Current Goal

This bug was originally designed to visit cities named Athens in the US before crossing the ocean and heading to Athens Greece. Unfortunately, it got muggled in a cache after crossing the Atlantic. It has changed significantly from its original state. If you can help it find its way back to the Tirana International Travel Bug Hotel (GCTMXA) I will retire it. Thanks to all who helped the original bug to log over 14000 miles.

UPDATE:  This TB has now logged over 20,000 miles!  Thanks for all who helped it along.  Since the Tirana International Travel Bug Hotel has been archived, I would like the TB to continue to travel around Europe. Sometime in Early 2014, I will give it a new final destination, probably on the Island of Corfu.  Until then, let it keep traveling, please!  Thanks!

NEWEST UPDATE: Hard to believe this little TB is still roaming the world! Well over 45,000 miles logged.  Thanks to all who have moved it along through the years.  Please keep it moving towards Corfu.  Once it reaches there, it will need to cross the Atlantic and find it's way back to Tennessee.

2018 Update!!  Now that this traveler has logged more than 25,000 Miles, I think it is about ready to have a rest.  Its new goal is to make it to the island of Corfu in Greece.  Once it is placed in a cache there, I will collect it and retire it.  I'll probably send out a new TB to replace it.   Thanks again to all who have helped this TB wander around the world for over 12 years now!

Now it's in my hand and I 'm little bit wondering about the style. I saw in the web these TB should have 2 Coins on it but indeed it has only the smile and was in a bag with a note to go to USA.

Well I found in FRA airport hotel a TB with a Tracking code that leads me to this TB, but the object is diferent.
As the Tracking code in "handwrited", maybe there is some mistake.
Attached a picture (with the Tracking code masked to avoid wrong use)
