WOW it has been a while. I've been travelin' with my pal Roy!

After drinking at the Thirsty Camel, Kat shoved me into a box and stuck me in the mail all the way from the Middle East to my pal Roy's house!  He wasn't home when I arrived so I took a nap on the bench. 


One of the things I forgot about, was that on occasion when out in the wild one may run into the local wildlife.  In my case it was a BEAR!  At first I was scared by his unnatural blue fur, but then realized that the bear was Roy's travel pal.  I really dig his bow-tie and sweet tattoo!  The friendly bear offered me his bow-tie, but I declined as I think it looks better on him.


Roy took me to visit his niece and nephew.  They were really nice kids.  Left: niece, Right: nephew


And just to prove we're traveling here I am in Massachusetts!  Evidently, somebody leaked my itinerary to the Kennedys and ol' Ted had the welcome signs covered up with green painted sheet steel.  They did not want me to know what their state bird is on account of my ferocious appetite, hunting prowess, and perhaps the bird is nearing extinction or something!  HA! I know the state bird is the black-capped chickadee, and I know they taste great!  I ate the last known breeding pair in North America.  That's how I roll bbs. 

(note from handler:  Cleophus actually ate a rejected chicken wing with craft feathers.  I told him that he caused the extinction of a species because he is a pain and runs off into the woods after birds.  As an aside, domestic cats are not a natural part of the food chain and decimate native bird populations.  Domestic travel kitties are even worse... so tragic)

Tending bar at the Thirsty Camel (UAE)

Well here I am,mack in my natural element, going a little crazy.

RIDING THE CAMEL

Ok, so since I am a travelkitty, some rules can't be enforced. I may be too young to drink in human years- but I'm a travelkitty, I have nine lives, how do you measure age for real?  
THREE DRINK MINIMUM & MAXIMUM WTF?!



More chicken this time in the Middle East!


EATING CHICKEN AGAIN

I like playing pool, I learned how to play when I was in Ecuador.  Those skills are paying off!

POOL SHARK

I've heard that there is a sport called soccer,  Foosball is just like soccer, but Travelkitty size.

FOOSBALL



On my way to the UAE!

Before we left some secret place in the extreme northeast US, the VFW came out to give me a proper send off.

VFW- THOSE GUYS ROCK

With a renewed spirit of patriotism I'm back in the plane headed for some secret island between the northeast US and Europe, 

WAVING THE FLAGS


First Stop: some secret place on the east coast

We all got on the plane and got settled in.  I was very safety-conscious making sure that I understood all his emergency exit procedures.

SAFETY-CONSCIOUS

Heck yeah, I like me some airplane food!  Chicken, broccoli, boiled eggs....Mmmmm just think 200 people all eating the same thing and trapped in a pressurized aluminum tube for like a day!

DIG IN!

As a veteran traveler, I know that its always a good idea to  have a cocktail after dinner...

TYING ONE ON

All the excitement was just too much for a little travelkitty.

I SWEAR IT IS AIR SICKNESS

Heading out the door!

Here I am getting ready to go.  I was issued my patches so that means I'm part of the team! Never fear America, I am on my way!

PATCHES ROCK

OK, so apparently part of deploying to a war is waiting around and drinking coffee while someone else calls the shots.   

CHILLIN' AND DRINKIN' SOME JOE

You just try to keep up!

I happened upon an amazing opportunity, my friend Kat (probably my bestest travel pal) invited me to go on a trip with her! I got to deploy to the Middle East- I get to see whats up and be a part of it too! Here I am preparing to go.  My Kids are are using highly advanced simulators to help me with parachute training and flying airplanes.

STRAPPED INTO THE SIMULATOR

READY TO GO


Next stop the deployment line...
