Current Goal

Skippy is racing a pommy bug so Aussie pride is at stake! His mission is to get from 'Quackers Revisited' (at S 31° 51.454, E 115° 45.597) to reach 'Homewood Bound' (at N 51° 22.459 W 000° 32.284) in Surrey, England. He must travel to at least three other countries beside Australia and England on his journey with photos to prove it, and get there in the shortest possible time.

Picked up the Skippy travel bug to move north into Canada -- he's on a race to get to Surrey, England in a hurry! Of course, we had to stop for a quick photo op in sister city Surrey, British Columbia on the way to the Vancouver Airport TB Hotel!

Just one more country to go before heading to Britain!

I'll be going almost as far north as Canada next week, so will bring Skippy up there in hopes that someone will take it the rest of the way.

Okay I gave this a couple of days at the Stargate and it didn't get picked up - tomorrow I'll try to get some pics and get it back out and racing.
