Travel Bugs

[60North]

So what happens when a Travel Bug meets its goal in life?

 

I have had one for over 18 months and am insufficiently imaginative/motivated to come up with a mission and attach it to something.

If you're really stuck, there's always here......Travel Bug Graveyard!

I have a fairly poor imagination for big ideas, but I'm good at deriving.

 

I liked an idea which I saw of TBs which accumulate "stuff". So I made Etiquette 2. The advantage of using wine bottle labels is that they don't add much weight or bulk.

 

Good luck getting over "TB maker's block"!

I had an idea (once)!

 

I thought about attaching a wad of stamps and address labels and asking people to send me a postcard. If you live outside of a UK tourist trap it can be difficult to get hold of postcards though.

I like the postcard idea!

 

I've also seen TBs which ask you to add an item to the TB (such as ST's wine labels, and a scout troop's badges TB). You could do that with postcards, but then you'd have to get the TB to return to you.

 

Postcards are easy enough to get hold of in most places in the world (I've even seen postcards of Slough!)

Isn't it rather early in the day to be drinking

This is another recent addition to the options.....

 

TB Retirement home

The Wobbly Club have come up with UK Travel Bug Retirement Home ( God I wish I could insert links like everyone else ) which seems slightly less macabre than a graveyard

Good plan - lets see if I can get on eBay!

 

Edited - (Some time later!) It was easier than usual. Am I the only one that only gets onto eBay UK 1 in every 10 times that I try? Anyway, I have listed the travel bug, some logbooks, pencils and labels. Everything must go in my quest for a 60CS!
