    Who wants Bob next (preferably in USA)

    I'm having trouble finding a next home for Bob. Going down the list isn't working very well - so..here's an open call. If you are on the list, preferably in the US, and would like to host Bob next - please raise your hand.

    Feel free to send it my way here in North Carolina. Unfortunately I don't have any special trips or other things planned soon, but the NC State Fair is coming up, and that would be full of crazy photo ops. I hope Bob likes fried food:

    Scotch Creme Egg



    Cadbury creme egg, coated in peanut butter and jam, blast frozen then coated in Cocoa pops and smoked sea salt. Deep fried until crisp.

    I'm in 100%.

    If I remember from WUS the blue whale had a list with the order the watch travelled, a waiting list so to speak. Are we going to do something like that or just have the person who has it send it to the next person of their choosing?

    That's up to you all either way, I would love to see it travel to every part of the world & have every1 get in on this assuming they want to participate

    There are benefits and drawbacks either way. If we don't group it somewhat based on geography, the thread will be slower to update as we wait on a lot of international shipping periods. But the upside is that there will be more variety as it bounces from country to country. 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.
