Thanks guys it certainly felt great to be able to make that delivery. I did run into a couple of problems at the start of trying to arrange transport to the troops as the Polish Embassy was hesitant to get involved in arranging transport.
Once we communicated more clearly the two coolers flew out of the U.S. on the same plane as the Polish president. It was kind of a funny story because they didn't anticipate just how much room 1000 cigars along with humidification actually takes.
So in any case, the Polish President was visiting the States on some official business and the Polish government arranged with his staff to have the two coolers flown on his plane.
It's possible that the Colonel that I was dealing with was just telling me a tall tale but I doubt he would risk looking dumb over something like that so I'm inclined to believe him.
I'll tell ya, truth is stranger than fiction more often than not.
Cheers,
Rob
