How long does it generally take for a package from the US to go to Australia? It was first class parcel post, and I didn’t ask how long it would take, since I didn’t pay for any kind of premium service. ---

Thank you so much to the boardie who sent me a lovely “Roma” shot glass, an Italian Euro coin and a Cubs drink cozy. The hubster is a longtime Cubby fan so he’s really pleased with that one. 🙂 Love them all. If you’re around could you identify yourself by your board username? I could see (on the return address) that you are from Illinois, anyway. Thanks again. Or should I say Grazie? 😉 Also, a shout of thanks to feppytweed for keeping this going. It’s been a lot of fun. ---

My package is away and sailing/flying? it’s way over the pacific ocean. No offence to SurlyChick, but I had to look up where Berwick was. I’d never heard of it before, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out which state ‘ME’ stood for. ☹ Keep your eyes peeled in 4-6 weeks for my package, sorry for the timeframe, but it’s got a hell of a long way to travel!! 🙂 ---

It was first class parcel post, and I didn’t ask how long it would take, since I didn’t pay for any kind of premium service. Hasn’t shown up yet Baker. But not to worry. I’m not sure if it’s any quicker going US to Aus, but the reverse can often take 4-6 weeks. ---

None arrived here yet =( but since I volunteered for overseas, I guess it is coming to me from overseas as well. ---

**Score!** I hereby dibs **Waldelfe** for next year’s swap. Not only did she send a neat micro-mug shot glass all the way from Germany, but she included in the package a nice bottle of German pils that I haven’t seen over here and a bottle of her sister’s _Barenjang_, German honey-liquor. **Waldelfe** officially rocks! ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Speaking of funny coincidences I got my glass today and it’s from the state I was born in, a place I’ve never seen, by an architect my whole family idolizes! > > I got a beautiful “the house in the rocks” glass from my homeland of Wisconsin. My grandfather is an architect and modeled himself after Frank Lloyd Wright, just as the architect for the house did…so growing up I read all about the house and knew about it…but never went there or got anything from it. > > So for the mystery person who sent it (there was just a name, no username…) thanks so much!! That glass was from me. Glad you liked it! A friend who reads Neil Gaiman mentioned House on the Rock to me years ago. I am also an architect, and during a recent drive to chicago I was able to stop there. It was well worth it. That place is amazing, definitely go if you get a chance. I forgot all about this… I never got my shot glass. Oh well. ---

Wait for it. It could be coming from overseas, or your sendee got it off late, or they flaked for a bit. Be resolute! They shall come through! ---
