This is a test. It's only a test...
I mailed a care package today to Costa Rica. Here's the test: How long does it take for a package to make it from Little Rock, Arkansas to Costa Rica? Keep in mind that the package was mailed on a Friday. For testing sake: I took it to The Mailbox Place in Little Rock, AR on February 8, 2008.
Bets are on the table for how long it will take before we know it has made it to Costa Rica. To make the pool fair, the guy at The Mailbox Place told me, "It will make it in a reasonable amount of time". So, I have no idea how much time it will take before the package makes it.
What are your thoughts on a "reasonable amount of time"?
Bets start at my thought "a month". Of course, we won't know for sure until we hear from Turner on the date she received it.

My bet is on 26 days or 29 days. The three days is dependant on what time you dropped it at the mailbox place. If you dropped it in the afternoon, then I think it's set to leave for it's first destination on Monday morning. That leaves 26 days. I'm thinking it will arrive in Costa Rica in less than 8 and then it will take at least 15 days to get to Protrero Grande. Then I'm thinking it will take 3 days to actually get it in her hands and 1 day before she can let you know it's there.
How much do I win if I'm the closest without going over?????
Oh, winnings. I didn't think that far.
You win my admiration for getting it right. And any of my future hematomas...
