Current Goal

After more than three years traveling the world, this travel bug finally returned to its home on the South Island of New Zealand!!! However, its adventure did not stop there. It visited the Te Anau area before sadly perishing in fire at the Kaiapoi Historic Geometry
cache north of Christchurch. Thanks to the heroic efforts of BaldEd, the TB tag was rescued from the charred remains of the fire and attached to this little kiwi. Please help him find his way across the ocean to Durham, North Carolina.

About This Item

The Updated Aotearoa Bound TB

The original travel bug was a New Zealand Telecom phonecard with a photo of a yellow-eyed penguin. It was purchased and used during an incredible trip to the South Island in January 2004. (Click here for some trip photos.) With thanks to BaldEd, the travel bug has now morphed into a little kiwi bird basketball player.

Found the tag in the cache but had no toy attached to it. Better part of our team says she will find a new toy to attach to the tag and send it on it's way.

Thanks!

I can get this little guy closer to his goal of North Carolina. I'll take him home with me to Western New York. Look for him to show up there! I'm uploading a picture of him standing in front of a cactus here in Arizona. He looks a little warm!
