HOME in Jyväskylä, Finland - 6th August 2012
By: mmm105
Hello everyone!
My name is Suomi-boy. As you can see, I'm blue and white coloured. It's the colours of my homecountry, Finland. And guess what? My name is related to my homecountry, too. "Suomi" means Finland in Finnish language. Isn't that cool?
I'm so exited, because mommy said I could be a ToyVoyager and travel in different places and countries.
I want to see everything in the World (oh my... it's a big plan!).
I have a sister. Her name is Suomi-girl (take a look at the picture!). She is also a ToyVoyager!
I'm ready for my first adventure. Just can't wait to start my first journey...
Hugs,
Suomi-boy

HOME in Jyväskylä, Finland - 7th August 2012
By: mmm105
Hi!
It's my last day at home, so I wanted to have a party.
We toys were having a Tea Party, and it was fun!
After the party, I watched some pictures of USA. It's the country, where I'm going in my very first journey. I'm lucky, because I don't have to travel alone. I will travel with BarryO to visit his home.
Kurnau said goodbye to me. And then all others were saying it, too.
I'm happy, because my sister Suomi-girl can start her very first journey in the same day as me. She will go to visit in Germany.
Then I climbed into my envelope, and I noticed there's soooo dark inside. I really hope my journey will be safe and fast. But I'm happy that I have a company here in the envelope (BarryO).
Bye bye Finland! USA, I'm coming!
Hugs,
Suomi-boy

Hi Mom, I'm sending photos to let you know I have arrived in San Francisco. Guess what, in the same mail, Lexie arrived! So here we are, BarryO, Lexie, and yours truly. Then we met our host, Du-Du, his friend, POD-not, Squab, and Konrad. Will tell you more about our arrival when we get settled,
Love and lots of hugs,

Lexie came into our boys' bedroom very early to wake us up with lovely music. She chose the banjo because it is associated with American folk music. She plays like an angel. We are all in love with her. She is the only girl here.
She set up a breakfast party for us and shared the chocolate she brought from Australia. Then we looked at the postcards she, BarryO and I brought with us, and the stickers and pen mmm_105 sent from Finland; the pen has it's own ToyVoyager bear attached, so special.
Lexie planned our itinerary to reflect her love for music. Will show you where she took us next time. Hint: it's in the guidebooks and she can read! She is the perfect woman, like the pied piper, we will follow her anywhere.
Bye for now,
Your Suomi-Boy,
In love with Lexie

Howdy Sports Fans!
We went out on the roof to see if we can catch sight of Jeremy sailing back from Europe. It's too soon but we're practicing.
These funny-looking boats are 45-foot catamarans racing in the America's Cup World Series. There are teams here from Great Britain, France, Sweden, New Zealand, Italy, U.S.A. , South Korea, and China.
Be sure to check out the videos to see a U.S. boat crash into the Race committee boat and the China boat tipping over with the crew hanging on and/or falling into the water.

Many hugs from

Sunday the sun came out for the final day of the America's Cup World Series Racing. We settled in on our own private viewing bench away from the crowds and then walked along shore to get a look at the races and took a couple of zooms. The U.S. team (marked Oracle) came in second to Italy (the Prada boat) in the last race but had enough points to win the series. Yeah!!
We didn't see any sign of Jeremy yet. Still too early. Hope he's having fun.
Love & Hugs from
Your Suomi-Boy

A package arrived! It was DuDette's souvenirs from her visit to MA-17 and Alex's house. Hehe, it was addressed for DuDu. He got so excited. There was a postcard from his DuDette just for him and her mom; a menu from an Italian restaurant where she had her last meal in Berlin; an Easter egg, oh, has she been gone that long?; and most special of all was a big red heart. DuDu shared the candy with us and Lexie played the French horn. Ooh la la, isn't she gorgeous!!

Tree climbing!! Up on a hill, we found a nice viewing spot to see a white spot fly over. Wow!!
Hmm, mom, I looked up into the sky so long; maybe this is a blue-coloured day?

Lexie woke us up with her beautiful singing and then led us into the Little Theater where she is practicing for a special performance.
We were mesmerized by her Wurlitzer organ playing. Then she practiced some magic tricks. He he, a playing card landed in my hat. Of course, I volunteered to go up on stage to assist. I stepped into a big box. Lexie put a lid on it, said "abracadabra"; and, poof, I disappeared.
I sure hope it was a dream and I will see you again soon, Mom.
Your Suomi-Boy, somewhere.

Man, what a dream! How come we have headaches? Why are Konrad and BarryO saying, "'how about dem Bears" when the local team is called the Niners? Oh, yeah their favorite baseball team is called The Cubs. Silly bears.
We woke up late and Lexie came in playing some sort of zen instrument; not too hard on our throbbing brains; but then Lexie is always easy on the ears and eyes. She is offering to make breakfast for us. What did we do to deserve that? I'm falling in love with her all over again.
Hey, now I remember, we spent 12 hours in a sports bar waiting for her to figure out how to get us to re-appear. The excitement, the yelling, the drunks spilling out onto the sidewalk; gad!, was that us?
Yep!

BarryO took Lexie and me out to see two of the well-known sights. Do you know them, Mom? The other guys stayed in to prepare the TV room for a football game. Again? Yes! We love it!!
Next time we all will go to a place where you are more likely to see volunteer gardeners than tourists.
Have a good weekend, everyone,
Suomi-Boy

We went out onto a jetty to check out a musical geocache. Pipes were placed in the water to catch the music of the waves. We got there at high tide and could hear the waves lapping on the rocks but heard nothing through the pipes until we sat still for awhile. It just sounded like gulps. The fog horns were more musical, I thought; but this is a very good spot to "sit by the dock of the bay," geocache and have a picnic.
We think that big crane on a barge was scooping up sand to keep the channel to the Yacht Harbor clear. Nope, I don't want that job, I'm gonna join Squab in his career as a Park Ranger with a surf board on my truck.
This place must be haunted since it is made from tombstones that were moved here many many years ago when the city outlawed burials within its limits. Yep, it is on the list. Good thing we were not thinking about that. We had a lot of fun.
See 'ya later,
Your Suomi-Boy
