Well... MR3 has come and gone, and my pre-raffle a day before it. Both of my prizes from that raffle were going international, and I went to the hassle of filling out customs forms for them. This included tracking information.
Unfortunately, USPS is not FedEx, so the tracking isn't terrific.
Today I got the latest update on both packages. They went through New York two days ago. For one package, that makes sense, it is on its way to France, so a passage through New York isn't bad progress.
The other one is going west.... to Vancouver. Why did it go East to go west???

As for my Secret Santa gift... Well that left my possession a couple of days later than the two prize envelopes. But I just bought postage for that one, so I have no tracking on it. And since they were supposed to be anonymous, I didn't put a return address on it. So who knows where that could be. Just hoping that it gets there eventually and my victim... err recipient posts about it so I know that my silver gift got where it was going.
