UPDATE – WE HAVE A WINNER! CONGRATS TO UBU! See below for all the clues and the answer. Thanks for playing all and more contests to come via Twitter soon!
Hello everyone and thanks for taking part in this Escalation Map pack contest . The rules are very simple as is the contest – each day I will reveal a clue to help you find a particular item from Call of Duty: Black Ops. This is a Twitter contest so be sure to follow me, @powermacattack, to receive the clues. Each clue will build on the previous clues to help you narrow down the scope of the search and point you ultimately to the answer. The person who sends me a tweet, PM, or Xbox Live message first, with the correct answer, will win an Escalation Map code on May 3rd. It is that simple. Please see below for some back-story that may give you an insiders edge to winning this code – Good luck!
Back when I was in the service, my battle buddy was a kid named Anthony Porkins. He was a solid guy and a true brother in arms. Well we lost touch when I transferred to my new assignment with PCP and he was selected for SOG. Anyway, despite being separated, we would maintain contact with a few phone calls now and then, but mostly via the mail. Tony would always send me something from wherever he was stationed and it would help me to know where he was even if he couldn’t tell me. Likewise I did the same and it became a game for us, to try and figure out where the other one was.
Well I stopped getting letters from Tony about two month ago, so I need your help to find him so I can make sure he is OK. What I really need is his address, specifically his apartment number. I will work on decoding his last few letters and let you all know what I have found via Twitter. Use these clues to track him down and get me what I need. Stay frosty team as this is a covert op, no need to advertise what you are doing, trust me, others will be searching.
Thanks for the help, and remember the first person to get me the correct answer will not only have my gratitude, but I may have a code around here somewhere that I can give you.

Clues
#1 Last I heard he was heading to the Caribbean for some R&R.
#2 Paris of the Caribbean my ass, this place is in the middle of a revolution!
#3 Bus broke down on the way to Old Town, luckily right outside the Bolivar bar. I’ll grab a drink and ask if anyone knows Tony.
#4 OK, Heard he lives in an apartment over on San Rafael & Belascoain, time to walk up the street and see what I can find.
#5 I think I found the building but no apartment numbers on any of the doors. I wonder if it would be on his mailbox?
TONY’S APARTMENT IS #3 ( take a look at the mailboxes outside and there he is! )
Ubu was the first to respond via a Twitter message on April 26 at 6:36 PM. Next was Paulywog via PM on April 27 at 2:07 PM and coming in third was CleverError via Twitter on April 27 at roughly 7PM ( 18 hours ago is what Twitter says ).
Again bug thanks to all those who played and I hope you had a good time!
