I was in Japan for 12 years, if you FROZE it, packed it in dry ice and a container and had it sent to a Japanese off base addy via Fed-Ex, it MIGHT make it. But I wouldn't recommend that. It worked once with homemade tamales, but the post office really hates packages that drip or smell funny after three weeks in transit. A ship? NEVER send anything perishable, ever.; ▶ Reply to This

Those where the BEST cookies in the world after being out to sea for a few months. But than when I got home and had some fresh, they where not soo good. Never told my mom that :~} LOL!; ▶ Reply to This
