Journal Entry 24 by wingAzukiwing from Miami, Florida USA on Wednesday, July 4, 2007
Arrived home from the airport last night and saw this big book sitting on my porch. Unfortunately it was stormy weather yesterday and the box got rained on. However, very luckily, these are audio books so while the box became mushy, there was no damage to content and those packaging which got wet dried out nicely. Hate to imagine what would happen if this were books!! Will go through and bring it back to Carlissa at our next meetup.

Journal Entry 25 by wingAzukiwing from Miami, Florida USA on Friday, July 13, 2007
Will be meeting with Carlissa tonight at Panera to return the box.
I enjoyed browsing through the many titles. However, unfortunately for me my car only plays CDs and these are all tapes. I ended up taking two and putting two back in.
Thanks Carlissa for organizing this.

Journal Entry 26 by gnissorckoob from Miami, Florida USA on Friday, July 13, 2007
Hello all.
I thought this was an especially good audiobox, complete with the journal that we can follow along.

I'm asking our host carlissa if she will continue it around again and let us have an opportunity to join.

If anyone agrees, maybe you could help me lobby carlissa by PMing her.

Just a thought.

Journal Entry 27 by carlissa from Gainesville, Florida USA on Friday, July 13, 2007
Azuki, my daughters and I met at Panera Bread tonight so I could pick up my audio box. Thank you everyone for participating, and I'm looking forward to going through this box tomorrow. And, yes, gnissorckoob, I would like to send this box out on another journey, so if you are interested in a second go-round, please send me a pm. Just to let you know, though, all the audiobooks are on cassette.

Journal Entry 28 by carlissa from Gainesville, Florida USA on Monday, July 30, 2007

P.S. The box currently has audiobooks mostly on cassettes, but CDs are fine too!

Journal Entry 29 by gnissorckoob from Miami, Florida USA on Thursday, August 2, 2007
Juicy! I picked up the box tonight for Round #2. Is it my imagination or is it about twice as big as last time?? Anyway, am boggled by all the choices. Will explore over the week end -- and then off to the booklady. (I am not commuting as much as in the past 2+ years, so the question is When will I listen to all these audios?)

Thanks a lot, Carlissa.

I apologize for the delay. The box is safe and sound, and was waiting for me when I returned this week end from several weeks of travel across the US. Just cut it open but haven't explored it yet. I see my old Lolita set in there. Will make some picks soon and send it on its way. (I believe azuki is out of town now but due back soon.) Thanks, and sorry for any worry I caused during the wait.
