I missed last years swap, as I was transiting between Florida and Dhaka, but I signed up for this one after my great experience meeting Becky a couple of years ago. This time I was matched with the Red Menace Abroad and she sent me a box I’ll dub “A Taste of Nicaragua.”
Panda baby will wear the little red dress because some aggressive laundering shrank it a bit, and we’ll try a punch mix tonight with our taco dinner, but I have no idea how we’ll use the cigars. Perhaps we’ll hand them out to strangers in the hospital after Panda’s birth, like a 1950’s movie dad.
Very fun again, I hope next year’s swap is just as entertaining!

Oooh, I’d love to hear more about this Foreign Service Swap!
Michelle, It usually happens in January/February each year (when we’re all in the winter doldrums, except those people in the Southern Hemisphere!). It’s organized by Crafty Foreign Service/. You should also join the FS Bloggers facebook group, since I don’t think you’re on there already. This is the link to the group: http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/170973699616423/
Do you have to be invited to join the Facebook group? I keep getting a “not available” message for that link.
I sent you an email.
I tried to find the group too! I haven’t blogged a lot about being an EFM yet but we’re leaving for Manila June 10th and the swap box is an amazing idea!
I sent you an email!
