.... you are driving along the road and see a HUGE sign advertising Group Caching and you wonder how you are going to remember the phone number, when your brain computes it's actually Group Coaching and you are driving past a Tennis Club :lol:

... it takes you 15 minutes to realise that the baked slice that needs to be taken to work could actually be stored and carried in those spare Sistemas that are sitting in the garage.

I was at the farmers' market on Sunday and felt like I'd done something wrong: I'd forgotten to bring a container for cannoli so grabbed a sistema from the car. It felt awful putting food into a cache! Then when it was time to clean it my husband had to ask if sistemas can be put through the dishwasher; we have tonnes but they're all spray painted.

You know you're a Geocacher when. . .your planning for a quick trip to another state consists entirely of running PQs and trusting your friends to show you what's interesting while you're on the road! And you pack more cables than clothes (if I ever get to packing).

You have to work out how to keep the streak going while travelling to England. If going via Changi I've got a GCA virtual at the airport \:D/

Not an issue! I leave late on Wed night, so no probs with a pre flight find :)

I fly via Dubai but no time to leave the airport. I arrive in London 24 hours after leaving Sydney, but due to catching up 10 hours it will only be Thursday afternoon when I land :D

First job in England, cache!

Coming back will test you.

I recently had a couple of hours in Bangkok airport. Thought about doing the cache about 1.5km away but worried about coming back through customs. Cavity search sprang to mind :shock:

When you can't cache for long periods you feel intense feelings of withdrawal, depression, the world is not the same. :cry:
Your family notices a different person when you can get back out there! :D
Your handbag is chosen by whether you can fit a GPS in it! \:D/

I recommend http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... 9c7e949c2a Cranebank Troll's as a first England cache. Wasn't too hard to get to, good size cache, nice park.

............. your company is sending you on short notice (3h) on a 48 h trip Frankfurt - Seoul - Frankfurt and the first thing which comes to your mind before you book a hotel is "How do I get the PQ?".

(left FRA Wednesday evening - arrived in Thursday evening - found some caches - slept 4h - returned to the airport - returned home Friday evening)

You're at hospital, as you crippled your foot (or other body part) pretty spectaculary, and needed to get it looked at.
You are absolutely disgusted that the nearest cache is like a kilometre away.

(I think i might be over-exaggurating slightly. but still, i wasnt/still am not capable of walking that far!)
