Personally I agree with Scott. Travel Bugs are a PITA!! I had 2 with me for about a month or so during all the rains we had and while hubby was overseas. So trying to get out of the house with the child was not a go. Definatly didn't know that it was going to be raining for 3 weeks straight. Needless to say I got 3 nasty notes from one specific person (name omitted) about how maybe next time I shouldn't pick up TBs, etc etc.
Mind you the time before I had taken one from a cache and g6t an e-mail from a cacher in IL that she was coming into town and would I mind dumping it somewhere where she could get it. I had no problems doing that.
