Fodors free gift ????????????
 

Hi<BR><BR>I got the Email ...... you will get a gift as one of the first 300 to register.<BR><BR>Hasn't arrived yet.<BR><BR>Others have the same experience ?<BR><BR>Peter<BR>Languedoc, France<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR><BR>

No, I got my free gift a couple of weeks ago. You can have it if you want. It's a book called &quot;How to Pack.&quot; <BR><BR>

Peter,<BR><BR>I think all of those who live in Europe and got that email will never get their &quot;free&quot; gift - but their free advice is of course always welcome on this board ;-) <BR><BR>Andre<BR>Zurich, Switzerland

Just recv.d my book last week. Want it?

I got the same; it's probably just taking a while to get to France.

I received mine just yesterday - the &quot;How to Pack&quot; book. I suspect yours will take a while to get to France. It took mine a while, since I live in a &quot;foreign&quot; country, too - South Dakota :-) <BR>P.S. I like your website - especially the picture of the snow on the vinyard.

Didn't get mine either. I'm still further north, in Belgium ...

Well if they were sending you what I got -- a set of refrigerator magnets with travel words on them, they've probably gotten stuck to the inside of an airplane if they sent them airmail!!!

Received mine just last week (US), &quot;How to Pack&quot;, yours is probably on the way to = )

I received my Fodors pin almost immediately after registering.

I got mine yesterday. A bottle of adhesive solvent to get that duct tape off of my hotel windows.

I got &quot;How to Pack&quot; also, probably at least two weeks ago by now. It might be useful for someone who'd never traveled.<BR><BR>One odd thing about it I didn't like was it came in a small package without any return address or identifying marks on it and I found that kind of creepy, because I don't like opening mail when I don't know who the sender is, especially a small package. I had them send it to my work address (which is a secure facility because I do work for the federal government) because I didn't want them to know my home address, so maybe I am more sensitive to that kind of stuff than others. I don't know why they did that--the big secrecy.

I got the Fodor's pin, to go with my other Fodor's pin, probably around the same time Christina got &quot;How to Pack.&quot; As I recall, the package had a Random House/Bertelsmann return address.

Hi Peter, I got the book too and you can have mine if you want.

Hi,<BR>I got my How to Tip some time ago - all the way over here in Australia!!

I got a pin quite soon after I registered. The package did have a return address on it.

Hi<BR><BR>Hmmmmm <BR><BR>judging from the above, I could set up in business selling nearly new &quot;how to pack&quot; books !<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com<BR>

Listen, for Danny or other staff lurkers, I want to say thanks for the gift, regardless. Nice touch.<BR><BR>Now, for the print publishing types at Fodors/Random House/Bertelsmann - are you kidding? How many of the &quot;over 100,000 in print&quot; customers paid $10 for the &quot;How to Pack&quot; book? Really?

Patrick.<BR><BR>Planes are made of aluminum ( or aluminium for some European readers).<BR><BR>Anyway, magnets won't stick to them.<BR><BR>However, too many magnet sets in one plane could mess with the navigation equipment, so it ends up in South Dakota, not France.

What's wrong with South Dakota?<BR><BR>Course if you are planning on having hot chocolate at Angelina's South Dakota could be a disapointment.
