Ok... So this clue will be on a cloud, I understand that... This cloud is on a blogspot, speaking about vacation... The Ermily Parker's vacation, wich happen at the beach, on a boat...

But what have I to enter in my address bar ?
"Emily Parker’s cloud during Summer Vacation At the beach on the far boat blogspot.com" ? --> I arrive on lots of link under Google...
"+ .blogspot.com" ? --> It asked me to subsribe into blogspot...

Is the fact that i'm using Firefox change anything ? And the fact that i have french pages on blogspot ? And the fact that i'm using google.be ?

I must admit that 'Emily Parker' did not ring a bell for me, and googling "Emily Parker Summer Vacation Far Boat" pointed me at a series of kids books (Kate Pepper) and a rather conservative blog on blogspot (katiepepper).

But taking the hint from spiralstairs above helped - have followed all instructions now, hopefully smile.

Not excessively, it's mostly my overinflated pride whining at being lessened somewhat.

I like to think I have the ingenuity to 'go it alone', unaided etc etc...

Fact is I'm just not on the ball enough to spot these things.

That and I've never been that interested in MobileMe.

lol I just don't want to admit that your hint was necessary. smile

It probably won't ring a bell to folks like me who know virtually nothing about Mobile Me and who haven't kept up with the iPhone Culture (because we have no chance in hell of affording an iPhone nor the service).

But.. thank you for the clue, cuz that made all the difference!

squawky also gives an important clue.

Actually, I'd say 'thanks bensor!' - this one was kinda fun, and a good warmup for the heists to come (like doing a little 100 meter sprint right before the big marathon...)

You can still do the heist. Just scroll down to the bottom when you get to the blogspot page.

Woohoo!  Number 7 solving it.  I guess it may have helped if I had remembered to give my Forum name in the email I sent.

I have to say that without the hints I'd have been totally lost.

Ok, I think I'm stumped... I know almost nothing about MobileMe, never mind Emily Parker, whom I just found out about thanks to the various hints here.
I suppose no MobileMe-Account is needed to solve this?

I'd greatly appreciate the proverbial nudge...

Best regards
