Carol, I'm sure he will love visiting Cornwall! How fun!
I posted this in his blog too, but will do so here as well. I would like to have Wendell visit a few more American members, then send him off on a Wandering Wendell World Tour so he can visit our members in other countries. To cut down on shipping costs and the amount of time standing at post offices filling out forms, he will visit everyone who has signed up in country A first, then country B, then country C, then come back to the US and continue his wanderings. As mentioned in the first post of this thread, this means people will not get to host him exactly in the order they signed up- some will be bumped back and some will go earlier than expected- but that's what happens with logistics sometimes and he WILL get to everyone eventually!
If anyone from within the United States who has already signed up is willing to ship Wendell internationally, please let me know! I have 2 Americans already who say they can ship internationally and that's great, but I'm just wondering if anyone else is able to as well. It will cost a bit more to ship internationally and you will need to fill out some customs forms, but it shouldn't be too pricy, especially if you ship him in a small padded envelope instead of a box. Lucky for us, Wendell is squishable
To our non-American members, so far we have 2 Canadians, 1 Australian, and 1 person from the UK signed up to receive him. It will probably be a couple months before the world tour begins, but go on and sign up now if you want him to visit you
After his first world tour it will be a while until he goes abroad again. Also, anyone who lives outside of the US will need to be willing to mail Wendell internationally. He will visit everyone in one country before moving on to the next, but that still means someone in each country will need to ship him abroad and I'd hate him to get stuck somewhere!
