I currently have one more icon to get in the flyover part.  Any ideas on what I might have missed.  I may need to find a map online.

I also have about 47 more white balloons to get.

One missing icon could be anywhere. Good luck with finding it.

I think I have around 150 white balloons left to find.

i played this game for the first time last night.  after skydiving on the island, i naturally chose to play table-tennis (a sport i love in real life and something i couldn't wait to get to try as a means of testing the motion plus.)  it's great fun and seriously addictive but maybe a bit easy (or it just maybe very true to life and i'm just too good!!!).  after just a handful of games i was over level 1000 and had entered the pro tournament mode.  i also tried the return mode.  i make a point of playing this mode using just forehand strikes and applying spin accordingly.  i hit most of those bottle targets as well within 2-3 attempts.  my hi-score so far ... 156!  i'm not so pleased about that and i will look to improve on it as soon as i get the chance

Welcome to Wii Sports Resort, Bugsy! 

Yeah, those table tennis games are seriously addictive. Sounds like you're a lot better at it than I am. I've played it for a week, and I still haven't hit level 1000 yet. I think I'm around 600+ at the moment.

Good to see you finally got  chance to play, Bugs.  I love the return game on table tennis but my highest score is only 108.  I'll make 200 someday.  What do you think of the other games?  Did you get a chance to play them?

haven't tried anything besides table-tennis so far.  did the return challenge again right now ... i'm on 309.  couldn't believe i lost it then.  i got a stamp for going to 200 but there doesn't seem to be one for 300.  hmmm looks like i'll have to go over 500 next

I finally, finally, after two weeks got the last icon tonight.  Now there is about twenty white balloons left.

My wife has started shooting the fruit during the archery stage.  Does anyone know if you have to ge tthem all through one playthrough or can you get one at a time?

Everyone seems to love the archery--I was a bit bored by it.

I'm still in the 1300 range.  Your table tennis skills are unparalleled.

Got there last night, and it's a big difference between her and the match before.  The last person I beat before her I won 6-1, but couldn't win against Lucia; though my controller was acting up.

still haven't beaten lucia, though my table-tennis game has improved vastly and i'm developing new shots all the time.  each single point though is so hard won against her.  so many times i have her on the ropes with smash after smash and she's more like a goal keeper than a table-tennis player then instead of my finishing the point off she'll manage to come back and blast a shot to the opposite side of where i was logically expecting it and win it.  i hate her.

i have a new hi-score on the return challenge.  361!  i lost it quite cheaply in the end and was a bit annoyed.  i also got a new stamp labeled "can do" but i'm not sure what it was for, maybe for hitting many of those target cans

table-tennis is enough for me to love this game already, and i've barely scratched the surface.  i think we can say that without a doubt that wii-mote with wmp have taken interactivity in video games to the next level

Awesome job, bugs!

I need to play more table tennis. I haven't played it in a week or so now. I've spent most of my time playing Wakeboarding, Powerboarding, Frisbee, Frisbee Golf, and Airplane.

i said i would stop with table tennis after beating lucia ... i lied.  so after lucia you keep leveling up and playing opponents some of which are hard but none are harder than lucia (at least not noticeably so).  

i got two stamps i was missing for table tennis (i think they were the last two.  had to look up what i needed  to do.)  one required drawing a game, and the game is declared a draw when the score gets to 20-20, so i had to deliberately lose one point for every point i won.  the other was in the return challenge and it required returning over 100 balls without once hitting the server.  this was pretty hard as he takes up a good bit of space and is very easy to hit by mistake.

then i thought i'd try frisbee.  found it very difficult at first but i did ok for the one round i played.  i got the "practice makes perfect" and the "flying catch" stamps.
