Florida Bound: Meet the New Sidekick

If you followed my other travel blogs, you will know that I have traveled with a sidekick who incited a little mayhem and created some adventures that were fairly hysterical.  If you haven’t read them, you must read about the Frog Angel.  He/She/It took off after the trip to Colorado, but at last report, the frog is in Prague writing a blog.  In a bog.

For this round of travels, I staged a tryout.  Participants came from near and far.  My travel partner made it in just in time for, um, wings and she has been eagerly traipsing around Denver with me, leading up to the Florida road trip.
