegn nation and involves Israel to change its official religion to Islamic.

Then they have to come back to the US on a paddle boat and winning 10,000 at Vegas using only 5 dollars. The thing is, I didn't say 10,000 what. That's the trick.

Don't worry, I usually don't take people who don't use proper capitalization seriously.
