Anything sent to me will be returned in the same condition it was sent in.


Sorry, I just gave a number of paperbacks to one of the gals at work who was collecting a large mass of stuff to send over to our troops in country. Everything from lite reading to area history. DVDs are a good choice however a simple USB hard drive (500 Mb) is probably the best way to transport a lot of videos/movies. Just load 'em up, the small size would be ideal and can be walked to any computer for playing. (just watch out for the sticky fingers around camp!)

And I know you promise to bring books in same condition as left but no matter how hard you try, your buddies are going to want to read your books and they may not treat them so gently. I consider my book giving as books gone. As in - not mine anymore.

P.S. Return home healthy and in one piece, please.
