About This Item

Launch of the Hula Cat!

Hula cat key chain, love to have my picture taken in the interesting places I visit. Was particularly interested in visiting "The Golden Heart of Alaska" (GCNQY0) which is an exchange cache in The Netherlands...the exchange of the cache I started in Alaska. A few short months after my launch I made it!

Got it!!!! Hula Cat is in the Netherlands with me and will very soon reach its goal!! I was at the Golden Heart cache today, but I didn't want to leave him there already. It's really amazing that I have this bug in my possession now, and I want to enjoy having it for a little longer.
When you think about it this really is an AMAZING coincidence, Hula Cat being at a France geocache event that I had already planned attending before I knew Hula Cat was going to be there. And after such a short period of time after starting out in Dutch Treat!
I exchanged Hula Cat for TB Crabby MINZ with TravelingViking ("the Travel Bug Mover") from Germany at the event dinner in the village of Scharrachbergheim.
Will place Hula Cat in the Golden Heart cache on the next cache check.

Happy Caching,

JC

ATTENTION TRAVELING VIKING:

I'm particularly interested in Hula Cat TB. I would like to exchange it for the Crabby MINZ TB I'm bringing to the event.
Together with Ladybug Kids from Alaska I'm involved in a Dutch-Alaskan cache exchange project. The Ladybug Kids hid my cache "Dutch Treat" (GCMXEK) in Alaska, and I hid their cache "The Golden Heart of Alaska" (GCNQY0) in the Netherlands.
Hula Cat started its journey in "Dutch Treat" and its current goal is "The Golden Heart of Alaska", so it would be really neat if I could get my hands on Hula Cat and bring him there!
This really is a cool coincidence! It's a small world!
I hope we can swap Hula Cat and Crabby Minz, maybe at the restaurant on Sunday evening if you also will be coming to the event dinner. Thanks in advance, Traveling Viking!

Happy Caching,

Johny Cache
