I wish we could charter a bus

If I could, I would charter a tour bus and let them drive us around the country. I have friends to pick up in Missouri, and Oklahoma, and Oregon, and Ohio to say the very least. Georgia would be on the itenerary and New Jersey, and all the places in between. That is an odd ambition for Sunday morning, don't you think. We could even go to the original offices near Kansas City and see the birthplace of myLot. Possibly talk to some old friends who are not here much but that we surely remember as well. When that was all done I would have to charter a private jet and zip around all over the globe for our other friends as well. Of course I am only dreaming. But you know the myLot arms are open wide in friendship.

I would love to visit, and I am sure you would serve some lovely tea.

It sure would be nice to see everyone, and to give you a big ‘ol hug!

Hugs are really good, aren't they?

@AmbiePam I went to Christian's Viewing today, and surprisingly got big hugs from the mom and the dad. Those sneaky people, in the memorial video they have a picture of me swimming with him.

It would be fun to charter a bus and pick people up in different states.

I love the way you dream. Let's go. That means you would have to stop in Colorado also.

That would be so much fun but only if we could all bring our furbabies with us, I don't trust pet sitters around here. I think you'd need a passenger train to pull that one off.

You may be right. I am up for it. I have never had a real train trip.

Just think of all those mylotters with lottsa cats, they'd need a car just to themselves. I think it would be fun or at least educational

You are doing a really good job of it, I would say.

I agree, I would love meeting everybody in person.

(Of course, I'd be wearing a mask but that wouldn't hinder the conversations.)

@GardenGerty I would be very unhappy if one of us got sick.

I once had the wish to get an RV and travel all across the US like along the north, then middle, and then south and perhaps stopping at small town picking up a job and then traveling on but that was in my younger days,

That would be such a cool thing to do. Imagine if you could get a tour bus like a band, and just go travelling around visiting everyone in that!

I'm so pleased you mentioned a private jet as that means I'd probably get a visit as well!

Of course you would. I have to get my passport in order. I think you could show us some awesome sights.

@JudyEv Yes, how would one determine a best and worst foot?

I used to suggest a MyLot Cruise. I could never do all the walking required on a cruise boat; but it would be fun to meet everyone and eat ourselves silly. I probably would get bus sick unless the bus was air conditioned.

That is the kind of bus I am talking about, comfy seats and lots of room and air conditioning of course.

Thanks for your well wishes. I have known people from the Philippines but have never visited. I would bet it is lovely.
