She told me you did finally post, so here I am about a week later, finally getting a chance to check it out. I can't believe you're over there and have all those amenities! You're suppose to be roughin' it :) Very cool you get to start your own site. Let us all know the goodies you miss the most so we can send them over. Can't have you starving over there! Miss you and think of you often....debDebinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015751875579372447.post-62901103600638044142010-10-09T20:03:30.244+00:002010-10-09T20:03:30.244+00:00Hello Liza,
Your best bet is the flat rate box at ...Hello Liza,<br />Your best bet is the flat rate box at the post office.I stopped by to get the box,several sizes, and Debbie looked up on the post computer an estimate for me ,before I went shopping, on the cost. Cost will depend on poundage and size. Do not seal package before bringing back to post, because they weigh each item and list on a special overseas form. She said I was saving $35 using flat rate. The package was 12 pounds at $50 dollars to Thies.<br />I have to tell you though, it was heavy and there was alot of goodies included. Try to wait for the next blog from Curtis, as he is relocating and might have a different post. <br />Thanks and keep in touch.<br />Anne McCoyAnne McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447042674655873252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015751875579372447.post-87115761717873743582010-10-07T17:29:31.467+00:002010-10-07T17:29:31.467+00:00Curtis!!! I'm SO pumped to hear everything'...Curtis!!! I'm SO pumped to hear everything's working out well - I can't believe you'll have access to satellite dishes and DVD players! And that's awesome that your counterpart is meeting you half way, that will definitely make everything go smoother (and more efficiently, I'm assuming). OK, I'm going to send you an email later, but stay safe!! Miss you!!<br />PS Mrs. McCoy, is there a way to send Curtis a box that ISN'T hundreds of dollars? Haha I want to send him things but I can't afford too much on my small post-graduate budget :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465194102754072397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015751875579372447.post-9129909276592769102010-10-04T15:38:06.033+00:002010-10-04T15:38:06.033+00:00Hello Curtis,
So nice to hear from you and see you...Hello Curtis,<br />So nice to hear from you and see you!!<br />Whomever may be reading this, as you know we<br />hadn't heard from Curtis in quite a while, so as I was about to call the PeaceCorps, just me thinking out loud, Curtis calls and tells me we are going to try the skype connection ! To may surprise there he was on Sept. 30, right in front of us on the computer screen. Unbelievable.<br />Dad, Grandma,Kathleen,Mom,Uncle Sam even snuck in there. One hour and forty five minutes later<br />we were saying our farewells . It also meant that it was 1:00 a.m. for Curtis. <br />Of course he looks thin to me, the next day I went shopping granola,soup,peanut butter , protein bars,meal bars, chocolate soy, candy etc.<br />with the help of Debbie at the L.F. post office we sent off 12 pounds of food. Curtis, I hope you get it before your next move. Otherwise, would there be another post at your new location. Debbie said it might only take 12 days.<br />Nice to read your blog. Keep up the good work. Yes , one day at a time. Also, You grew up in Lake Forest, you know how long it takes for those trees to grow!!!!!<br />Love You Take Care Be Safe<br />Love, MomAnne McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447042674655873252noreply@blogger.com
