+Laval K-9 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 I received some very spooky stuff from Tique. A cute card along a very nice Day of the Dead geocoin, a Travel Tag, a pin and some delicious chocolate. Thanks Linda for such cool gifts! Quote Link to comment

+Strombus Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) It seems that my mission is the last one out of her four, that sweetlife has not received. None of my mail has ever got lost in the past and I mailed it on October 6th, so I really cannot imagine what could have happened to it. :-( It was just a regular size (small) envelope. I am sorry that was all I have sent: a card, a coin, and a pathtag. Well, I guess, now that it is lost, I could say I sent a huge parcel with tons of geocacher goodies in it, besides a Mount10Bike coin. But I did not. So I am hoping in may be lying around somewhere, unnoticed because of its insignificance, and will turn up. But how long do we wait? I assume I send another one if it does not show up. Also, it was sweetlife, who sent me a mission. Thank you very much for all the Halloween trickets, the pretty Montana souvenirs, and the Dutch pathtag. It was fun to open the parcel and find all these unexpected items. My son, and geocacher pal ate the gummy candies, I took the spider and put it in one of my caches that had to be replaced. I am sure some kid will be very happy with that. I love the card the most. It is really cute. Thank you, sweetlife. Edited November 3, 2016 by Strombus Quote Link to comment

+Laval K-9 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Still waiting for their missions to arrive sweetlife #1 sweetlife #4 kini_ont Keeping my fingers crossed that they will receive them in a few days. Let's not send replacement missions right away, it's still a bit early to give up hope Edited November 3, 2016 by Laval K-9 Quote Link to comment

+sweetlife Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I received a Halloween Mission today from JPBARR. Thank You So Much. You really brightened my day 😉 Quote Link to comment
+Laval K-9 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm so glad to see that one of the 3 pending missions arrived today. Still waiting for their missions to arrive: sweetlife #4 kini_ont Both are coming from very far away, by boat probably. That would explain the delay Quote Link to comment
+Strombus Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If mine never arrives to sweetlife, I will mail out a new one. But I would like to do that in December, when I am in the States for two weeks. That also gives time to my coin to show up in the meantime. Quote Link to comment

+Laval K-9 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I feel bad since 2 missions are still pending but I would like to know if I should go ahead with a Christmas mission Waiting to see if people are interested Quote Link to comment
+Strombus Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I would like to participate in the Christmas mission. And I will be in the US between December 6th and 20th, so it does not have to be international shipping if I happen to send/receive from someone in the US. But if it is always the same people participating, it is less fun. We should invite more people to join, don't you think? It is more work for you then, more but more variety, more fun. I assume people from various geocoiner Facebook groups would be happy to join if they knew about it. Edited November 9, 2016 by Strombus Quote Link to comment

I assume people from various geocoiner Facebook groups would be happy to join if they knew about it. Last year we had 31 people participating for a total of 39 missions. I don't mind having more participants as long as I don't get hundreds of them I will start a new topic very soon and hopefully many people will join. What I like is when I see newcomers participate. Besides posting here in this forum I also write about the mission on two geocaching groups I belong to on facebook. Any ideas where I could also talk about it? Feel free to announce it on groups you belong to or friends that might be interested Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Not sure why my package to Kini_ont did not arrive Let me know when I should send a replacement. Quote Link to comment
+Laval K-9 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Don't think that I forgot about the ones which didn't receive their mission I'll get in touch with all parties involved and see what the next step will be Quote Link to comment
+kini_ont Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Not sure why my package to Kini_ont did not arrive Let me know when I should send a replacement. If there were any sweets in the package Border Security maybe looking at it a little more closer and that would delay it so don't send a replacement yet. Quote Link to comment

I always put sweets or chocolate in my packages but why would that hold them up at customs? After watching the show Boarder Patrol I've learned that bad people stick some bad stuff into anything they can get their hands on including candy, statues and coffee. But don't stop sending sweets because of that they just xray and sometimes have to take a small sample to test (though I've never had one opened on me) Quote Link to comment
