i can get everything i could possibly want within a 5 mile radius of my moms house.

and yes,, the traffic is really why i am not there.

I agree. You always ask for things then never pay up. You are very wrong for that. I will never bring you anything again.

Who knows why I had to sign up again? I have had this logon name for a long time but I had to sign up again.?

Barnacle reading your grocery store adventures remind me of going to Trader Joe's after living here 3.5 years.

I was so awed and stunned by the choice that all I ended up with was dark chocolate covered toffee with pistachios - a bottle of fancy energized water and some jelly bellys. (I could have easily filled 2 suitcases full.)

Lara - I know a family which is coming down from Washington State in a week's time. They may well be able to stash your stuff somewhere, as they've already asked me if there's anything I want brought down. They're good friends and I'd expect you to treat them to a meal or something - they don't live lavishly. PM me or phone me asap.

ahhh...lara u are something...met u gave u your tuna...u asked what u owed...i told u just buy me a drink...u owe me nothing...have been waiting 4 years for that drink...it is not my fault what happened to your cans of tuna...but the nice thing would have been to ask me what i was drinking...and settled up right then...kerry

I'll buy you a drink Kerry..and I don't want a favour for it!
Plenty of tuna in the stores right here...just pay the price and don't trouble others...

That's funny I had the exact same experience kerry.

jesse...i love ya honey! thanx

I've carried down small personal items for several ex-patriots over the years, and know that many of my board friends have done the same. The addition of the "Wish List" topic by Pugwash has helped match up the requests with the willing "couriers" (prefer this term over Pack Mule :)).

I was a bit surprised to see this request from a business owner. The offer of a few beers didn't really seem adequate for the size of the favor. I was happy to see that Lara later added the offer to pay for baggage overage if necessary. I guess my question would be, what happens if the kind soul who transports the items gets challenged at customs upon arrival? Hopefully a plan is in place to handle it (receipts, prompt reimbursement, etc).

Peter, "good on ya" for offering up a solution for a fellow ex-patriot.

Lara, timing is everything, that's for sure. It looks like you have it covered. Good luck.
