I love getting lost. Not when Iโ€™m stressed with someplace to be, but when I have some time and can enjoy it. Today, Iโ€™m in the Boston area and had to run some errands. I only have wifi when I can connect with someplace like Starbucks or Dunkin. So when Iโ€™m driving, I have no navigation right now.

Today, I ended up driving to Salem, and then into a town called Lynn where I turned a corner and ended up on this beautiful street. I do love Massachusetts. ๐Ÿ’•

13 days to go and my emotions are all over the place. Moving abroad is such an exciting thing to do, but not enough people talk about how hard it can feel to make yourself step onto a plane that is taking you to a whole new life. Itโ€™s daunting to put it mildly. But my house is empty and under contract, everything is in place, and I will in fact be stepping on that plane. I can do thisโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Slowly, slowly, it's all coming together. Starting to sell off the last of my stuff, found somebody who wants my huge bed, and have Izzy's USDA vet appointment set. The closer I get, the more scared I get. I imagine the drive to the airport is not going to be easy. But as a friend recommended, I'll take one step at a time. I don't have to get on the plane, I just have to get to the airport. After that, I just have to get through security. Then I just have to find my gate. One step at a time....

Slappy Toad's Boothbay Harbor Adventure: The Enchanted Garden

Slappy Toad hopped off the bus in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, her magical pink sun hat sparkling under the morning sun. Excited to explore, she set her sights on the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, renowned for its beauty and variety of plants.

As Slappy wandered through the vibrant gardens, her magical hat began to glow, leading her to a secluded, hidden path lined with colorful flowers. At the end of the path, she found a beautiful garden gate covered in ivy. With a gentle push, the gate creaked open to reveal a secret garden filled with rare and exotic plants.

In the center of the garden stood a magnificent fountain. Slappy approached it, and her hat glowed even brighter, casting a warm, magical light on the water. As she peered into the fountain, she saw her reflection change, showing her visions of past adventurers who had discovered this hidden gem.

Intrigued by the fountain's magic, Slappy noticed a peculiar plant nearby with a single, shimmering flower. The flower seemed to respond to the glow of her hat, slowly opening its petals to reveal a small, golden seed. With the seed in hand, Slappy felt a surge of energy and knew this seed held a special power.

As she left the secret garden, Slappy encountered a local gardener who explained that the seed could grow into any plant she desired, bringing life and magic to wherever she planted it. Excited by the possibilities, Slappy thanked the gardener and carefully placed the seed in her backpack.

The sun began to set, casting a golden glow over Boothbay Harbor. Slappy sat by the harbor, watching the boats gently bobbing in the water, and reflected on her incredible day. The magical hat had once again led her to a wondrous discovery, proving that adventure and wonder were always within reach.

With the golden seed safely tucked away, Slappy adjusted her hat and smiled, ready to see where her next adventure would take her.

SLAPPY TOAD'S PORTLAND ADVENTURE: A DAY OF WONDERS

Slappy Toad hopped off the train in Portland, Maine, her magical pink sun hat glistening under the sun. Eager for adventure, she started at the International Cryptozoology Museum, known for its Bigfoot exhibits. As she admired the lifelike Bigfoot replica, her hat glowed, and she swore she heard a whisper: โ€œSeek the lighthouse.โ€

Intrigued, Slappy made her way to the iconic Portland Head Light at Cape Elizabeth. The lighthouse stood tall against the waves and cliffs. Her hat glowed brighter as she explored, leading her to a hidden path and a secluded cove where she found a small bottle with a map. The map hinted at a hidden treasure beneath the lighthouse.

Following the map, Slappy navigated the cliffs and found a small entrance at the lighthouse's base. Inside a dimly lit chamber, she discovered an ancient chest. Her hat shone brightly, revealing an inscription: โ€œOnly the true adventurer, guided by magic, may unveil the secrets within.โ€ Inside the chest was a beautifully crafted compass pointing to new adventures.

As the sun set, Slappy reflected on her incredible day. Her magical hat had guided her to new discoveries, proving that adventure and wonder were always just around the corner. Adjusting her hat, she looked to the horizon, eager for tomorrowโ€™s adventure.

Chapter 3: The Journey and Discovery

The next morning, Slappy rented a small boat and sailed towards the island marked on the map. The sea was calm, and the sky was clearโ€”a perfect day for an adventure. As she approached the island, she noticed its rocky shores and dense forest.

With her backpack secured, Slappy hopped onto the shore and began her trek through the thick trees. She followed the map's path, climbing over fallen logs and maneuvering around boulders. Along the way, she met a friendly family of squirrels who pointed her in the right direction.

After hours of hiking, Slappy finally reached a clearing. There, standing tall and proud, was the hidden lighthouse, partially obscured by ivy and moss. It looked ancient, but sturdy. As she stepped closer, she noticed strange symbols etched into the stone walls.

With a sense of excitement, Slappy explored the lighthouse. Inside, she found dusty old books, nautical equipment, and a locked chest. Using the key she found earlier, she unlocked the chest and discovered a magical, pink sun hat that shimmered with a faint glow. The hat felt light and airy, as if it were imbued with a special enchantment.

Stay tuned for chapter 4!

Chapter 2: The Clue and the Treasure

Intrigued, Slappy asked the shopkeeper about the map. The elderly man, with a twinkle in his eye, told her of an old legend about a hidden lighthouse that was said to hold a treasure. The legend spoke of a time when pirates roamed the waters, and the lighthouse served as a secret hideout.

With her heart pounding with excitement, Slappy knew she had to investigate. With a new goal in mind, she set off to gather supplies for her journey. She picked up some snacks, a flashlight, and a raincoat, just in case. She couldn't wait to uncover the secrets of the hidden lighthouse!

As she packed, Slappy noticed a small wooden box hidden under a pile of books. Inside, she found an old, ornate key. The shopkeeper explained that the key was rumored to unlock the treasure chest in the lighthouse. With this new discovery, Slappy's excitement grew even more.

Chapter 1: The Arrival

The sun rose over the sparkling waters of Penobscot Bay as Slappy Toad, the adventurous amphibian, hopped off the big, red tugboat and onto the bustling docks of Belfast, Maine. With her trusty backpack and an ever-curious smile, she set out on a new adventure in the Pine Tree State.

As she wandered through the charming streets, Slappy marveled at the quaint shops, cozy cafes, and the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from the local bakery. Her first stop was a tiny bookstore where she found an old map tucked away in a dusty corner. It was marked with a mysterious X on a remote island off the coast.

Stay tuned for Chapter 2 coming soon!
