It arrived today. How did they send it? Attached to a bird that migrates to Africa? It went by Ryanair. Canadian Post had to pick it up from Ryanair Nova Scotia (Quito) Airport. It will have gone by surface mail (ship). Some Portuguese Postman Pat will have shoved it in the wrong bag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
