And as for the annual convention in Hawaii well ..wow what a pace to put
out boxes...I'll be there....pls do consider
In Science Fiction fan circles (fandom), they have something called
'TAFF', the transatlantic fan fund, and sf fans vote for a pair of fans
from each side of the pond to visit the other ..and "donate" cash to vote
and so pay for the trips..seems a good idea to me..join my campaign team
now !!
I could certainly and definitely do Hawaii justice...Not just enjoying the
sunshine and beaches and good food and drink..no that's only of very
little interest ! < very very big grin> Vote for me..hand counts only
please

Well Dartmoor is a very wild place in UK terms !
Very Hillbilly and Backwoodsie and well a little bit spooky too !
..and...Letterboxing is still a "secret hobby" over here !

Maybe you can even persuade an old Moorland Wizard into being a moorland
letterboxing guide too...
