bosco Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Posted November 9, 2015 I expect them now lol... but the first one Benton posted a while back made me panic for a moment until I realized it was a joke now I expect it all the time lol
bosco Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 just getting up for work to find that the Frankfurt Express just arrived in Hong Kong!! Great news!!, it will be here for the day and then headed to Yantian China tomorrow. It will depart Yantian on the 12th and begin its route to Vancouver!!
5698k Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 I thought it had to go to Cuba, then New York first!!! Robert
GoFrogs91 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Bosco, I'm guessing that you are learning more than you ever wanted of Asian geography. Benton
bosco Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 Benton it is crazy lol!!! The good news is that the boat left Hong Kong... so my grill are officially on their way. They spend the day in Yantian China before starting there journey across the ocean. They should be leaving on the 12th Yantian time, which is already 13 hours ahead of my local time. This is great, I feel like I am rounding second base on my way to third!!
ckreef Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Until this thread I had no idea exactly what a container would go through to finally cross the ocean. I think this has been a learning experience for us all. I think you should get a decent sized map and trace the path your KK's took all the way from leaving the factory to arriving home. You could even put little date stamps everywhere it stopped along the journey. Would make a great conversation piece when guests start asking the question.
bosco Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Posted November 14, 2015 My grills pinged two days ago somewhere near Japan and now they are totally off the grid. They need a coastal line to pick up the signal so now I won't see or hear anything until it gets closer to Vancouver. 10 days!!
tinyfish Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 After Vancouver you won't here anything till the Toronto warehouse call you.
MacKenzie Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 After Vancouver you won't here anything till the Toronto warehouse call you. If they call you.
tinyfish Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 If they call you. Don't share Bosco/Ryan.
Jon B. Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 We were in Michigan this weekend and a Lake Freighter went by the cottage. The decks on it were totally clear. Redhead Sue (who was drunk texting Bosco Saturday night with possible names) said "Take a picture of it and send it to Bosco. Tell him all the containers fell in the water!!!" Wouldn't you know it....................That darn boat was gone by the time I got the camera!!!!!!!!!
