Boris

Yesterday on Johns birthday he got an envelope which felt a bit bulky!

Turns out it was a cute card from his daughter *and* a letter wrapped around a little soft bear.

In short... we have received 'Boris', he is a little bear that is a member of ToyVoyagers

Every little toy gets a few missions it has to complete, Boris' missions are:


Missions (0 out of 5 complete):
Incomplete: Let Boris gaze upon the Isle of Arran
Incomplete: Let Boris watch a game of snooker (he loves snooker)
Incomplete: Buy Boris an outfit off Ebay
Incomplete: Take Boris inside the Arctic Circle (preferably in the summer as the long nights scare him)
Incomplete: Take him to a concert (rock's his favourite)

Well.. the first one is easy, since we look out on the Isle of Arran, and even have a sticker donated by Gea & Gerrit saying 'Arran is for lovers' so that is nice for Boris!

Snooker shouldn't be too big of a problem but anything with 'buy' in it gets frowned upon since it might cause us to pay off the mortgage one second later and then the 4th one? The arctic circle?
How are we supposed to do that!!

I am not even gonna begin about a rock concert!

Anyway, luckily we are not totally and solely responsible for him reaching his missions and I can think of people who want to attend a rock concert or buy something for him from eBay but going to the arctic circle?!

On the website it says that you can also put him up for 'adoption' by leaving him somewhere where he is likely to be found by nice people who want to hold and cuddle him and take him to the arctic circle.

So.. how do I get him to the arctic cirlce!!! I tried to think out of my box here and I suppose what we are looking for here is one of those expeditions.

Do you think he would be safe if I sent him to this address? http://www.arctictreks.com/

:-)

Anyway.. bit of time yet, first he needs to be photographed and get his log updated to prove that he saw Arran!

All suggestions gratefully received!

I just remembered something. I know a girl who lives in Alta, which is waaay up north in Norway. It's somewhere around the Y on this map: http://www.stavanger-guide.no/to_from_stavanger.gif
She has a daughter, and maybe they would both think it would be fun to get Boris for a bit. I can check with her when I chat to her again.
