If we have it do a tour of Europe, North America, Asia, it will likely move quicker between updates, but with the possibility of several updates in a row from the same part of the world. Either way, we will have to be flexible in cases such as Jeannie and I. We live near each other in the same state, so having it go from her to me might not be ideal even though we would both put a different spin on things.
    I'm sure the community.. no... family here can come up with something that works for everyone.

    That is an excellent point for the international travel option.

    Remember, though, the trinkets won't accumulate, so it doesn't solve the "local trinkets" issue.

    What if we ask everyone, when they sign on to the list, to say if they are willing to ship overseas. I think at least one of our compatriots already did. I'm willing to send it overseas.

    happy to ship anywhere to a degree it was just when it was done with vlad some time the thread would die for weeks waiting to here that it arrived safe were more local it could be a few days between location not weeks but yeah be cool to get some thing from a far away had once a native Indian bracelet that was so cool. I think some of these issue will get solve as it moves around it will fall in to a pattern so am easy really just thought it would keep it active more

    Ok, I think this is everyone from both threads so far. I don't know how the list is going to be kept up to date, either in this thread or have one person keep it up, I'm ok with either. If no one wants to do it I will, but if someone would rather I'm not married to the idea of keeping it myself. So if anyone else has a better idea please bring it up.

    As a side note, I really don't want to come across like I am trying to take over anything, it's just my engineering project planning nature. I can not stress enough that I am 100% on board with whatever the group wants.

    think some one needs to keep keep the list up to date and for that matter maybe to help work out logistics to
