Seeing that there's still a glitch in Peregrine's travels, I've decided to launch one of his distant relatives on a world tour.

Meet Lester the Lion. (Wow, what an original name {°¤°} )

Like Peregrine, his journey starts here in Japan, then he will go to Australia for Christmas/New Year.

Here's a list of people who will kindly host the Lion on his sojourns.

*list to be edited, obviously*

Timfythetoo Columbus, Ohio *** done***

Meda4 Netherands

Puckzzz Veghel, Netherlands

Judi Australia

slaakso Hawaii

joynim Wellington, New Zealand

citymars New York City
[thumb]gaurav[/thumb] Kathmandu, Nepal (Terrific!)

JaimeVinas Houston, Texas

hihosilver Los Angeles area

purpleflutterby13 Cambridge, England

cosprenks Colorado Springs, Colorado

you can count the Clan of Too in. Maybe if the weather is nice when he arrives we can take him to see his cousins at the Columbus Zoo.

I'll show him Holland if he would like that! I'm sure there are some more Dutch DPC-ers who would like to show him around.

Oh gosh... Ya think he's old enough for that? Don't want to scar this fragile little fella.

Hmm, maybe not so much interest. Anyway, here's another pic.

I'm leaving for Australia on Saturday...

Send him over...the kids thoroughly enjoyed Peregrine and still ask where he is...so I am sure they will enjoy his company.

If he is in need of beach time send him to Kaua`i. I would love to host him and show him the island. It'd be Grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Judi can send him to me in NZ if you like :)

Travelling Lester.

Still looking for a couple of Australians to host him before he goes OS again. ;-)

Well, I just didn't have much time to devote to Lester while I was in Australia, but here are a couple more pictures. I'll send him on to

timfythetoo once I've done the write up in Lester's diary.

I will shoot you my address in a bit. I do believe that

aguapreta will be visiting sometime later this month. Maybe Lester can hitch a ride with him back to South America before he makes his next trip somewhere.

Lester made it this afternoon fine and dandy from Japan. He got to hang out with three of the top DPC models before hiding away to take a snooze and get over his jetlag. Hope the weather will be nice so we can go to some cool places this weekend.

OK - I am almost ready to send Lester out to his next destination. I apologize for keeping him so long. I was really sick the first week and life had been busy after that. I will PM a couple of people on the list down below but I would also be willing to send him to the next person who gets a hold of me. In the US or out - makes no difference to me. Let me know!

Good-oh. You ought to post some pics, too. ;-Þ

OK - Lester is getting all packed up to fly out to the Netherlands today. Sorry for keeping him so long. Life gets crazy. Lester had a great time here. Not alot of running around, more of a relaxing vacation. Rowan is going to miss him. Details in the diary.

Lester is on his way to the Netherlands as we speak. Though I wish I had sent him to NY first as it would have been significantly cheaper. ;)

Tim, I wish I had noticed this thread earlier. :-)

David, please add my name to the list when you get a chance. And when it's my turn, I guess the person who then has Lester will let me know via PM and I'll forward my mailing address to them?

PS: Lester has a diary?

I had gotten in touch with

Meda4 early last week to see if he was still up for Lester and he siad he was. So he was who I had planned on sending him to anyways. So know that that who will be in possession of Lester within 10 days or so. Shoot him a PM and I am sure the original list can be augmented to fit in those that are ready and willing to take Lester on.

And yes - he has a diary. Pictures and entries and all. Plus a little passport. David did real well organizing it up proper.

And one more apology for keeping him so long. I shoudl have had him out weeks ago.
