60North Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment

+sTeamTraen Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 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"! Quote Link to comment
60North Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment
NickPick Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 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!)

There's always the adoption agency known as 'Ebay' if you're sure you dont want it anymore Quote Link to comment
60North Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) There's always the adoption agency known as 'Ebay' if you're sure you dont want it anymore 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! Edited April 16, 2005 by 60North Quote Link to comment
