Thank you, Momofmany, for taking care of everybody whilst we were at the SPAM Museum. You can take a break from work now, as Coco Maui and Sasha will be navigating the ship--with Victor at the helm, of course.



Those of you who've been on these trips before may recall there was always one person whom I brought with me. Well, she's along for the ride once more!

There's no place like home
Ya know, while everyone is up there in those-there neck of the woods, it's a simple hop, skip and jump over to see the world's largest six pack. I think this is in Lacrosse Wisconsin.

Victor, Cocoa, can you navigate us over there please?

Yup, we visit the best places when we travel!

Maybe we could also go to Rochester, since it's only 40 miles away, and stop to take in a tour of the original Mayo Clinic? Maybe afterward, we could go to Silver Lake Park to see and feed the flocks of Canadian geese that winter there every year. I have been told that these geese were once thought to be extinct, but were rediscovered in Rochester.

Unfortunately, I don't have my own pictures to share, but I did find a site that has 19 pictures of Rochester and the Mayo Clinic and clearly explains what is seen in the pictures. http://home.venturecs.net/fastcars/welcome.html

And btw, Rochester is along the route to LaCrosse, so we can visit both places easily.

Am I too late? Can I still hitch a ride on the rocket????

Got distracted in the theater at the SPAM Museum.....

So Trent and I are here and ready to go! Ophelia isn't much of a traveller, she prefers all 4 paws to remain firmly on the ground.

Since we are going to Mars, Trent made some kitty meows that sounded like he was quite excited! Somehow it wouldn't even surprise me if underneath those funny little helmets we found little pointy ears, big round eyes, and fuzzy faces!

Welcome aboard, Heidi! No, you're not too late nor is anyone--thanks to the modern miracle of cyber space. I'm afraid a few of our passengers think they're still back on Earth, but that's all right too.



Funny thing, though: We had a big enthusiastic sign-up for this trip, yet most of those folks appear to be awfully quiet. Perhaps they're napping after all the excitement of the SPAM Museum?

I got distracted by a shoe sale. Fortunately, Victor was able to lure me in, with those Belgian chocolates. Being acrophobic, it took mass quantities of chocolate and my own stash of Jack Daniel's, to get me onto a rocket ship!

Well, I'm glad to see you're all pitching in to help out here on Mars! And yes, you're allowed to remove souvenirs--as long as they're smaller than a breadbox.



Alas, our time on Mars is about to expire; and we must return to the vehicle which brought us all this way. By this time tomorrow, we should be back at the SPAM Museum getting ready for our originally-planned road trip: the Orient in the Southern Hemisphere!

You would NOT believe the adventure we had! We missed the flight to the SPAM Museum since Pixie threw a tantrum cause we'd forgotten her favorite toy, so we had to go back to get it, then got stuck in traffic.

Amazingly enough, we found out just in the nick of time that the next stop was Mars, and being that we were close to the NASA facility here, we were able to hitch a ride with a bunch of those maintenance scientists!

Yoviher, thanks so much for letting me get a look through the telescope, and for sharing all that yummy stuff you brought!

Hey, Mr. Cat, since we're going back to the Spam Museum, do we have some time to check it out, since we missed it first time round?

WHAT you mean, we're leaving mars already? How sad.. I've been in the back with all the food and didn't even realise we had landed *quickly puts on some gear, grabs acorn and sprints out* I can't wait to get back to the spam museum I wanna spam teeshirt *kicks ground*

How about the night before we start off on the real adventure, we have a little party.


to all TCS gang.

Indeed, superkitty, you'll have time to thoroughly check out the SPAM Museum after our return there! By the way, cots and hammocks will be available for everyone at the Museum, should napping become necessary at some point (after all this inter-planetary travel and such like).

Wellington Cats, thank you for the suggestion. We'll throw a party, for sure! Everyone at The Cat Site is invited, of course. We'll have "I've been to Mars!" T-shirts for our fellow space cadets; and that huge bottle of spiritous liquors you've obtained for Heidi should ensure a good time will be had by all.

Thanks so much for your hospitality. I plan to stay a member of this site, until someone takes the computer away from me. Hahaha!

Sam, just WHO provided you with Tennessee's finest sippin' whiskey? The last time, that I checked, you were definitiely UNDER 21! To avoid being charged, as a minor in possession of alcohol, you'd better let Heidi and me dispose of the evidence. We'd hate to see you, with a criminal record, at such a young age.

Puerto Rico... land of rice and beans.
Oh, Sam did what I did to get that wine: Falsify the electoral card card
. According to my birth certificate I was born in 1989! Don't worry, soon enough I will also have Cuban cigars... as soon as we get out of the US and they are legal again.


Sam, serve me some Jack Daniels for me, on the rocks!

I think I will have shipped some crates of Puerto Rican rum.

Sam, that's one honkin' bottle!!!! Somebody pass me a glass too, I'm not feeling too hot from all that bouncing around on that Mars surface. Too many darned rocks, I think.

Yes, of course, here is my electoral roll card and driver's license. Here is also my birth certificate.

(bought in California)



Oh BTW, the rum from PR has arrived. Get ready for the finest rum in the world. It has gone to the point that many countries have put luxury taxes to it:

The poll-winning area of our globe was that part of the Orient which lies in the Southern Hemisphere. As you can see, most of the Orient--which includes North Africa, the Middle East, all of Asia, The Philippines and the Malay Archipelago as far east as Java in the Solomon Islands--is located in the Northern Hemisphere. (The Equator is indicated by that red line on the satellite image above.)



Nevertheless, we're going to the Orient in the Southern Hemisphere. Our conveyances, that fleet of ships you've already seen, are ready; so let's get aboard (since in the meantime we've been miraculously transported from the SPAM Museum to the west coast of North America) and weigh anchor!
