+Woppy'n'Jules Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 We had the genius idea of using a travelbug to choose our honeymoon destination, which happens on 22/5/10. After sitting in a travelbug hotel (nr Canterbury, Kent) for some 5 months. The very thoughtful owner of the cache took our bug to New York, wow how exciting never been, really happy to be going potentially. Anyway after an absolutley awful day yesterday right at the end Im told an English couple have bought our bug back to Prats Bottom, Kent. Now Woppy my partner thinks this is hilarious, I might agree in a decade or so. Im sure Prats Bottom is a lovely place to some people and I have nothing personal against the place, but it's in our own county and to be frank I feel like I won the lottery, only to find it's a tenner. Please could someone visit this cache (High Elms) and take the bug to anywhere but Kent, even Slough is looking impressive now Thanks Jules Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 *MrsB stifles her giggles* Oh dear That's a pity How sad I think this topic might get more responses over in the UK Forums... Maybe one of the Forum Mods will move it in that direction once the US wakes up. Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Ohhh just go to NYC anyway..... I love the place, plenty of caches to do too! Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I was just trying to see exactly where the TB has been placed and I see that the "High Elms" cache has not yet been published. Hmmm. Let's hope it gets through the review process and your TB gets the chance to be picked up and moved somewhere more suitable soon. MrsB Quote Link to comment
norsch Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hehe, made me laugh, but could be worse, could have been Littlehampton, West Sussex Quote Link to comment
+Team Noodles Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 *laughs* lol, the irony you started the game with your rules eh, you should finish it as intended its about who you go with, not where you go But as it's next door, so i'll see what I can do Quote Link to comment
+Unobtainium Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Personally I think no body should find the cache to allow the honeymooning couple to the grab the FTF Quote Link to comment
+HouseOfDragons Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 But as it's next door, so i'll see what I can do Don't do it! It's a "curse of the FTF" cache I am, however, giggling in a very childish manner over your TB's current location. If only you were getting married after the start of August, I could have taken it to Antigua for you. Quote Link to comment

+Woppy'n'Jules Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Woppy here this time... Well... I must say a 6,988.2 mile round trip for it to end up 34 miles from where we live, with a month to go, tickled me pink. I had been wondering if it'd make its way 34.1 miles East and end up at the cache we've got hidden in the wall of the church where we're getting hitched. Oooh, that'd be just too good a tale!! ... but how VERY efficient ... I could nip out and grab it whilst waiting for her to arrive and "job done" as they say!! Wedding and Honeymoon all completed the same afternoon Well I see Ryuchan was as good as their word and that Steinbos has grabbed our bug so all is not lost for Jules! Though, I'm gutted, as I had been flicking through the Nauticalia catalogue and been eyeing up the Night Vision Goggles that I could have treated myself to if I could have kept the Honeymoon to a quick day-trip Tee hee!

+AuntieWeasel Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 We used to drive past Pratt's Bottom on our way from London to the coast. I always begged to stop and have tea in Pratt's Bottom. Just think what you could tell you kids... Quote Link to comment
+HouseOfDragons Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm kind of hoping it ends up in Titsey Hill which isnt that far from Pratts Bottom. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I would have thought slight North of here would be an ideal honeymoon location. Quote Link to comment

I know a pub in Titsey Hill, lovely fire place and once Woppy's stomping ground. Anyway Im happy that the bug is out of there- Pratts Bottom has tearful memories of getting lost just off the M25. I thank you and anytime i can help in our area then I will I salute you Quote Link to comment

+reddeeps Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I think you should have a travelling honeymoon and vist all the places the bug went to!! However with the volcanic ash it might just have done you a favour. Quote Link to comment

+mickyz Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Good thinking Bacas , but then I suppose you could get a good last-minute offer to Aussieland. But where has the TB been for the last month? !!!!! :confused.com( Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) I know this is a hefty bump for this topic but does anyone know whether it has a happy ending?
