About This Item

Before the Great Adventure

We were looking for a fun and different way for our kids to learn about the world and thought that setting a trackable bug loose for each of our kids would be a great way to do it.  A friend of ours is currently working a locum position in Australia.  While home for a short visit he agreed to take them back to Australia and release them.  We are doing this in conjunction with two kids from Australia that are about the same age as our kids with the hopes they will become pen pals.  The trackables and all their adventures should be a great conversation starter.  Thank you to everyone that helps them on their way and Happy Geocacheing!!

This travel bug is alive and well.

It was placed in the Click-It Bug Cache on 9/3/2017 and then a category 5 hurricane named Irma hit St. Thomas and devastated the island on 9/5/2017 and as if things couldn't get worse on 9/20/2017 another category 5 hurricane named Maria hit St. Thomas dolling out a huge 1-2 punch to the island.

Fast forward to 3/15/2018 and the location is under repairs and will re-open soon.

We gathered all the travel bugs up and brought them back to Ohio to release them on their way.

Spotted in the USVIs while vacationing with team HZOI!

We spent two weeks on a 41' sailboat that we sailed around the British Virgin Islands, eating and drinking lots of amazing things along the way. My favorite was the chicken roti and a drink called a Painkiller, which was mostly fruit punch. ;)

After returning the boat, we met up with HZOI and spent a few days in the USVIs. It has been quite an adventure as the islands are prepping for Huricane Irma.

The first picture is of a man prepping a drink for us. He trimmed the top of the coconut and then added a nice kicker to spice it for adults.

The second and third are of the "pets" at one of our favorite restaurants. They're about 3 - 3 1/2 ft long!

The fourth is of our group, BWB3 and HZOI.

Cheers! And thanks for letting us share our experience with you. -BWB3
