Now that's an original response! Thank you Myrtha (Antonio's mom) for that insight! But she was sitting here in Times Square with such a huge grin plastered on her face I had to take a picture of her!

These are our happiness ambassadors in Times Square who are helping people get their picture up on the big Coca-Cola screen, telling the world what makes them happy. The most unusual answers they got so far are : pomegranate, salsa dancing and summer camp (the guy was well over his twenties)

Meet Maddy and Alexis, two very VERY excited young girls. They are about to attend a concert of a lifetime at Madison Square Garden. There was almost no need to ask them about happiness - just look at those grinning faces!

There is a lot of happiness going on in front of Madison Square Garden where crazed teenage fans are getting hyped up for a huge concert! Tony and Antonio seem a bit lost among the young female crowd!

We're asking people to make the world smile and do something funny on camera. Lisa here gave us a succession of her silliest faces.

Meet Joan, the winner of our US Coke bottle contest. She won a trip to New York and her bottle will be displayed at the World of Coke in Atlanta.

Lori from North Oaks, Minnesota is in New York to celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary. She didn't expect to have her picture on a big screen in Times Square today! We're asking what makes people happy and sending it straight to the big screen. Lori said 'good food'

I met this just-turned-13-awesome-girl who is hanging out in New York with her family for her birthday. She let me sign her cool pink cast and in exchange I sang her 'happy birthday'.

This lovely lady Diane said that it's the beautiful colors of the sea and the sky and all the surroundings that brings Bahamians happiness. She told me that the tourists are so happy to swim in the bay here because it's so clear. But the Bahamians thinks it's too polluted. They know better spots where it's even clearer. They say you should be able to see a nickel at the bottom and decipher whether it's heads or tails.

Our flying lunchbox was flying nice and low so the views were amazing! We could actually see the corral in the sea quite clearly as we flew over. (If only I could get Tony to look at it instead of praying for his life)

Now THIS is officially the smallest commercial airplane we've been on. Six seats, one pilot and one fun experience! (but Tony didn't look too happy)

Another special welcome awaited us in Santa Domingo. The music was fun and people randomly started to dance around them. We created our own impromptu party in the airport!

The island of Dominica is covered with virgin jungle. It's the greenest place I have ever seen. It's no surprise they filmed all the jungle scenes of Pirates Of the Caribbean here. Arr!

If you're on a beach in Aruba don't be surprised if a bunch of flamingos come strolling towards you. Also don't jump if you see a giant iguana chilling in the sun. This place is filled with nature and animals all around.

A very special welcome awaited us the airport of Papeete. Some Polynesian dancers gave us a great show. The girls swing their hips so fast it looks like their buttocks have a mind of their own.

What happens when we get bored on a long flight? Well in Tony's case it's playing with his food. He didn't like the look of the spongy square on his tray so instead of eating it he turned it into a turtle monster. Here he is trying to tame it.

Tahitians are crazy about water sports. Surfing, sailing, jet skiing... Anything that happens on or in the sea. And with a sea as great as this it's quite normal. We got to try out some 'paddling' which basically consists standing on a board (not as easy as it looks cos its hard to keep your balance) with a paddle. In a typical family house you will find boards and paddles of all shapes and sizes.

We were invited to a school where the kids gave us a wonderful welcome. They performed for us and even composed their own Coca-Cola song for us. It goes something like :"Coca-Cola is our favorite drink, we love Coca-Cola"
The people here tend to be very shy. They had to drag the first performers out. But after a while they grew more comfortable with us and were keen on sharing their culture and many talents. We had a lot of fun!

On m'a dit qu'ici le bonheur c'est de partir en excursion le weekend avec famille et/ou amis faire le tour des îlots. Forcément nous étions obligés d'en faire l'expérience pour vivre le vrai bonheur calédonien. Un bateau, un îlot, un picnic, de la compagnie. Il n'en faut pas plus.

We were greeted at the airport by an impressive welcome ceremony. The traditions in Tonga are still very much alive and their culture well preserved. The women danced to a traditional welcome song.

We met this cool social media addict, Emilie, that has been living in Auckland for 3 years.

No I am not sitting in the cockpit. This is just the view from my passenger seat on this commercial flight to American Samoa. If I stretch my legs I could touch the controls with my feet. I guess this is first class! I'm close enough to play peek-a-boo with the pilot! I won't though...

This is the smallest plane we have been on so far on our travels. It's definitely the smallest commercial plane I have ever seen. It barely fits 18 people squashed together for a 30 minute flight to American Samoa. I guess I won't expect any drink trolleys coming down the isle on this on!

This lady tells us how the Tongan people are always friendly. Everyone and anyone will always smile at you whether you're a stranger or not. We did indeed experience this. It is not for nothing that it's called the 'friendly islands'.

In Istanbul we met up with Zeynep, a Expedition 206 finalist we met at the interviews week, and her husband Jo. They play host for us and showed us around the city. The place is amazing. It's got a great vibe. You can easily understand why this awesome couple chose to live here!
