What a great day to travel. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right. But wait. This is June, right? Overcast, but a great day to 'get out of Dodge'! Our van is stuffed with lots of inventory! See you in Rapid City! 
Doesn't everybody travel like this? Gotta love the Ghana Crazy lady...and of course, Tom, too!

What a week it has been. I have been making a ton of phone calls, and learning so much about paperwork. We have been going back and forth from our US broker, to our contact in Ghana, to Minneapolis, over to South Carolina, and back to Ghana again. It looks like our container is getting loaded next week at the port. From there, it will take a 32 day ocean ride. Once it hits land, it will take a train trip to Minneapolis. (about 10 days) Our broker will get it cleared through customs there. Truck to our door. Sounds simple. We are so excited to see all the beautiful baskets. Our basket buyer has been gathering them since January, so it has been a long process, but will be well worth it. We can't wait!
