I'd prefer to get the troll while I'm in Italy - here I know I'll be able to take care of her in the best of way and I pretty much know everything about the postal service, having been in the snail mail business for half of my life at least... I'm going to Russia in August and possibly stay until mid-September, but I'm not sure I trust the Russian postal service too much, it's rather slow... And if I'll live in a dormitory it might be hard to get mail, it would have maybe to go through many hands before reaching me... Getting it in Italy feels safer.

how long can we have the troll? I mean if we want to show her around we need a few days?!?!.......

yes if how long?? I mean if the troll is coming with me to Egypt it will be with me a good 3-4 weeks depending on when it gets hear and wether it wants to see Englad???
That is a point Does Troll want to see the UK.

Also does this Troll have a name?? just 'Troll' is rather impersonal dont you think?? ;) :D

As far as Scher's game the lady Troll will get to see the UK if it gets to you while you're down there in Egypt :)

I don't think most people will need more than 3 or 4 days. 'Shade's situation is a bit unique, because it's a trip-within-a trip.

Actually, Trolley (that's the only name she has -- any suggestions?) has been to London and Bath. She loves England and would enjoy to seeing more of it.

I'm thinking the Troll Tour will probably begin sometime next week, so come on you fence sitters play along!

I have a scedule for us! I'm planning to show her around..... I'd want to keep her for a week...... if that is allowed?

Hmmm...it should be okay. A lot will depend on how long each postal service takes to transport Troll from place to place.

In my experience, and with my business I ship overseas all the time, us air parcel post usually takes about 2-3 weeks. Some places are better, some places (like Canada) can be slower. I can drive to Canada in 2 hours and yet an air parcel post package I sent once took 4 weeks...

Global Express Mail can take less time, but still atleast a week I'd think.

Definitely do not do surface post, that's 2 months on a boat.

I'd also try to keep the cross-ocean jumps to a minimum, its quite expensive.

Oh ya, if you guys still want an Aussie, I know alot of them and I'm sure I could interest one of them.

ohh naming I love naming things ummmmmmmmmmm I dont know why it must be from playing too much of the word association game Tortal What on earth is that any way???
I seem to know that name??? :confused: oh well it feels nice Tortal Trolley??
thats a suggestion
what do you think??

Well I suppose that ihrocks' schedule will work in a way to make Troll (i like this name best) tour first the USA and then jump to Europe...or maybe she can come to Europe first then tour the States...if other continents are involved, I still think the Americas should come first, and then one continent at the time, it seems more convenient both economically and in terms of time and risk to lose the stuff (brrrrr...)

I love snail mail and in my experience I can tell you that sending stuff around Europe can be quite quick, the only troubles I've had have been in Hungary to Italy if you don't use air mail, and Macedonia to Italy is the slowest thing I've ever seen... but we have no Macedonians here...

I gotta say the mail from the Czech rep to Aussie takes about 5-6 days, was pleasantly surprised to find that out as I thought it'll take about two weeks. Funny thing is that it takes about 4-5 days from Aussie to the Czech rep... and also that when you're sending a letter from one end of the town to another it can take just as long as if you were sendig it from Aussie :D

My mum did one of these once with a kola called Gulliver it got to our house then we sent it from Egypt to america ad it reached ther it ended up getting back to us....
So he marries sally the camel and now runs a tourist agency to Egypt specialising in toy travel.
;) :D

Ok...the Troll is about finished packing and ready to go!

Here's the itinerary:

Papayahed (I need your addy)
Amuse
Helga
Nightshade
Scherherazade (excuse the spelling)
Chava
Jay
Koa
Kilted Exile (ahhh! A man in a kilt is a fine thing -- do we get a picture?)
Baddad
Chris
and back to me in LA

So everyone knows who they need to get there snail mail address to. I think this will get Troll to Nightshade in time to visit the pyramids.

It would be nice if people posted something here when the Troll arrives at their location and/or when they send her off again.

Bon Voyage, Trolley! I wish I could join you!

A picture of mself in a kilt is dependent on the weather, a kilt is a damn uncomfortable thing to wear if it is overly warm.
A picture of myself with troll however will be provided.
