As requested, this Stickie is intended to let people volunteer to receive, photograph and send on the lucky inflatable banana to the next person on the list.
The idea being to record the progress of the banana in photos showing you with the (inflated) banana, optionally including a local landmark in the photo.
There's also a suggestion of you signing the thing but I'd hope people do this sensibly (without puncturing it or using ink that might react badly with the material) and not offensively (drawing gender-related imagery!).
Names of those signed-up already...

To join-in, post a reply to that effect and I'll update this list.
If people also report the arrival/departure and post the pictures here we should be able to keep track.
Ok?
