Excellent; still in and looking forward to this finally getting going!
It is yes-and-no intentional. The entire route currently follows a "shortest-distance-to-the-next-stop" method. If someone can clarify to me that postage change from moving Hamburg under the first pass through Germany is less than the change from making the UK ship directly to Finland, then yes, small changes can be made here and there.I just saw in the OP list that you split up Germany is that intentional?
Postage costs would suggest to add Hamburg to the rest of the Germany group.
Same goes for Canada maybe‽

The route isn't perfect. I am certainly open to some suggestions, particularly when it comes to crossing borders.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I did this quick so please forgive me!
Can you give us something for scale? As it is difficult to gauge the size. It's clearly not A4 as the ratio is wrong . Appart from that it looks perfectly adecuate.
I would suggest something with thick paper so that the chances of leakage and transparency to other pages is minimised.

Yeah, I can edit the Germany one. I'm not sure about if it will make a difference in Canada or not (I vaguely recall US<->Canada rates being not to terrible, but I'll double-check), but if so, I'll simply throw Ontario in after Alberta, before going to Mexico.Inter-country postage will always be cheaper than cross border postage. At least here in Europe distance between recipients is a non issue regarding postage.
So it makes sense in my mind do group by country first and foremost.
So my suggestion would be to move Bufbaf to the rest of the Germany group, order within the Germany group is secondary as postage times hardly vary. Mind you grouping by explicit city is obviously sensible.
And maybe move the two Ontario's Mr.F and tell yourself to the end of the canada line.
As for what I'll put in the notebook, I guess I'll just take some pictures of stuff around town. Kind of weird knowing that someone else from the same small town is getting it next.
This is also true. But do it at your own risk. I have it on good authority that besada prefers to hand off mail by using a chicken sphincter as a glove.Some of us may even be close enough to pass it on personally.
Social interaction vs postage costs

Don't know who you are, Mike Down, but you're gonna get a personal delivery from me.if you're okay with that

Ok so this is just a MOCK-UP I'm going to have someone with much better writing skills than me to do it.
This is an old sketchbook I bought for school years ago that I used to take notes. I was thinking of either getting one of these or a notebook like Khalifa had picked out.
So then front and back for autographs, then as another gaffer had mentioned everyone coloring in, doodling or what have you on the second front page, I would start on the back page to this one and front 3rd page

Swell idea, I wanna suggest writing your GAF username followed by location below your own signature. Or should we do this on every page so we know where in the world they were filled up?
Also, I'm still in for this thing!!!
The signature page can be whatever you want to sign. I do recommend putting your handle + location at the top of your page though so that we know who wrote what page!

Yeah, I can see myself driving it over to the next Gaffer nearby. Don't be scared. Shhhh.
Keeping an eye on this. This looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I'll hijack one of the gaffers in new york and put something in the book.
Here's my video of the NYC meetup:

Awesome! Let's get this thing going!
I take it Besada is going to do the logo, or whatever?
Gotcha. That works.I was going to make a big circle outline, if he is an artist he could make it look like the proper logo.
I can't be the only one who has no idea what to put in it.
That actually got me thinking, it would be kinda awesome if this isn't just a scrapbook.. but one that contains a ridiculous fictional story that's pieced together by us through photos, drawings, writing, etc. Haha.No idea whatsoever, loads of time before it reaches our shores though, lots of being inspired by the others first.
