We have all our flight and staging info now...and with that we now have OUR FIRST REAL ADDRESS IN BELIZE!
Greg and Kevina Casaletto
Peace Corps
P.O. Box 492
Belmopan
Belize
We will be able to receive letters and packages to this address for the entirety of our service. However, once we get our final placement we might get another PO box closer to us. Any who, they said the Belize postal system is not nearly as fast or as predictable as the US. If you want to send us a letter just put the date on it and number them so we know if one got lost and can figure out about how long it took.
A few other tips for mailing things:
-Put postcards in envelopes or else they might end up as wall decorations in the post office.
-If you want to send a package try to use a padded envelope instead of a box. Boxes tend to be taxed and opened more frequently.
-Also, it can take anywhere from 10 days to a month for mail coming from Belize to arrive in the US...so be patient with us:)
-And hey, if you want to start sending stuff now we might actually get it by the time we arrive!
Now I must go back to organizing and packing. We are still taking carloads to Good Will...just when I think we have almost nothing left to our name we discover another closet. Good news: We can now park a car in the garage!!!!
Hey Greg and Kevina! Thanks for commenting on our blog. We have been reading your blog for a while now also!
ReplyDeleteWe can totally sympathize with the packing, organizing, and making trips to Goodwill...lol.
We look forward to meeting you guys - in only two weeks! Eeek!
Hi again!
ReplyDeleteWe have a quick question for you guys. Did you receive an actual "Staging Packet" in the mail, or is that just all the emails w/info they sent out? We have our print-off staging ticket from Sato, but that is it. We just want to make sure we arent missing anything this late in the game...lol
Thanks!
Clifton and Alyson
