Gracie and Killi's "Tour de Lit!"

[chris9]

{Mental note: Stock up on cookies of various types before the caravan gets to East Tennessee.}

And there is a thread around that tells you just in time what kind of cookies you should have for various people. Convenient, isn't it?!

 

[blue kat]

Hugs babe! Manitoba is in the midwest, right above North Dakota and Minnesota.

*sigh* Ok, so we'll go from Kat's to Minnesota. Then from Minnesota to Kansas, then to Missouri. From Missouri to Pennslylvania, then to Vermont, and back to Penn. (Hi, KC!) Then from Penn to Tennesee, and then Tennesee to Florida. Then we'll head west to Texas, NM, Arizona, California, Nevada, then back to Oregon.

 

[chris9]

Graceanne, aren't you going to see Hawaii? You will miss Tealshynx and Sphynx'Dragon that way.

Oh, true. I guess I'll fly over to Hawai'i with Killi and see them. Then I'l go back to Oregon.

Would someone please tell me what Kudzu is?

KUDZU IS THE MOST FUCKING EVIL SUBSTANCE ON THE PLANET.

/me had to clear 3 acres of kudzu-infested land. I now can smell strongly-mixed roundup from a mile away.

 

[graceanne]

Can't be anyworse than blackberries. And blackberry's have thorns. Evil hooked ones, so not only does it get you, but then it hooks into your skin, and rips it when it comes out.

But you can eat blackberries, make jellies, cakes, anything from them.
Never heard of doing anything good with Kudzu. Then again, I never heard of that plant before today So what is this plant good for (except to upset Jason )?

Well, evidently it's pretty.

And you only eat blackberries if you want scars.

Dayam. You should have hotlinked tha tpuppy for those of us newbies - I need to go add mine to the list....

 

[Xelebes]

Ooooooh, true enough.

Ok, so we're gonna start in Oregon. Then we'll go north through Washington, and to Canada. We'll go to Victoria to Shadowsdreem , then we'll go to Vancouver to see Ms_Lilith. Then we'll go see Aeroil (the cookie theif), and then Xelebes. Then we go to see Regina and Canadian Cutie. Wait . . . when do we get to see BlueKat? Doesn't she live in eastern canada? If so . . .

then we'll head south to Vermont. From Vermont we'll go to Pennsylvania, and from Pennsylvania we'll go to Tenesee, and from Tennessee to Missouri (cause if I'm that close to my family and I don't stop to see them my ass is grass). From Missouri we'll go to Kansas, and then Minnesota. From Minnesota we'll just south, stopping to see DVS again, and go to Florida. Then from Florida we'll head west to New Mexico (yay! Betticus) (stopping at Texas - family) and over to Arizon, then California (where once again I'll have to stop to see family. *sigh*) Then to Nevada and back to Oregon. Am I missing anyone?

I believe Bluekat lives in Manitoba, so you head south and into Minnesota to see KC. Then you go south to the Gulf states, going through Missouri. You might also want to make a detour through Tennesee or you can do that after you have gone through Florida. When you go through Florida, you go through Georgia and then take a trip west to Tennesee and then get back into the Carolinas and into Virginia/DC to say hi to Etoile and whoever lives there. Philadelphia and New York City is next, then To Boston and then head across the border into Quebec to say hi to Miss Diva and then head to Toronto. Then head to Detroit into Ohio and back through Missouri and gree DVS again, or is DVS going to greet you again? Who knows.

After Missouri, you go through Texas and into Southwest states seeing Betticus and DRose and on to California where you'll wrap it up.

 

[Xelebes]

As you will note, I am constructing the figure 8 here. I hope you can see why it might be a cool thing to do or something other than to try and make a big loop.

 

[Netzach]

Oooooooooh, I think you're right. Well then we are DEFINATELY having to go to Minnesota. Can't miss Netzach.

You would all much rather visit me at the ancestral home in NYC, wouldn't you?

I'll have to hop on board then...

 

[Aeroil]

*balks* only stopping in kamloops to say hi? screw that, I'm on vacation! I wanna go!


.... and fine. I'll bring my own supply of cookies so I don't have to steal any of gracie's....

 

[Killishandra]

[arctic-stranger]

Next Stop, Victoria, then Vancouver, then Arctic Stranger.

So AS and Neo . . . what is there to see in Alaska? (Other than snow - we can see that anywhere.)

Right now, no snow...in fact it is a very temperate 72 degrees, which now i find really hot.

What to see?

Well, moose wandering around your back yard...the midnight sun (which means no aurora borealis) the largest mountain in North America (which DOES have snow on it) miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of rugged wilderness, many very strange people, and depending on when you come, great shakespeare, wonderful music--jazz, folk and classical, great musical theatre, glaciers, mountains, volcanos, some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world, (did i mention really weird people?), really nice people, dogs dogs and more dogs, eskimos (DONT eat the food!) the bluest skis you ever saw in your life, the most colorful sunsets, very weird people, dogs and more dogs, hiking, skiing (in the winter) whales, seals, sea otters, more glaciers, float planes, bald eagles, wolverines, bears, wolves, ravens, swans, oil refineries, soldiers, AWAKS, out houses (mine is really special--very artful in side) great ice cream, excellent coffee, wonderful and weird people, plenty of characters.... you name it, we have it if it is wild, wooley and worth seeing....

oh yeah, salmon...lots of salmon. and halibut...and huge cabbages.

no snakes, no ticks, no poisonious spiders, but more mosquitos than you ever imagined.

and of course Neo and me...but then i did say wonderful and weird people already (guess which one of us is weird....)

 

[sunfox]

Well, at least SOMEBODY knows I live in Kansas. I'm a full four miles from the Missouri border.

Where the hell has this thread been? I'm just finding it now?

I'm late coming back to the thread, but I've been busy...

DVS... we moved from there just over a year ago.. C and I lived near the KC Community College there, just off State St.

 

[Xelebes]

Well, evidently it's pretty.

And you only eat blackberries if you want scars.

Chokecherries and saskatoons are where it is at.

 

[snowy ciara]

You would all much rather visit me at the ancestral home in NYC, wouldn't you?

OOh, so here's an idea.

We grab KC and Netz and M and go to NYC, where we beg KC's family for great Italian food and crash out on Mr. Rathbone's floor....

 

[astralkiss]

Indiana here. Useless and bored of my state.

 

[DVS]

Do you mean State Avenue?

you dont have to beg for food, you just need to tell em you are coming.

 

[sunfox]

Do you mean State Avenue?

I thought it was street. But you're probably right. I'm a native Illinoisan... C is the Kansan.
