Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Does anyone have an expired Souf Efrican passport lying around.
Take out your particulars and insert Picture of Archie. With the relevant details ie. Name: Archie, Surname: Type 1 Nationality: ACVWSA
D.O.B : what was it? 4th July 2009 Chris? and send that with. Then we can add the page that everyone has signed on up to the point it reaches you into the passport, and have everyone else sign in the passport.
Just a thought.

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
I'd rather go through the effort of creating a passport from the Republic of ACVW.
That way you won't end up in a situation where some law official rides your rear for a fake passport.

I'm in too. Why not make it that it can not be in the same town twice in a row or go back immediately from where he came. That way he will travel greater distances and see more places.

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Natbro,I agree with you.Once Archie has left a town or city,he won't return there.So the guys in that city or town must organise among themselves who is going to have Archie.
he Idea is to get archie to as many places as possible.This is a long term thing and I don't expect to see Archie for a long time.I'm just going to sit back and look at how this tread takes on a life of it's own.

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
Archie has arrived in Cape Town. He's taking a breather on my mousepad after spending too many days cooped up in an envelope.

Re: Archie-The Traveling Beetle
If Archie hurries up to Melkbos, he can join me for a month trip to Papua via Singapore and Bali. I can drop him off in JHB on the way back... I leave on Monday.
