Salem Oregon

• I am now in Salem Oregon, and I will be staying from August 3rd-to the 5th.

• I have lodged at a hotel that I ‘m sure many of you know- Best Western, and I’m finding the stay extremely extravagant.

• As you know, Oregon is a state with many pine trees, and the scenery here is breath taking. I am looking forward to seeing Crater Park; a national park a little south of Salem. I am excited about everything, and can’t wait to see the park.

Vancouver Canada• Hello! I am know in a different country-Canada. I plan to stay

here for three days. • I will be staying at my friend’s house near one of

Vancouver's greatest attractions-The Capri llano Suspension Bridge. I ‘m ready to see the “over 300 ft in the air” bridge; and walk on it. I also hope to see a mountain lion or two-from a distance, because according to a guide I bought, there are some around here. Well, see you soon!

Madison Wisconsin

• Whew! I finally made it to Wisconsin! It does get tiring traveling from here to there! I'm staying here for 2 days, then heading to …you’ll see. The weather is great, and I ‘m feeling light and frisky. According to my travel brochure, I’m going to be staying at a hotel you probably know-Sharing Tree.

• Wisconsin seems like an old-fashioned state; I feel like I can almost see how the pioneer’s lived. I plan to visit Crystal Cave, and possibly see if AI can find Laura Ingalls's Wilder’s old house. (If they made an monument of it!) There’s so much to see, so bye for now!

Augusta Maine

• Hooray! I have landed in Maine. As you all know, what is Maine famous for? LOBSTER!!!! I plan to dine at the nearest lobster place possible.

• For my lodging, I rented a sea cottage, and I will be boarding near the ocean! I HOPE TO SEE SCENERY, AND OF COURSE, LOBSTER! Also, would like to view the ATLANTIC OCEAN FOR I ONLY SEE THE PACIFIC WHERE I LIVE. WELL, UNTILL THEN!

Italy, Europe

• Ciao! I am in Italy now! I love how friendly everyone is-oh! Ciao!-and I love the food, and I absolutely love the scenery!

• I am staying at Holiday Inn, and I am currently resting until I’m frisky enough to sightsee. I hope to see little boutiques, tourist attractions, and much more. Anyway, I’m tired, and after I rest, I’ll update you more. Ciao-snooze.

Beijing, China

• Ni Hao! I am in one of the greatest lands; China. I am excited to see Beijing, because the Olympics took place there only a few months ago. Also, I’m sure all the little shops and vendors will fare me well!

• I plan to stay with a distant relative-twice removed on my mother’s side or something. I’m sure it will be great. I hope that I can say in China-without getting lost.

• Well- bye for now!

• G’day mate! I am in Australia! I’m ready to see what Australia has to offer to tourists-like me! I really want to see kangaroos-lot’s of them!

• I’m staying at my distant relatives house-and hating it; she's so nagging! Anyways, I’m going to see the safari, which I heard extremely exciting. I can’t wait to get there, so I’ll update you as soon as she stops nagging me. Bye!!!!

Greenland Antarctica

• Brrr! I’m in Antarctica; my journey is nearing to an end. I am (believe it or not!) lodging in an igloo! Although it isn’t as comfortable as 5 star hotels, it's cool-literally!

• I want to see all the wildlife Antarctica has to offer! I guess some penguins and interesting plants will satisfy my taste for adventure! I hope that I get to go fishing-in frozen water! Yawn! But I’m tired, so I’ll update you after I catch up with some Zs.

Jalisco, Mexico

• Hola! I have now landed in Mexico! This exciting city actually invited me with a fiesta and everything! (Unlike when I got kicked in the face by a kangaroo! ^^) Just kidding! I have rented a hotel near by, so the I won’t miss a second of action!!

• I hope to see the famous cactuses here, and I want to see what type of stuff vendors are selling here! However, the best part is…I get to ride a horse while I see all of this! Horary! Viva Mexico!
