Boston
is lovely at this time of year...not quite autumn yet (no colors in the leaves), but the heat and humidity have gone. Hope your package is enjoying itself...the South Postal Annex is quite a nice place to visit, right on the waterfront (though it is on a channel, rather than river or ocean front! LOL) and many folks visit there 24/7 (granted, they all work there, but still...your package won't lack for friends).
My best "lost" story: my DH and I had planned a trip to Quebec back in 2008. We rented a house for a week and they requested a deposit by mail. No problem...or so I thought. Wrote the check, put the proper "airmail" postage on it and off it went. Mind you, this was about 3 months prior to our vacation, so plenty of time to get from the Boston area up to Quebec City. As it turned out, we could have
walked to Quebec faster than our deposit traveled. I called the landlord 2 weeks prior to arrival, but since she spoke no English and I no French, I had no idea if she received our check. All I could understand was "Bon" (which I took to mean "good"). Off we drove and got to the house. Landlord (and an interpreter) met us with they key and handed us our letter (unopened). It had traveled down to Guyana (South America) and had just arrived in Quebec the previous day! Around the World in 80 Days??? How do you get "Guyana" from "Quebec"...typewritten and clearly printed, is anybody's guess! Letter had a great vacation and so did we.
