Speaking of being on island time, please bear in mind that we do live far away (see above) on a small island (see scale in map below) and thus can't bring much back with us on our return.
So we ask those who feel moved to bring gifts to please plan on shipping it to us here in American Samoa at Alden's PO box. In order to do this, you will need to fill out a customs form at the post office, but don't let them bully you - American Samoa, is (as it's name implies) American, and thus subject to domestic rates. The best way to go is the US Postal Service's Priority Flat Rate Boxes - http://www.usps.com/prices/priority-mail-prices.htm and yes, the domestic weight limits apply. If you ship things that are not priority mail, they will likely get put on a boat and arrive in 2-6 months - so no fruitcakes in those packages please. We are starting to register, and are trying to stick with places that ship here directly, so you don't have to deal with shipping if you prefer. We have registered at REI and Walmart, both of which you can find online or at the stores under either of our names. We have also registered at Leisure Pro, but since they don't have an actual "registry" you will have to login to our account using my email, KelleyAnd@gmail.com as the user name and wedding as the password. Then you can go to "Wish List" and see what's there. Drop us an email if you have any questions!
