Current Goal

To travel to Italy and back.

I personally attended the 2013 Geocaching Block Party in Seattle, WA, the event for which this tag and it's accompanying coin commerate. The balloons at the event did NOT last long, much to my son's disappointment. So unlike those balloons, I would like this one to stay aloft as long as possible. 

As an Italian, I have always wanted to travel to Italy, I have never had a chance to do so. My hope is, that this balloon can fly across the ocean and scout things out for me. Hopefully, by the time it returns to me I will have made it there myself or I will have made plans to get there. I would really like this balloon to make it's way to Trieste, my father's birthplace, and to Naples for some killer pizza. And maybe some gelato?

About This Item

I am a professional photographer so I am very big on pictures. Please help me follow my balloon's travels by logging photos of you and the balloon or the cool things it sees. Be creative, have fun with it! You can also post your photos of this tag on Instagram under the hashtag: #josballoontoitaly

DO NOT pick up this tag if you don't intend to move it along fairly quickly. Unless of course, you have a trip to Italy scheduled in six months... then I wouldn't be too upset if you held on to it, if it can help this trackable achieve it's goal. =) If you do intend to hold it for a long period of time, please make a note of it on it's page.

DO NOT pick up this tag if you don't intend to LOG IT.

Hopefully Maverick 58 will place the item soon or will log it so we know it's whereabouts. -Trackable Owner
