Yayyyy! I get such a charge out of buying toys for little kids who might not otherwise have such a happy Christmas! Thanks for all your help on this project, Pia!

I sent mine last week too. I have a tracking number, but there is no information on the post office website about where it is. It's just showing as "accepted." That's what happened last time I sent packages to St. John, though--it went from "accepted" to "arrived," so I'm not really worried about it.
Let me know when you get it!

Pia - Can you remind me when the due date is for these gifts? I hope I am not too late.

Hi Tracy - I actually leave (going to England and then on a cruise ) on Thursday. Les is here until next Friday and will deliver any gifts that arrive after I leave before he joins me in Fort Lauderdale.
I am delivering the gifts that have already arrived tomorrow providing we have power back and they are open 
I will try to get another address from Joe (maybe his personal address) for people to mail gifts to.
It takes 7-14 days right now (Priority Mail) for gifts to arrive so they won't make it before hubby leaves if they are not already in the mail, but if I can get another address, and they are mailed quickly, they should be fine.
I'll let you know tomorrow

Thanks Pia - And sorry for being so late with this. My mind has not been on Christmas yet! Have a great trip. If there is another address, I will definitely have something in the mail by Monday at the latest.

Oh shoot. I didn't forget about this; I just didn't realize I was out of time. I was going to get some of the sales Friday at Toys R Us for you.
If there is another address where I can send them, please let me know and I'll pick up some stuff Friday and get them in the mail Friday or Saturday.
Sorry to be a slacker! I was going to buy stuff last week, but I figured I could do more if I waited for the big sales.

I tried to get another address today from Joe but he was off (Thanksgiving) I left a message on his cell phone so he still might get back to me tonight.
I think you all know that I leave tomorrow so if any packages are yet to arrive hubby will deliver the for me (I know I am still waiting on at least two)
I will try to log onto the forum while I am gone but my Mum does not have a computer so I will have to wait until I visit my brother (and then his "dial up" is sooooooo slow 
) but I'll try to let everyone know when they arrive (or Les will do it for me )
Thanks again everyone.
