It Finally Arrived...

My parcel of books! It's like Christmas all over again!

Whilst travelling in the USA my bags were getting increasingly heavy. When in Boston I realised that I had a heap of travel books that I no longer needed - I'd already visited the places they referred to. There were also some other books & magazines that I didn't need to lug around the States. I decided to post them home.

Easy as, right? Yep, fairly easy but also fairly expensive. I opted for a el-cheapo postage rate as I wasn't in any hurry for them. Besides el-cheapo estimated delivery time was only 6-10 weeks.

Today they finally arrived.
11.85714 weeks after I posted them on 25-Oct-2006.
83Days.

They were all there.
My DK books on San Francisco, Seattle & New England.
My book on seeing the USA by Train.
My new-but-now-not-so-new Ali Edwards book.
A couple of Simple Scrapbook mags.
A novel I read on the plane on the way over to the USA.
A couple of brochures about Mystic and AMTRAK.
And a lovely little surprise find of my train ticket stub for the leg between ALBANY, NY. and BOSTON, MA. Man, I thought I'd lost that little sucker!

It's Christmas, I tell ya!
