Travelog for: Arn Wes Wilde

Hello my friends,
I've been dreaming to join toy voyagers' family for ages, I'm a super faithful reader, now I finally have my own travelog hehe. My name is Arn Wes Wilde. Yes you got it, exactly the same Wilde as Oscar Wilde, the famous writer. I've read some of his books, the novel and poems, they are just so beautiful. Hehe I'm a cat person but not a real person, ummmm..I mean a cat tiger. If possible I'd like to selfie with many cats as I can, and I wish I could say hi to a real tiger someday. I also really love your human children, maybe I can play games with them and make them happy. The photo below is me and my portrait.
Have a nice day!

Hi my friends,
I was just going to take a nap on the balcony, GiGi ran to me and gave me a big hug. She said she wanted to congrats to me for becoming a toy voyager, hehe how cute she is. And then Crabs suggested us to take a group photo together. Dolly went out with Mia, they left home in the morning. I reckon maybe we could take a bigger group photo with them when they come back.
All the best
Arn

Hi my friends,
After the short celebration on balcony, we decided to enjoy the winter sunshine and do some reading. GiGi and Crabs let me to choose an interesting book for us. Ummmm..I finally pick a dictionary with 5 different languages, English, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Trust me it is not that kind of common thick dictionary as you think, that dictionary has a lot of vivid graphs and photos in it, pretty sure GiGi and Crabs will love it. I need more time to learn the words about football, they will be useful someday if I watch football match during my travel hehe.
Greetings
Arn

Hey guys,
We got to a secret place and met 2 new friends today. Hehe they are a pair of lions. You know I'm a cat person, no no a cat tiger, so we became friends just after a tiny small talk, ummmmm..I mean after some howls. And the lion which was standing on the right gave me his sword, how general he is! Carbs wanted to try that sword too. When he was negotiating with the lion on right, oh I should ask his name, honestly I even not sure his gender, he might be she a lady lion...Okay,when Crabs was talking to her the lion, GiGi put the sword on her head. It's too heavy, she said. Then finally Crabs got the sword.
Have fun
Arn

Hey guys,
I think I know how to distinguish male or female lion. I collected some info on Baidu, someone said the lion who holds a colorful ball is male, the one who holds a small lion is lady lion. Did you see the red circle in the first pic below? It is indeed a baby lion! And I have good news! I'm going to Michigan, USA! I saw tons and tons of beautiful pics online, amazing!  Hold on...I should consider taking my wool hat with me, can't wait to run on snow field! The sunset there must be gorgeous!
Will send myself off tomorrow
Arn

Hello my friends,
I'm ready to visit the USA. And pretty Gretel is going to Germany! Amazing right? All of my friends were comming, they were going to hold a send-off dinner for us, but we have no time to prepare, ummmmm...I mean I just can't wait any minute more to get to the USA!
See you guys there
Arn

Dear friends, please don't worry about me. I'm really good, I've arrived at the postoffice in GRAND HAVEN.
Yay!!! I can't wait to meet Mel! You know I've been spending too much time on the road.
...
Hmm..there's somthing I need to tell you. I'm a little different from before, might be a bit difficult for you to recognise me. I mean my appearance's changed after a tiny little accident. But I'm still Arn the tiger who loves cats and children. I got a brand new outfit. Blimey! I even have my own football boots right now!!!

Hello!  I have arrived safely in Grand Haven, Michigan, and as you can see, I look a bit different!  I am even more ready to get up a football game now!  I don't know where Tiger-Arn went, but we didn't want Mel to get lonely, so I came as his replacement.  I am excited to explore Michigan, USA! 



I arrived just in time for Mel's sister's birthday!  She is turning 39 years, and it wasn't much of a party by some standards, but there WAS cake!  Angel food cake with strawberries and cream!  I helped Mel get enough whipped cream.



Then I wanted to go see the football fields.  Maybe there was a game I could get into!  Oh...  no, not yet.  Still too much snow!



Now we are back at the Tea Cafe so Mel can work on her story a bit more.  She has had one story published, and the deadline for the next is May 31, so she needs to get working!

"Hey!  Who are you?"
"What?  I'm Arn, I'm a Toyvoyager.  Who are you?"
"I'm Arn!"



"Tiger-Arn!  We thought you were lost!  Mom sent me to replace you, to keep Mel company!"
"Lost!  Well, not exactly, I stopped off to watch a game.  It was a great game."
"But you got everyone worried about you.  We thought you were gone forever! And now what is Mel going to do with TWO Arn's?"
"Have twice as much fun?  I'll make it up to her, I promise.  I'll be the best Voyager.  We can work together!  Human-Arn and Tiger-Arn!"

Hello!  Mel is trying to work out the problems with her old photos not showing up, we'll get them fixed soon, I hope! 

But that hasn't stopped us exploring!  Aaron and I were going to kick around a ball, but we couldn't find one small enough. But we checked out the field anyway. Look!  The net here matches me! 
Then we went to sit by the water and enjoy the sunshine.  The geese had just come back and were very noisy, but they were inn the yard next to the park so we couldn't see them.  We sure could here them though!  We also saw a pair of woodpeckers, but they wouldn't sit still long enough for a photo.
Then we went hunting for the first flowers and found a crocus right in Mel's own front yard!  She lives in the upstairs apartment so it isn't really hers, but since she just moved here in January, all of the plants that come up will be a surprise for her all year!

I am getting ready to go to Nebraska soon!  I wonder if it is warm enough for football there yet??  I'll write gain before I leave!

Yay!  Mel finally got my last update put online!  She had three straight weeks on the overnight shift at work, so all she did was sleep and work.  I got my photos taken but she didn't have her computer set up right to do my post sine she had taken it out to work on her stories.

We went to a bookstore to help Mel's niece buy some books!  These looked interesting to me, but she had different tastes and only enough money for a couple books.



She did find three books though, two new and one used.  We voyagers had fun exploring.



Since Mel's niece was spending the night, we got comfy and read for a while, and then played some games.  I helped!  She thought I was very cute.  Yay!  A small part of a big life goal! 



Then Mel took me for a farewell dinner.  All You Can Eat Shrimp!  We ate a LOT.  Yummy!



We still found room for dessert though.  Berry Cobbler a la Mode!



And as you know by now, I am safe in Nebraska, but I enjoyed my time in Michigan.  Aaron will keep us posted about Mel's house, I'm sure!  And i PROMISE not to sneak off to watch a game this time.  Honest. 

The other day Stripes (another traveler) and I helped my host plant a tree. It's very little so we had to protect it from the rabbits eating it. Arbor Day (plant a tree day) started in Nebraska.

Today Crippy my hosts cat just doesn't want to be friendly. She was acting kind of snooty if you ask me.

But her other cat Cleo was very friendly.

Football is over now. But here in Nebraska very one( all over the state) wears red & white when there is a game even my host and she said she's not into sports. The fans here are extreme about Neb football.

Hi Mom,

I was traveling around the western United States when I came upon a jungle and saw another ToyVoyager tiger.  he introduced himself as Jeremy and invited me to stay. 

Bye now from the Wilde West,

Your Arn
