Travelog for: Luffy

being very inspired by his new friend Brian, luffy has decided that he too wishes to see the world!!

Luffy arrived at our house in America's Historic Triangle, Virginia, on Saturday, June 9. After resting from his trans-Atlantic journey, Luffy set off Monday morning to fulfil one of his life missions, visiting a school. Luffy visited three schools: an elementary school (K-5th grade), middle school (6-8th grade), and a high school (9-12th grade), this past week. He rode the school bus to the elementary school.

Monday was kindergarten graduation. After the kindergarten concert, Luffy visited the kindergarten room with his host. Luffy read a book, ate a knowledge nugget, and headed home.

On Tuesday, Luffy rode to high school with the 'big kids'. Luffy took two exams and helped his hostess clean out her locker.

On Wednesday, Luffy checked out the middle school. He took two exams, helped his hostess clean out her locker, and wondered if the students ever learned anything since all they did was take exams and do manual labor. Luffy did enjoy the excitement of 1000 students charging up and down a staircase all at the same time. Thursday when Luffy went to the middle school, he played volleyball. He's okay even though the ball was much bigger than he thought.

Last night, Friday the 15th, Luffy camped out with 7 boys. They roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on sticks over the fire, threw cheetos into the fire, and played flashlight tag. The end of the school year campout was fun but exhausting.

The oldest child hostess left today on a student exchange program to Germany. I helped carry her suitcases to the car. I met many students at the airport as they and their families gathered before the students departed. Maybe they'll meet some other ToyVoyagers while they're in Germany.
After we got home, I took a ride on the local train and tried to ring the bell.
I'm tired from the campout last night so will say goodnight.

Luffy left Virginia mid-morning and travelled south toward Florida. He saw lots of cars, trucks, trees, and grass. Luffy was amazed that he travelled in 4 states in one day.

Luffy awoke early Wedneday morning in the hotel, safe and snuggly with Mimsy, from Poland, and Tweetie. They quickly put on their bathing costumes and headed for the pool for a quick dip before breakfast. After breakfast, everyone piled into the car and headed off for Florida.
Luffy and his hosts arrived at their Florida hosts' home late afternoon. The Roseate Spoonbills greeted Luffy languidly (is this a word?). Luffy also saw a fruit cocktail tree that grew lemons, limes, and tangerines. Looked like a lemon tree.

Friday morning, we went to the Magic Kingdom. Ohhhh, it's so magical! We rode the monorail from the parking lot to get into the Magic Kingdom.
I saw Cinderella's castle, rode rides, and saw two parades.  I rode the Pirates of the Caribbean and I got a pirate hat! After getting off "It's a Small World", I sang that song for hours. My host finally stuffed me into the camera bag.

Saturday we went to Epcot Center, Disney. We didn't walk as much and were cooler because many rides and entertainment were indoors.
I helped an astronaut navigate on the moon.  I saw many educational shows but don't have a photographic record because the Mister took the camera.

Sunday, we went to the Animal Kingdom, Disney. We went on a safari and helped capture poachers. The safari ride was so bumpy, that I posed with some relatives later on.
I wanted to stop at McDonald's because I hadn't eaten there in days but my hostess said no.
The dino ride was thrilling but scary.
We finished our day by watching a bird show. The bald eagle, America's national bird, is quite majestic. I felt a little uneasy while the owl was out.

We spent Mon-Wed in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I played on the beach and collected shells. Wed and Thur we drove home. Look at the posts for June 19 and 20 in reverse to see what we saw.

Nellie came home from Germany!! She let me play in her room. I made lots of friends!

Today I begin my travels to France. Bye-bye.
