There are about a dozen BBM3 packages which never arrived. Nancy's package for Pascale was shipped in mid November and four months later was finally delivered to Pascale - YES! Dare I hope that a few more will surface?
Hello Cathy,
Hope you are well. Do you remember me? I’m Pascale, from Italy and took part in your BBM 3 last November, but I’ve not received my package... until Thursday. Yes, it has finally arrived!
Nancy sent it to me from San Francisco on November 16: it took exactly 4 months to reach Italy – quite incredible. I guess Nancy would have taken the same time if she came here on foot and handed it over personally!!
Imagine my surprise when I arrived home and found a note saying there was a large parcel for me at the post office. Nancy’s package included various sugary snacks and also wasabi peas, which I had never tried before. And there was a very nice letter describing her Thanksgiving American/Asian traditions, together with two beautiful cards with pictures of the farmer’s market in San Francisco and interesting recipes. Finally, three food sections of her local newspaper and a nice picture of her kitchen. I enclose a picture of her package – Sorry for the poor quality, but my camera is quite old.
Have a nice day
Pascale

Hi Cathy,
I was reading again what I wrote you last week. Well, I was quite in a hurry and see I made some mistakes: The months the package took are indeed 4 and not 5 and the photo was of Nancy's kitchen - not yours, obviously!
Again, thanks for this experience. I hope the package I mailed in November is still on its way to Asia and not stuck somewhere.
Bye
pascale
Pascale - I'm so sorry, I should have caught both of those. I guess it was late when I posted this and I didn't even think to check the math! Anyway, I've corrected both now.
Hi, Cathy,
There is hope!
Tootles,
Anni
Cathy, you can not how happy to read this post. Not because I participated in BBM-3, but I am so ecstatic for Pascale whom I don't even know! His experience mirrors mine!! My sis sent a Xmas package from Hawaii around Thanksgiving last year and as of yet, it still hasn't arrived. But now after reading this, I will have my husband go down to the central P.O. and make the rompipalle (Pascale should know this term). Of course, should it arrive while I'm here in HI, I guess I gotta wait til I get back. ;-)
hi cathy, oops...hope everything works out as planned and nothing goes disappearing for good!
Oh, how wonderful. This makes me hope that my lost BBM 2 parcel which I sent from Sweden to US maybe still will be delivered to the recipient some day...
What a fun idea, Cathy! Are you thinking of doing a BBM4? Would love to participate!
Oops, after a little searching, I see that I'm waaay behind and clueless in this whole BBM thing. Will have to do more homework on this...
Hi Rachel - as you probably discovered BBM4 is winding down right now. It was hosted by Templar. I haven't heard anything about BBM5 yet.
