We had been warned .....

Let me explain a bit about what I'm going to tell you. The agency we use in Bulgaria loves to shop through Amazon.com, however, Amazon.com will not ship to Bulgaria. At one point the agency found a way around that -- ship to the agency in the states and have them ship the items to Bulgaria. Sounded like a good idea until customs in Bulgaria opened the packages and called to have the package picked up so additional taxes on the things could be charged. That got quite expensive.

The Bulgarian agency has now found a new way around this -- ship the items to families coming to Bulgaria and have the families bring them when they come. We didn't think we'd have a problem with bringing a few items until we received this e-mail ......

We order a bathing suit and a hut for me on Ollman's address, could you write us if they will bring us this things and if we could order more things to their address.

What A HUT???? A HUT????? Now I'm a pretty good packer .... but a hut might present a bit of a problem. Can't wait to see what we're going to be getting in the mail ... Amanda, I may need to borrow those space saving bags!?!?
