Our needs...er...selfish wants

Life's not too rough in Tonga, but if you REALLY want to send us something from America we won't stop you. Here's the stuff that's easy, light, and especially fun for us to have:

* DVDs, especially discs with TV shows we're missing

* CDs, especially music you think we've missed while living on the other side of the globe

* magazines, particularly Atlantic Monthly, Sports Illustrated, and Entertainment Weekly

* snacks, such as chocolate and snack crackers

We pay no duties on packages! It's as though even the Tongan government wants you to send us stuff. BUT BE WARNED: generosity comes at a price. Shipping a package to Tonga costs roughly $5/pound. Mail takes between 6 days and 7 months (no joke)...if packages are sent via airmail, three weeks seems about average.
