Just about 9 months ago, I was in Africa. I needed a few things, so my parents sent me a box. Who doesn’t love getting a box on the world race??? Anywho…. she sent it on February 7, 2008. We left Africa the last week of April, and after weeks of searching… still no box. Part of the risk in sending a box I guess… so I let it go.

And yesterday, November 5, 2008…. almost exactly 9 months since it was sent…. the box arrived back at my home in California!!!
It traveled the world for 9 months… almost as long as a world racer…. and found it’s way back to me! The M&Ms had gone rotten, but hey… I’ve got enough chapstick, sunscreen, valentines hearts, and splenda to last me for a long time! Thanks mom and dad!
