[Ron&Gill]

Cool, next departure for Papua, if Archie misses 14 Sept, is 9 November, that may well be the last oppertunity. Just info, that's all.

The A4 is so that when Archie gets framed,all the signatures will be seen on one page or two.With a passport you won't be able to.

Frank I'm back in Blighty from the 18th of August. Let me know if you want to mail him or should I pick it up from you.

[Ron&Gill]

Eben, you coming to visit? I'm back on 20th...

No European roadtrip

I'm no longer sure how Archie's movements are planned; I'm still keen to play host for a while.

G&I will be landing in CTN on the weekend of 5-6 September, after which we're heading into the Karoo for Africa Burns in Skilpad, our 69 westy.

This should be a great adventure for Archie if he can fit it into his busy schedule.

I won't keep him for long. Actually Dutch, when you going back to SA from UK with that trip? The longest time will be to get it back into SA with the Post Office and customs as they are....

PS: He will channel to Zero but if someone can take him back without mailing it will be a lot quicker.

[Ron&Gill]

I was just reading about Africa Burns today... self expression etc. The name has been changed to AfricaBurn though... Sounds like a lot of fun...

Any news on the whereabouts of Archie????

[Ron&Gill]

Archie is with me, I think. I'm "driving" him over the Indian Ocean to Papua via Singapore and Bali (this is indeed the last time via Bali) and from there he will be hand carried over the Pacific Ocean to Houston Tx via Jakarta, Tokyo and San Francisco. From Houston, he will be mailed to Omaha... So after me, you look to be the next custodian. If you then mail him on to UK and Europe, and he arrives back in SA, he will have been around the world once. I expect Archie will be having an extended stay in Europe, with so many fans and places to see.

You should see Archie in about 8 weeks. (I only travel back to Indonesia in 4 weeks time and then it's a few weeks for my colleague before he travels to th US.)
