Subject: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 09 May 03 - 04:29 PM Born of the "where's Brett?" thread, let's have some fun with this one! Here's what started it in the other thread: Some thoughts on things to take, Naes; just for fun:
cheesecloth for covering things, ala mosquitto netting
lots of your own batteries, if they don't put you over your shipping weight limit, as they probably will be very expensive there
cotton, cotton, cotton clothing - less irritation from the heat and humidity than synthetics, though you might be able to pick up some awesome island clothing!
snake bite kit **BG**
corn starch or baby powder for those really sweaty parts :-)
hats
Rog, who lived in the Philippines says the only thing he'd bring is a swimsuit!
umbrella for those non-typhoon days:-)
rubber boots for when you are tired of your feet being wet and growing webbing
Have fun!! I am excited for you! kat |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Naemanson Date: 09 May 03 - 04:51 PM Ooh, thanks for the link to the catalog. I'll have fun leafing through that. Any good sources for large luggage? I only own two small pieces. I'd like to get one large piece I can wear as a backpack and one wheeled soft sided piece. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 May 03 - 08:28 PM Brett, Here's a good place to look for stuff like that. You don't necessarily have the entire range of colors to choose from at the remainder site, but if you are living dangerously, perhaps a chartrouse backpack isn't so bad? ;-) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 09 May 03 - 09:59 PM About the electricity thing, wonder if BillD would let his hamsters got for a year or two to keep your *pewter* fired up? Anything solar-powered, esp. a fan or two would be good, I am sure! That catalogue is FUN! |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: GUEST Date: 10 May 03 - 12:55 AM Take small things important to you, like meds you might take for granted where you are now. Vitamin C? Stuff like that. The island has everything, but sometimes it's 'on the next ship'. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Charley Noble Date: 10 May 03 - 11:50 AM You may want to pack and take your own parachute rather than count on the one they hand you as you're flying over the island at 30,000 feet. There's a song waiting to be composed if you don't... Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: SINSULL Date: 10 May 03 - 12:46 PM Buy a trunk and ship some things ahead. Then, pack a carry on bag with medications, a change or two of clothes or at least underwear, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, and such essentials so that when your luggage is lost you have a survival kit. Pack cash in a variety of places for the same reason. If you will crave something like chocolte or peanut butter, take some along. Address book with emails and snail mail addresses. A phone card. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: kendall Date: 10 May 03 - 02:26 PM Utah Phillips said he flew on one of those planes, he asked for a parachute, and they gave him a sewing machine and a silkworm. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Barry Finn Date: 10 May 03 - 10:35 PM definitly bring your underware & a bathing or birthday suit. We'll miss ya Bret. Barry |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Naemanson Date: 10 May 03 - 11:05 PM I ALWAYS have my birthday suit on, Barry. As far as the other things go, it is a trial to think of what I want now and what I can have come along later. I doubt I'll need a parachute. Charlie, you can write your song. Just don't plan on writing that song about me. My real problem is how to get my 3 guitars safely to Guam. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: catspaw49 Date: 10 May 03 - 11:07 PM Ah Brett, you should come and visit me.........Lehmans is one of our yearly stops back home. I grew up about 40 miled from them, big Amish country.....and great Swiss cheese!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 30 May 03 - 04:42 PM HeyaBrett, how soon as you leaving? How long will you be off-line? Do we need to watch for smoke signals along the way or something?**bg** Bon Voyage and Good Luck! luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Charley Noble Date: 30 May 03 - 06:17 PM Well, our Bon Voyage for Brett is Sunday evening if you'd like to join us! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Naemanson Date: 07 Jun 03 - 07:57 AM How soon am I leaving? Well, all my worldly possessions are curently in packing crates on their way to Guam and everything elase I own is in a couple of suitcases in the other room. I am at my sister's house and will soon be leaving to deliver my truck to New Jersey to ship it over to Guam too. I'd love to come visit, Spaw. I'd love to make a Great Circuit and visit all of you. However it looks as though I'll be visiting the Aussie Mudcats first. Australia is only a short (5 hour) flight from Guam. Anyway, I am off on my great adventure. Don't know when I can sign in again. Wish me luck. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: SINSULL Date: 07 Jun 03 - 01:14 PM Damn! He was supposed to stop by my place on his way to NJ but cancelled out. He left a phone message while I was out in the garden. Bye, Brett. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jun 03 - 01:22 PM HeyaBrett! Don't forget BillytheBus is active, again, too. You could fly over to his little Island and take the grande tour...t'would be awesome! I am so excited for you. Don't forget to breath now and then and get a net for the stomach butterflies.:-) Lots of Mudcatters will be thinking of you and *lighting* you on your way. What an adventure! Write when you are able and don't forget to wear your best undies! (Well, some mother had to say it!**bg**)Oh, and tell Aunt Clara helloo! luvya and Bon Voyage, kat |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Charley Noble Date: 08 Jun 03 - 12:52 PM Well, we did have a wonderful Bon Voyage Party/Pot Luck for Brett a week or so ago. Attending were Brett, Fred Gosbee and Julia Lane, Norris Dale, Bobbi Keppel, Pat Gardiner, Carter Ruff and his wife Anita, and myself and my wife Judy. Lots of fine food and good songs. Any everything did get packed up. I thought the movers were going to be reduced to tears when they saw the boxes and boxes of books in Brett's basement storage locker. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Naemanson Date: 09 Jun 03 - 08:02 AM Hi Guys, I'm in Connecticut. This afternoon I give up my truck to the shipping company and tomorrow morning I fly out of Newark. The movers were funny. As we were closing up the moving van and I was signing the inventory the supervisor turned to me and said, "If I never see another book as long as I live it will be too soon." Good thing I cleaned out a lot of stuff last year! Who is BillyTheBus? I don't think I've seen him/her here before. I'll write more from somehere else. Enjoy, Brett |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 09 Jun 03 - 11:49 AM He's a storyteller, tour-bus driver (all 14 miles of the island) and occasional Mudcatter, Sam Sampson. Quite entertaining, crusty and fun, also working on a book, has a degree in botany or something. Can't remember. Here's his website. His tour bus, Billy, is famous, too.:-) Guam, here he comes!! Take good care of him!! ttfn, kat |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: JennyO Date: 10 Jun 03 - 09:52 AM Hey Brett, let us know when you will be visiting Australia. Us Oz 'cats are a pretty hospitable bunch! Jenny |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Jun 03 - 12:30 PM Brett was mentioning that periodically the Naval Base he does contract work for runs charters to Sydney. But he'll probably be settling down for a week or two before he tries to take advantage of that! ;~) Cheerily, Charley Noble, Brett's singing friend and former landlord |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Naemanson Date: 13 Jun 03 - 03:06 AM You got it, Jenny, I'll certainly be posting a thread about any upcoming journey to the land of Oz. I'd like to meet as many Australian Mudcatters as possible. Otherwise, I will be sending out an update shortly to let people know what's happening in/on Guam. |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: katlaughing Date: 13 Jun 03 - 11:23 AM That's it, Naes?!! YOU ARE THERE and just casually let us know in this non-fanfare way?! **BG** Seriously, it is wonderful to see your posting as it must mean you landed safely, etc. I look forward to hearing more, at your convenience. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Charley Noble Date: 16 Jun 03 - 01:27 PM Good to hear, Brett, that your flight didn't miss the island all together! It's a mighty big ocean. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Jun 03 - 04:15 PM Please, more than a non-descript line about future travel! What does the place look like, where are you living, how is the weather, are the beaches great, are you beating snakes away from your doorstep, do you need mosquito netting, how is the food, what are the grocery store prices like, how is the radio reception, do you have satellite access to the outside world--give us the full story! |

Subject: RE: BS: What should Brett (Naes) take to Guam? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Jun 03 - 06:31 PM Do those snakes really taste like chicken? Rest up and then let us know how you arew doing, how to get in touch with you, and what critical necessities you left behind. SINS |
