Default Are you driving to The Villages

Hello, for various reasons we have to fly to The Villages from Halifax, NS.
I would like to have my own flour for baking.
I would be grateful if someone is driving down and has room for 22 lb. of flour plus a 5 lb. box 14" x 22" x7" to bring down for me.
Thanks very much.

I agree, why not mail it or send it UPS. It will probably beat you here.

I'd be happy to help you find what you need locally or mail order too. I can't help you transport it.

But at the risk of being nosy, do you mind me asking what's in the 5 lb. box 14" x 22" x7"?

The box contains a Chandelier, I bought it at Ikea so it's not yet been put together.
I like to use Robin Hood All Purpose Flour.

The Walmart website says some Walmart stores carry Robin Hood but not here in The Villages. I'd bet you could order it online for delivery.

Modigliana - you said in another thread that you're new in TV and don't know a lot of people.
Once you're in residence, don't forget to attend the monthly Loonies and Toonies Canadian Club meeting.
You'll meet a lot of nice people there.

Re your flour, I know some people from Truro that rent every year in TV, but they won't be coming down until February 2015.
There is an Ikea store in Orlando, perhaps you might want to buy your chandelier there.

Yes, I want All Purpose Flour, I see Wal Mart sell Robin Hood AP Flour but the packaging suggests to me that it's not the same as the CDN Robin Hood Flour, also it says on the label that it's made in the US.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, we will be going to the Loonies & Toonies, we will miss the December one as we arrive on the 20th but will be there for the January meeting.
