I’m sooo totally psyched! My geocaching travelbug has made a full loop.
A travelbug is a geocaching trading item that has a serial number on it. If you take it from a cache, you are supposed to put it in another cache intead of keeping it so the owner can follow the item as it travels. I’ve had 4 travelbugs, but only one still exists – the others all were stolen or lost. The survivor is a little notebook which I made into a Swedish Picture Dictionary and dropped it off in Stockholm when I was there two years ago. I asked the finders to choose a Swedish word, draw a picture, and use the word in a sentence so I can have a picture dictionary made for me. I’ve seen a couple of the entries through photographs and they’re pretty cool.
Today, I received an email that the travelbug has returned to Stockholm, specifically within walking distance to Thomas’ parents’ house. It has gone 813 miles (map in the entry photo) in two years. As long as no one picks it up in the next couple of months, I’ll be able to get it back at Christmas when I’m there.

What fun! Now I know you can hardly wait to get to Sweden. Maybe it should travel for the next two months, at least.
That’s really cool. I hope you will be able to take back with you at Christmas.
