We are in Namibia until January. Do you think a tb would get this far from MN by then? We are in Windhoek, so any cache sorta nearby would be fine. If I get it I'll direct it back to you or to wherever you want.

Travel bugs travel at widely different rates. Sometimes they can't make it across town in a year, othertimes they can cross the Atlantic and reach their goal in days.
Personally I don't think it's realistic to figure that a TB will ever reach it's goal if it requires airline travel, although naturally some do. That's just my POV. _________________ Hmm... |

If it takes longer, we could get someone here to send it on.
I should have posted this in January when we got here.

Why don't you make a TB and see if it can get back to MN before you do? _________________ "We never seek things for themselves-what we seek is the very seeking of things"-Pascal |

That's a great suggestion! You then have a fair amount of control over it's final destination once you're back - it can take as long as it needs to make the trip.. _________________ Hmm... |

I don't have a TB and right now we don't have a credit or debit card as ours got eaten by an ATM. (We cash checks at the Embassy.) But yes, I've thought of that.
