Hello, everyone; ... Mind if I introduce a new subject? Recently we've been going through Grandma's belongings, and of course talking about many favorite aspects of her life. One thing that I have enjoyed hearing about is her traveling. She and Grandpa had traveled around the world, every continent save for Antarctica - and she kept travel journals of everywhere they went! I love that sort of thing, and although my travels are mostly in the USA these days (I think I've been in 20 states.), and I'd like to offer a 'family member' the opportunity for some adventure along those lines. To do that I've come up with what I hope will be a fun idea, and I'd love some input from my list friends!
I have "Regal" the Beanie Baby Cavalier (only *mine* has the Blenheim lozenge on her head!) and I was thinking that I'd take her to Florida (via the La$ Vega$ airport) next month when a friend and I get away for some R&R. I was planning on taking some photographs of "Traveler" (and maybe even one with me in it!) as we explore Disneyworld, Epcot, Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, etc; and then sometime during our last day I wanted to pass her on to a likely-looking and sounding family that I'll guess to be a foreign guest to the USA. I would explain the situation, and ask if they'd like to take Traveler with them, take photos of her in another country (their home, or any other place they are traveling), send the photographs to me, and then pass her on to some other travelers. It would be fun to see just how many places she could go to, and how long her journey might be! Maybe it'd never end!! I was thinking that if I could find one of those "shrinky-dink" dog tags I could write the message and webpage address on it, and affix it to Traveler so that information wouldn't get lost. Maybe I could even laminate a few "business cards" with the same information, and hope that would get passed along with Traveler. What do you all think? Have any of you ever done something like that? I think it'd be fun, and would love to take the risk that others would think it a fun way to bring our global community closer! Being the shy, quiet, <ahem> reserved person that I am, I'm pretty sure I could approach a total stranger to ask if they'd want to participate, and then hope they could do the same thing. Any ideas there? cheers, Sandra http://www.DarkStarFamily.com/Traveler.htm <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dark Star Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - They'll drive you happy! <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.DarkStarFamily.com/cavaliers.htm Opinions expressed are my own, & are no sillier than yours! c2002 ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
