What a flight!

Dear Troop 1509,

HI.... I just flew to Nebraska all the way from Illinois and boy are my arms tired! lol...... Just kidding. Do you get it? I just FLEW IN?!? I flew! On an airplane! lol

So, I left Jacks on Tuesday and it was a LONG and BUMPY flight, let me tell you! All that turbulence ripped up my nifty little travel compartment a little bit. But, S and D said that they can fix it no problem! If they can't they promised me a new one. Maybe this one will have its own bathroom!

Anyhow, it was a really long flight and I am very tired. S and D said that I can have break today and then tomorrow they are going to take me letterboxing! I'm even going to get to plant some boxes with them! Boy, I sure am getting to do a lot of really great things while I am gone!

I will write more soon!

Love,
Morning Glory

Packing up again...

Dear Troop 1509,

Well, I've had another great trip! Jacks was a lot of fun to be with! We did some really neat stuff. Did you like those pictures I emailed you?

I woke up really early this morning and packed all my stuff into my little blue back pack and away we went. Jacks drove me to the airport and I boarded USPS Flight # 100 bound for Boys Town, NE !!! I even got FIRST CLASS tickets!

They tell me the flight might take a few days but if I'm good, I might get to watch Madagascar on the way! Do you know who my favorite character is in that movie?!?! You guessed it! The giraffe! How did you know???

Anyhow.... I'll be landing in a day or two. Jacks told me that I will be staying with a really nice family who calls themselves "S and D" when they go letterboxing.... They sound really cool and I can't wait to meet them! I'll write again once I get there.

Love,

Letterboxing with Jacks

Dear Troop 1509,

I thought that you might like to see a few pictures from when I went letterboxing with Jacks. She lives in Illinois, but we actually found these boxes in Wisconsin when we went to her sons baseball game. Remember I told you about that?

So, I had SO MUCH FUN that I wanted to show you some pictures! Thank you Jacks for helping me send them home!

I can't wait to see where I go next...

This picture was taken at the "Is Your Mama a Llama? Freddy" letterbox

in Waukesha, WI

This picture was of a really neat postal letterbox I did with Jacks. A postal letterbox is a letterbox that is sent around from person to person in the mail, instead of having to go out on a hike or something to find it. This was SO COOL! For this postal you had to put a puzzle together and when you did, you got to put your stamp on the back of it! How neat is that???

I'm having a BLAST!

Love,

On to stop # 2

Dear Troop 1509,

We were both traveling at the same time! While you were on your way to Jam Camp, I was flying to my next destination! I was on my way to visit Jacks in Illinois. Well, I arrived safely on the 13th, the same day you got to Jam Camp! Oh, I hope that you had fun there, I wanted to go with you so badly... I hope that you took lots of pictures while you were there so I can see them when I get home.

I spent the day on Saturday in Waukesha, WI with Jacks at her son's baseball tournament. She took me out to go letterboxing in between games. She took a few pictures of me and will email them to Ms. Becky so she can put them here on the blog. Guess what? Jacks wanted to take a picture of me with her sons baseball team but the game got RAINED OUT! So, we didn't get a picture of that... That was a bummer. Jacks said that she's going to try and take me out letterboxing again before I travel on to Boys Town, NE.

I'm still having SO MUCH FUN!
Love,

Guess Where I Was...

Dear Troop 1509,

Well, I sure had a lot of fun with CathCainGwen! I was SO busy that I don't have enough time right now to tell you about everything that I did! I'll let you know more details soon though...

So, on May 30, I got to CathCainGwen's house and I did my very first exchange! An exchange is when you trade stamp images (pictures) with another letterboxer. She took a copy of my stamp and gave me a copy of hers! That was so cool!

On June 3rd, I had a really busy day full of letterboxing! I found 5 boxes!
~ Profile Rock in Little Falls, NY (by CathCainGwen)
~ Erie Canal Lock 17 in Little Falls, NY (by churchguysNprincesses)
~ Birthday Series (3 boxes) in Little Falls, NY (by CathCainGwen)

On June 7th, I found 2 more letterboxes...
~ Sherman's in Caroga Lake, NY (by Buggylou)
~ Eve in Richfield Springs, NY (by Karensport)

I also had another "exchange" that day. With another boxing buddy! Her name was Rosie and she is a hippo. She is a boxing buddy from Girl Scout troop 772. Guess what she told me!!! She said that she is going to come and visit YOU! She said that she is going to be coming to your Girl Scout troop sometime soon and that you will get to take her out letterboxing! Oh, she is so nice! You'll love her! I hope that she visits after I get home, but if not, please take good care of her and tell her I said hi!

Oh! Guess what else! CathCainGwen gave me a really neat little blue backpack to keep my stamp in when I travel around. It's really cute. I'll try to send you pictures soon...

Right now I am on my way to visit Jacks. Jacks is a Girl Scout leader! She has girls who are Cadettes! Whoa! :O) They live in Illinois. I can't wait to get there! I'll let you know when I arrive! I LOVE that so many friends I'm visiting are Girl Scouts!

I'm having fun, so don't worry about me too much! I miss you!
Love,
Morning Glory
