@justintim1999: Aww, I like that thought! For some reason, I still cannot bring myself to go retrieve it. Maybe I will wait another week or so.

@narcissa: Thank you! @cerberus1: Ooh, that is definitely a risk, you're right. I certainly would not place it somewhere THAT high-traffic such as the downtown core, though; way too many muggles! I'm thinking I would maybe try a newly-published cache, since the FTF hunters go wild for them in this area.

Hello, all! I was wondering if the following would be a breach in geocaching etiquette... I recently placed a travel bug in a nice, big cache that I thought would be perfect to help it fulfill its mission (it has to get to Texas from Ontario by August). Unfortunately, it has been a month and no one has found the cache after I did! The bug is just sitting there and with each passing day, I get more and more nervous that it will never make it in time. Do you guys think it would be rude to go and take it back, then place it in another cache that appears to have more traffic?

Wow! Thank you all for the great tips! I will definitely be putting my phone on airplane mode and hoping the offline lists I've saved will be enough to get me to the caches. I doubt I'll be able to do all seven (my family was all, YOU'RE CRAZY!!! YOU THINK WE'LL HAVE TIME TO STOP FOR YOU TO GO GEOCACHING?? They just don't understand me, sniff sniff...) but even one would make me so happy! We'll be gone for two weeks so there MUST be a chance to find something. I will provide an update when we get back. Leaving Friday the 16th. Please wish us luck (I have a crippling fear of flying and will be flying for the first time with my little ones so I have to fake excitement through my nausea)!

@niraD: Phone is Samsung Galaxy III and the app is just the official Geocaching App. @hzoi: Ha ha! I checked again and it's a micro, not a nano (whoops!), but here you go: GC4AJEK We're going to Mendoza.

Thank you guys so much! Do you think that if I set my phone to airplane mode (thereby turning off WiFi and data) but save some offline lists to the geocaching app, I might be able to cache safely without incurring crazy costs?

Hello, all! The family and I will be going to Argentina for two weeks at the end of the month. Out of curiosity, I checked to see if there were any caches in the town and there are seven!!! I am the only geocacher in the family (everyone else is either not interested or actually thinks it's a waste of time... I know... they're crazy, ha ha!) and am really hoping to find the time to look for at least one or two while we're there (apparently, there's a nano on the flagpole at the airport!). Here's the issue: I use the app on my smartphone to geocache and I am very nervous taking my phone over to Argentina from Canada due to possible hidden fees (my husband would lose his mind). I know he would not want me spending a lot of money on a handheld GPS. I think the most I *may* be able to convince him to let me spend is around $50-60. I looked on Kijiji and Craig's List and there is a Garmin eTrex Legend H for sale for around that price. My question to you guys is would it be worth it to purchase this on the off-chance that we'd be near a cache at some point? Is the unit any good? Thank you for any input!
