Guess who’s coming to travel? By Keira

Unusual events for unusual people

The last time I travelled across the globe and back, I only had myself for company. When Ms C asked me to haul Mr Alien around on my trip to the USA, Canada, England and Italy, I was a bit worried. She told me Mr Alien likes to get up from bed super early, and I am a real bear – I hibernate when I sleep. Nothing can wake me for a season or 2 once my head hits that pillow. Would we be the Original Odd Couple? I hope he wouldn’t get angry.

Pleased to meet you

But in the past week, Mr Alien and I have been getting to know each other across 2 cities.  He is the most un-angry creature I have even met, even when he was stuffed in my luggage and when I accidentally fed him some chilli sauce. [I misread the children's letters, I thought he LIKED hot sauce, not DISLIKED it. Whoops.] I know when he is not too happy though, his orange fortunge rises up. You just need to stroke his tuftencles and feed him some chicken.

Viva Las Vegas

Mr Alien likes to kiss people I discovered. A little birdy called Will did warn me of this funny trait. That is not a good habit to have in a busy town like Las Vegas. [yes, Vegas is very, very busy, Scott and Dylan]. Vegas reminds me of a strange alien town, where lots of different people from different backgrounds all meet one another in a huge desert. I would not be surprised to see a FV1910 land in the Nevada range or to be served a Iced Hot Chocolate by a Fish-tailed Sprout from Bobular [Mr Alien keeps me entertained with stories from his hometown]. People jams are not unusual on the streets of Vegas, all hot and bothered in the 40 degree heat, kissing them may not be a good idea!

The trouble with kissing! It may be a bear...

But it is a fun and good looking city, to answer Angus’ question. Vegas is known as “Disneyland for Adults” with all the pretty lights and striking themed buildings like Caesar’s Palace, Paris and the Venetian. You can feel like you are in Italy at the Venetian as it has replicate of Trevi Fountain and the Venice Canal. Lucky Mr Alien is coming to see the REAL Italy with me in a few weeks.

Is it my imagination….?

The past few days, I’ve stirred in my sleep at about 6-7am in the morning. I think I’ve seen a flash of purple and green near the door. I am not sure if it’s Mr Alien. And if so, is he going out or coming in? What do you think he is doing?

I’ll find out and let you know.

What's going on when I am sleeping?
