Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

I think that you need to be a member for at least six or eight months before you qualify to do this. We don't want Charlie getting lost or in the wrong hands.

Also, how are we handling donations? Paypal? We surely can't send cash or check along with him.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

CavySpirit won't want to end up with euros so Paypal is the best route. Also if we all add pictures and notes won't the last of us with Charlie have a larger mailing expense? Hmm..maybe a little notebook can travel with him to write in and the pics can be posted in a thread here.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

That's a good idea. Maybe each person has a couple of pages in the notebook to glue tickets to attractions or shows and write something about Charlie's trip. And don't forget he'll have a passport as well that will need to be stamped at each destination.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

Guess I'm out then, I've only beena member for a month and a half, and we don't have paypal (mum doesn't trust online stuff).

Hope it all goes well, and I want to see lots of pics of Charlie on his travels.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

By the time this gets under way and Charlie is headed towards Australia, you might be here long enough Aertyn. Hopefully, there will be a timeline and list of travel spots soon.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

If it where using Money Order, I'd be fine, but seeing as it looks like it is using Paypal, mum would never allow it, and I would love to do it, show you guys what sort of town I live in *shudders*, the fibreglass cows. (If you google Sheppaton cows, you'll know what im talking about)

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

If you're getting close to 6 months when Charlie is on his way to Australia, and you want to use a money order to make a donation, you can send it to me, and I can PayPal the money to Teresa. You can also mail a money order directly to her I believe. I know PayPal is easiest for most of us, but honestly, a donation is a donation.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

Cool, it takes about 2 weeks to get from Australia to Canada, so about a week and a half to the US, So I'll definately consider that.

Re: Idea - the international guinea pig adventure?

Broomers, I know about making us sound weird. That is why I laughed so hard. I mean sitting here working it through with everyone is great but when I told someone about it, I just cracked up. I love it, it makes my day and puts a smile on my face. I am full speed ahead on this. We all certainly have too much seriousness in life and this is fun. I was thinking about where I would take Charlie for a photo while driving to class this morning! Ha Ha Ha

He's not very pretty. Bonnie was particularly unimpressed.
