Around the world in 8 micros, Box Number 3

Hi all,

the box arrived this morning in France.

I'll check the samples and prepare the parcel this week-end in order to send it to Rui in Portugal next week.

Best regards,
Jacques

Hello Jacques,
That was fast - less than a week ! I'm glad it arrived safely.

Hi all,

Dear friends,
Have been noticed that the box # 3 arrived home safe and sound. Thanks Jacques.
Just Monday will have the opportunity to open the box and will send it to Michel Blondieu very soon.
All the best
Rui

Box #3 is moving nicely now !
Bill

Dear friends,
Tomorrow will put the minerals into the mail to Michel Blondieau (BE) and hope he should receive them very soon.
Have exchanged one specimen from J Valverd for one self collected at Preguiça mine, Portugal.
Michel, please advise us when parcel received.
Cheers, Rui

Thank you Rui for the box. I am waiting and I'll let know when I'll get it.
Best regards,
Michel

I have received today the package sent by Rui.
I changed 4 specimens and I'll be able to post it tomorrow to Edward Johnson (USA)

Best regards,
Michel

That's great news! I'm really looking forward to seeing the selection of minerals that has resulted, after having passed through six countries. I guess there is a benefit to being the last (or next to last) person on the list.

Howdy All,

This is great going guys, do you all realise this box started late, got held up on it's first juorney and yet it is currently on track to be completed before the other box's...!!!
(It must be the turbo we added, it just need to get past the lag first...lol)

It's going to be great to see what is in there when it gets back here after it's world wide trip!

(spoken with a rather bad deep english accent taken from a hollywood movie) Well done 'ol chaps, well done, I say...!

Cheers Mark.

Hi Edward and others,

Box 3 was sent today to Edward.
I hope he'll get it soon but the box has to go oversea and it'll need a bit time.
Edward, let know when you'll get it.

Regards,

Michel

Greetings all,

Well, the package arrived today. Not bad, Belgium to New York in 4 days! Looks like I'll be taking 5 specimens, so give me a day or two to mount up replacements & they'll be on their way to Mark in Australia.

Ed

I am really surprised; only 4 days... It was really fast.

Michel

Just got back from the post office; box #3 is now on its way to Australia. Let us know when you get it, Mark.

Ed

Howdy all,

"we win..we win...!" lol
Oh hang on, it wasn't a race was it?

Can you guess, I'm in a happy mood!
Box 3 made it's return to me today after nearly 4 months of travelling the globe.
The specimens I received appear to come from 3 different collectors and I must say that that are all quite nice.
I look forward to doing this all again soon. If you all want to do this again just let me know, we'll re-arrange the list so we all send to different people. I know there is talk of all the boxes doing the trip again, let's hope so!

I'll post again soon, hopefuly with some photos to go with it all.

Cheers Mark

I will send over the champagne! Hehe. Well done, box number 3!

Like I said in the mail, Mark, I will reinvite people soon. And of course I will reshuffle the groups.
Still with the fact in mind I would like to keep the groups as international as possible.

Cheers,

Eddy
