My friend Hank and I had a little screen time at the library here in Cedar Park, Texas, USA. Hank told me he would look up far-off lands in preparation for my travels.

And then there was something a little more exciting for both of us!

I got to go on a balloon ride. It was fun, but I don't think I'm really going to be traveling by balloon.

Sara bought me a journal for the trip. I'm going to write in it at every stop. I think I'm all ready to start now.
