So exciting news for everyone, we have a PO box of our own and it absolutely ROCKS! We appreciate people being patient with us (no one more so than our own parents) but now we want to pass along information about how you can get in touch with us directly.
Our Address:
Tony Markon and/or Stacey Frankenstein-Markon
PO Box 144
Mbale, Uganda
In just ten simple days your love magically travels to a town only 40 kilometers away!
But seriously, we now have a post office box and we really appreciate that you have been filtering your letters and notes through our parents. Luckily for Stacey and I Mbale is a large city and they get their mail from Kampala routed daily. Other places can have it be three of four weeks or more because they don't do anything until they have a full bag.
While mail in Kampala is held up because of the notoriously slow post office, larger cities handle it themselves and Mbale is one of the best. The one request is that if you send us a letter or package, shoot us an email, text or call as well because they may only hold it for two weeks, and we may have to work things around our schedule. I don't think the rule is seriously enforced, and a lot of other Ex-pats have PO Boxes there as well.
Either way, we have already been feeling the love with everyone who reads this blog, chats on skype, sends us texts, writes us emails/letters, calls us or sends carrier pigeons. Now there is simply another avenue and will also mean we will be around a post office to send items out of our own.
PEACE!
YAY!!!
