Rosa makes Voyager of the Week on Toy Voyagers


Congratulations to Rosa, our Voyager of the Week!

Rosa comes from a distinguished family of ToyVoyagers: she is one of six , the famous Travelling Conejo's of New Mexico.

Thanks to their mentor, wourpet, all six Conejo siblings are proving 'ones to watch' on our View Voyagers screens.

With brothers in Canada, Iraq (with the U.S.Army), and Singapore, another brother who has run off solo in search of adventure, and a sister just preparing to visit ToyVoyager Hosts, Rosa stays at home, showing us the sights and welcoming visiting ToyVoyagers.

Here she is with an 'earthship', an eco-friendly home made of recycled materials.

We wish her and her siblings well, and lots more adventures. We look forward to the Conejo family reunion when they are all safely back from their individual journeys.

Florence still in Prague



Florence sent a PM this morning and said she was ready to move on even though she is really enjoying her visit in Prague. I checked her travelog and there is no doubt she has seen and done a lot during her stay.

I believe she is going to Germany next and if she times it right she might even make it to Oktoberfest.

Henry -- Voyager of the Week

Along with Wourpet and Picado both making it to the top ten lists (Picado is #4 on miles travelled) our guest Henry also made the news.


"Voyager of the Week: Henry the Adventure Hound

This is Henry the Adventure Hound a previous winner of Voyager of the Week.

Henry the Adventure Hound likes ... adventure!

No surprises there then!

Henry's idol is Indiana Jones, and he is always looking out for ways to emulate his hero's on-screen antics.

Created by Drakie, Henry is currently being hosted by wourpet in New Mexico. He has also travelled to Colorado to see ghost towns and has enjoyed seeing incredible scenery and getting to do lots of exciting missions. He's even been inside a volcano!

This picture shows Henry in contemplative mood, with his travel journal by the campfire, no doubt thinking of his next big adventure! "

Coney sends more pictures

We were happy to receive some photos from Coney yesterday. It appears he's been quite busy.


Coney is now patrolling with the Armored Division


In the photo below you can see the large container on the right where Coney spent his first several days in Baghdad.



The fluffy white guy he met up with on base is Wuffy II and although not a Toy Voyager, he will be spending some time in Iraq before returning Stateside.
