    Well, I popped open the box last night and WOW!
    I got to see a few things again that visited here last time as well as 1 or 2 things remaining from what I addded last go around:)
    I've put some things aside that I will be taking and a pile of things to add as well.

    We had the baby's first pediatrician checkup today, so I expect to get a box from the Post Office tomorrow (Wednesday) and if possible get it out late in the afternoon or Thursday.

    Thanks to all for your well wished and kind support of my delay on getting the box out.
    This is truly a family on these forums.

    Joe.

    I want to thank everyone that has participated in the "Travel Box 2012 Nationwide Tour". You guys did a super job in moving the box along quickly without any hitches.

    The box will definitely go on another additional Nationwide Tour, I will be announcing those details shortly.

    I just got back home and would like to announce that "The Box" was shipped out this morning.
    I will post the tracking number, what I received from the box, and my offerings to the box in a post sometime later today.

    Thanks again to Brad for managing this venture and to everyone for their congratulatory wishes on my new daughter and understanding my delay with the box.
    Joe.

    Great picks Joe. Sometimes it's best to be last.:) I'd forgotten about the vintage blades I put in there. I tried one out of each pack and found them rough. It was a good experience though, it taught me how much blades have improved in the last 50 years. I've heard really bad things about those Pakistani straights, but I'd be interested in looking at one if it makes it back to me in the second round.

    "Travel Box 2012", has returned from it's first nationwide tour. It is has traveled west, southwest, the plains, east, southeast, and lastly south.
    The great news the box is as full as when it left Fort Smith, it's still as heavy too.

    I want thank everyone for making the "Travel Box" such a huge success, moving it quickly across the country. We shared the excitement of Joe's daughter coming into the world.
    I will start a new thread shortly to announce the "Travel Box 2012" second nationwide tour.

    Again thank you everyone for making this a huge success, I hope everyone had fun. I had a blast seeing the variety posts of the box's stops what was added.
