Description:

So you’re going to be the "tour" guide of your hometown. Only your at work like normal. SO you must send your guest(s) off with maps and the likes..

What this swap is about is that your going to go and find/get some travel brochures about your hometown. I want you to think along the lines as: Maps (detailed as much as possible), tourist spots, and maybe sport's information, postcards.. 2 for 1 coupons for dinner…(most if not all are available from your local AAA for free!)

Just think that Aunt Bea's is coming to your hometown for the first time and she wants YOU to be the "tour guild"...she’ll want to see all the “hot tourist spots��? and some corky places too! It can be within a car drive from your home also. She'll need to know where the good places are to eat too, so don't forget to drop her a note telling her not to miss Bob's Buger joint!

THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL swap…..you will only have one partner.

If you have more then 2 no sends then please don’t join this swap! As always those who feel they were rated unfairly please contact me about staying in. IF you have questions please email me.

IF YOU HAVE NO PROFILE you may be dropped from this swap! Please make sure that you have filled it in.

There is NOTHING to see in my hometown worth seeing but I will be on holdiday in a place I vist regularly anyway on the send date. Can I do it for that city instead? I guarantee my parnter will prefer it!

LOL~yes! You must live where my husband grew up....it does have a "blinking yellow light" now......LOL jakfrostwife

Really? - can you send me a picture - I\'ve never seen one here! Actually I just googled my town for tourism. The only thing is a Glass museum (yawm!)

The biggest news in my hometown is that we just got a Target!! Seriously my family made a date night out of the grand opening. There were people waiting outside the door in lines.

AND we live in California. Never would have guessed huh?

jakfrostwife 02/25/2007 #

I don't know I just came back from California and I guess every state has a few "one horse towns"....but everything down there was in bloom (yikes for me).......except the grape vines..(hint as to where I was at).....So the big "city" is where we hung out alot.

Hi, I am still a newbie, but have been faithfully sending out the packages from my first swaps, hope it is ok to join.

If you keep me someone can get a big fat envelope filled with Tasmanian goodies, One of the prettiest places on earth :D

jakfrostwife 03/18/2007 #

Well then we shall keep ya! Who doesn't want to go to Tasmanian? It's on my list, that's for sure! LOL

jakfrostwife 03/18/2007 #

Ok, I took a sneek peak to see where everyone was from and we have some from: Finland, Demark, 2 from Australia and another from England......and there are three of us from my home state (we're in all different spots of our state too?) the rest of you are as spread out across the USA as it get's! Well....that should keep you all guessing!

jakfrostwife 04/ 1/2007 #

We have only 4 days to get our package together and mailed off! This is no Aprils fools either, lol

BleakOptimism 04/ 2/2007 #

My package to CD Clocks went off today, I truly psuhed the limits of how much I can fit in an envelope on this one ... yikes there was a lot of stuff! Hope it is enjoyed, now to sit back and see where I am visiting

jakfrostwife 04/ 3/2007 #

If your partner doesn't want to visit you, I WILL! I know where you live....LOL

zanylady 04/ 3/2007 #

Ha....just noticed that my partner is the big cheese....jakfrostwife....fat envelope on its way to you.

Too bad this swap wasn't earlier...you could have come by on your way from the sine country!

Enjoy Marlene

jakfrostwife 04/ 4/2007 #

LOL~Well now I'll have another reason to come back down! I'll know all your old haunts and I can track you down~

jakfrostwife 04/ 4/2007 #

WOW I counted and 11 out of 18 haven't either mailed them or checked the "I've sent box" yet?

Come on people, visit your local gas station! Most hotels will have all the tourist stuff.....I'm telling you I found most of my local stuff at the car wash! Tours and things to do~got a map off of mapquest and used that high lighting pen~wrote a brief letter as to our favorite java spots! IT's easier then you think~added some "spice" from the northwest and BAM it's was done~
