AAR: Wonders of the World

I completed the Wonders of the World souvenir campaign today. The campaign began on August 12 with an unofficial end date of December 31. It looks like due to COVID-19 most of the campaigns have extended dates. What would originally have taken three to four weeks to complete now gets three to four months - or longer! I won't say that I don't like having all of this time to earn these souvenirs, but without the urgency to get out and find caches, I feel like I'm not going out as much. I had originally planned to piggy back the Memory Lane and Wonders of the World caches, in order to get the most bang for my caching buck, but I ended up going out of state for two of the three days that it took for me to complete both campaigns, so I didn't need to be conservative.
How did this campaign work? Caches were assigned digital Wonders of the World attributes, Modern and/or Ancient. In order to earn the first souvenir, Modern Wonders of the World, you had to collect each of the seven Modern Wonders of the World attributes. Once the Modern Wonders of the World souvenir has been earned, you would unlock the ability to collect the seven Ancient Wonders of the World attributes. When the Ancient Wonders of the World souvenir was earned, you would earn the third souvenir, World Explorer. I really liked being able to see which Wonders were assigned to which caches from the beginning of the campaign. That made planning out how to get the minimum needed 14 caches, and earn all three souvenirs, extremely easy. I don't believe that the Mystery at the Museum campaign, which utilized digital attributes, too, granted us that access. In that one, as you may remember, we had to collect evidence before we could see which caches held jewels, and so on.
One thing that was a negative for me, but I'll take it, was that the third souvenir was so instantaneous. In the Mystery at the Museum, there was one final, and totally unexpected, accomplishment to complete to unlock the vault and return the stolen jewels. Here it was just, "You earned two souvenirs, here's an extra one for good measure," kind of like in Planetary Pursuit. I love souvenirs, don't get me wrong, but I kind of like earning them, too.
So, all in all, I liked this souvenier campaign. I loved the theme, especially since seeing the Wonders of the World is something that's been on my bucket list forever, and knowing which digital attributes each cache had.
