Matt Green: Adventurer

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100527/ap_on_re_us/us_the_big_walk

So above is a link to a news article about Matt Green.  He is walking across America, for no other reason than it's something he's always dreamed about.  He has no other agenda, he's not walking for a cause, he's just walking. In the article there is a couple minute video that I think really gives a flavor of who he is.

What an exciting concept to just do something because it's something you've always dreamed to do!

What do you always dream about doing?

The Places we will go....

After asking Where is your favorite place you HAVE BEEN?....  Now I want to know....

Where have you always dreamed of going?

I get to go to many places this next year that I've always dreamed of. Mia is excited about Mount Washington, The Alamo & countless other places.... but that's a couple to name.

So again I ask (with in the USA or not):  Where have you always dreamed of going?

The Places we have been....

Of course while I'm planning this trip, it has me dreaming of all the places I have been or will be.  I know Mia has travel out of the country, though I have not.  I know Mia loves to remember trips in Europe, NYC, and Vegas.  Where as I prefer times in Florida, Ohio, and Tennessee.  My favorite spot on vacation on not is of course relaxing in a sunbeam on the floor.

All this remembering makes me wanna ask:

WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE SPOT?

How the States will stack up.

Everyone wants to know "How am I doing all 48 states?" or "What's the path you're taking?"

Obviously some tweaking my occur, but this is how it's lining up for now.   If you want to host Mia and I, now you know our target time line.  :) Please let me know, you can see the months I'm aiming to be where.  :)

CATS!

Mia and I went to "couch surf" at a friends house last night, since we'll be spending a year visiting friends this way, it's wonderful practice for us.  :)  So Mia made the arrangements, but she forgot to inform me there was a CAT!  Now I've heard rumors of these fiends for quite sometime but have never actually seen one.

So last night I met my first cat, Maple, she is a beautiful feline. I wanted so badly to be her friend, I'm not sure why people had been warning me about cats, she seemed nice enough.  I think though she wasn't in the mood for meeting a new friend, since her human had forgotten to warn her about my visit. She stayed either up on the window sill and once she tried to hide beneath the couch, but I think she didn't realize I could walk under the couch too.  So she quickly returned to the window sill.

I'm happy to know now what a cat is, and look forward to meeting more in the future.  :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Exciting developements

Yesterday, was an exciting day, I love my human so much.  My human, Mia, has been working so hard.  She is so inspired by my plan.  My plan is to go all over the United States meeting new and wonderful people, to share their stories, and to find the connection between all people. Mia is so wonderful, and I want to meet more wonderful humans like her.

Also I decided when I'm leaving! Mia and I will leave by August 9th! We'll be heading up into Michigan first. And then heading east towards PA.  We'll be going into upstate New York by the beginning of September.

So if you have any recommendations for places to stop or see with this part (or any part of the USA) please let me know and I'll have Mia add it to my itinerary if we can fit it in :)
