Happy 2006 My Friends!

Well, we survived the holidays. Personally, I'm glad they are over. It's time for me to take my show on the road, so to speak.

There are so many places I want to visit that I'm itching to get on the road. More than not I travel alone, though on occasion I do meet up with others like me. In fact, my plan is to head west to the Pacific Ocean. A buddy of mine text messaged me recently (even Gnomes are high tech!) and he might be able to get us on a steamer ship that's heading to the Hawaiian Islands. I've got a little time between then and now so I can make a few stops out west on my way to California. One of my first stops after Hawaii is Rio. It's one of my favorite places to visit. Man, I can almost taste the margaritas now! But, nothing is set in stone. I'm like a leaf going wherever the wind blows me. A rolling stone gathers no moss! I'm totally moss-free.

I'm starting out a couple of days late on my grand adventure. The original plan had me leaving this very evening, but I rang in the New Year a little harder than expected (if you get my meaning) so I'm a little worse for wear today. So, I'll recuperate today by having a little hair of the dog, practice with my new digital camera and finish washing my clothes so I can pack. I am officially heading out at sunset on January 3, 2006.

On my trip I'll probably have limited chances to blog, but I'll take as many photos as I can and post whenever possible. So keep checking back periodically for updates.

Wishing you all Health, Wealth and Happiness in 2006!

Sincerely,
Clive the Gnome King
