Woo Hoo! By my calculations this TB passed over 10 state lines (a few were just the top corners of the state but still into the state) and 2440 miles. The TB was also exchanged with six others in the Orlando Airport TB Hotel; Lucky Shoe, Trekking Troll Key Chain, GI Joe, Todie's Wild Ride II, Help Save 2nd base and AMTG Virtual Yellow Diamond GeoGem. Picture will be posted with it's traveling companions.
