Part of me wonders if I wouldn’t have had more fun being able to talk to my friends. From a teammate and I holding onto each other (and the package) for dear life as our cart careened down the street towards our destination, to figuring out how to load and fly a helicopter across a river, I had an absolute blast figuring stuff out.
