Okay, time to start planning...including luggage.

I'll certainly be bringing Pixy Stix (unless Anna still has them covered), but aside from that, does anyone have any specific medicinal American Junk Food requests? Blow Pops? Any other "famous from footage/fic" items? Anything you've heard of in a story or interview but had no idea what it actually was? Or just anything that you remember from Camps past that you'd like to see again.

Chime in and Let Me Know!

If you can't spare the space I can pick up some Reese's. We DO get American chocolate over here (just more expensive, obvs). I need to bring some over for friends anyway.

BLOW POPS PLEASE. I wanna say gum in general but I think I can get my fill with the stuff in the UK, heh. Oh oh some sweet tarts would be awesome!

'Kay, I picked up a medium bag of Reese's pieces and York pieces (I loooooove York Peppermint Patties), so you can cover the cups. I think the minis will do fine for everyone.

Also, some boxes of sweet tarts please!

What other ones did you bring the last time?

I would love some twizzlers and lemonheads! Mmmm...

I'm also bringing along some...you guys would probably call it pork jerky. To me it is nothing less than manna and the best thing about Chinese New year.

We do have a lot of Reece's over here now, I've seen both the big cups and mini's. So if space is an issue I'm sure Tesco will have them.

Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter! Apparently this Exists, and I wish very much to sample it.

Splendid! I made a pilgrimage to Milton Keynes in part to find some in the shop that sells American groceries, only to find the shop had closed... See you soon!

I have about half a box of Pixie Stix left, so a small top-up is probably in order.

I still haven't heard anything more about the handbag, but I'll let you know if that changes. :-(

I second the wish for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I quite like those even though I find American chocolate in general pretty horrifying. I've no preferences when it comes to size, I don't think.

It wouldn't suprise me if you could get Reeses in Stockholm too these days. Here out in the countryside it's definitely nonexistant though.

Um, this is not like super important or anything, but I've always wanted to have some measuring cups like these: http://tinyurl.com/3l7w2m3. So if they don't take up too much space and it is no bother than I'd love for you to bring me a set. I'd totally prefer some cheap, plastic ones btw, this was just a nice picture of what I meant. I can either give you the money for them at Camp or PayPal it in advance :) . Thanks! <3

Okay, awesome! Thank you! <3

I just checked Amazon.de and they do have Power Rangers in Space, the complete season on 5 DVDs for 23,97 €. And the good thing about German DVDs is that you can always choose languages between dubbed German and English :) . Let me know if you need me to pick it up for you as I already leave early next Monday.

I'm spending a couple days with Terri before Camp which is why I already leave super early this year :) . And I just ordered it for you!

And yes, $35 in Pounds - the price of the measuring cups totally works for me, thanks! :D

Have to ask.... are there no measuring cups/spoons in Germany??

so jealous of everybody going

Nope, not exactly. Our recipes are usually in gram/liter and so we use measuring cups like this http://tinyurl.com/626cxko which have liter and gram for sugar and flour on them. Or we use a scale. And just normal spoons for spoon-y stuff.
I do love that your cup/spoon system though so I've always wanted a set.


we're going to miss you so much :(

If there is any way you could fit in a pack or five of good beef jerky, I'd love you forever. The one thing Christopher misses about working in the States is the jerky, the British stuff just isn't the same. I can totally give you the money and so many, many hugs in exchange. You'll make a Scotsman very happy! *bats eyelashes at you*

I'm bringing some bbq pork jerky this time that's a delicacy here. I haven't found a meat lover that *doesn't* love it!

Q: Do you ever declare any stuff to customs whenever you come in?

They're all individually vacuum packed. Aaaand I've gotten plenty of it past customs before without declaring...*twiddles thumbs*
