Lake Charles, LA, United States - 19th April 2013
By: klubwerks
I made it to Oklahoma City and then traveled with my host to our first adventure together!
My host was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is where Cyphacon was held. It was really nice seeing my hosts home town. It was a beautiful place! The food was fantastic! We stopped by Woody's Smokehouse on the way into Lake Charles and got some yummy jerky. The convention was also a lot of fun. It was a small convention with very friendly people.
We stopped in New Orleans on the way back home (the last two photos).

Oklahoma City, OK, United States - 4th May 2013
By: klubwerks
I went to Bricktown, which is Oklahoma City's downtown area. My hosts and I road two metro buses to get downtown. The first bus driver was rude and the second bus smelled of cat pee. It was not a pleasant experience and my host says that's why they rarely ever take the bus. Then we took the downtown trolley, which was a fairly nice bus, and it's free! The trolley just circles certain downtown spots.
However, it was worth the trip! We watched Ironman 3 (in 3D). There is this automated machine where you pay with your credit card and you don't have to wait in line to get your tickets. After the movie, we went for a walk around Bricktown. It is so pretty out here! Then, we ate dinner at Hooters. Hooters' waitresses always wear the same skimpy tight uniforms, which is part of the draw of the restaurant. It's mainly a wings place. It was good food!

A group of us toys went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). We watch the preliminary fights on the Chromebook and then watched the Pay-per-View live on the restuarants big screen TV's. We were also treated to appetizers - mini corn dogs and chili queso!

I wanted to let you know that me and host are safe a well! We had a devastating tornado that has killed many people today (it's all over the news). Thankfully my host and I are safe and with power. Please keep our friends in your thoughts!

Our thoughts are with you all over there - keep safe.
We are having constant up dates here on the news too.

Oklahoma City, OK, United States - 8th June 2013
By: klubwerks
We had more tornados and it was pretty scary! One of them came right for us, but then it "jumped" over us. It means that the tornado lifted off the ground before it hit us, then touched back down after is passed us. However, it still caused a lot of damage and the circulation went right over us - lots of wind, hail, and flooding. We were without power for 17 hours. If the tornado had not "jumped" we would have very likely died. Tornado season can be very scary here in Oklahoma!
I was going to post more about it, but I wasn't able to go out for pictures with my host the day we got photos. However, if you want to know more about the experience we had and see pictures, please look at the June 1st, 2013 post on Benno's travelog.
On a side note, I ate at Long John Silver's (a fast food place)! I had some fried fish, corn on the cob, and cheese curds. Cheese curds are breaded and fried cheese. It's very tasty!

Recently, we discovered a bowling alley within walking distance! We got to bowl as long as we wanted for $10 (per person). They also have food... like hot dogs and fries! It's nice having a place nearby where you can get exercise and have fun with friends!

We went out to Crabtown to eat. I tried the fried calamari and it was spicy and yummy! I also had their gumbo. I had fun!

Overland via Stagecoach, U.S.A. - 1st May 2014
By: LittleCableCars
Hi Mom,
I've been out touring the American wide open spaces, vast plains, mountain chains, deserts and rivers with my ToyVoyager pals, Kalea, Jelle and Amie.
We hitched a ride to an old-fashioned stagecoach depot. It was a long dusty ride and we were jostled around but is was a lot of fun.

I'm way out West now.
Love and hugs from,
Your Buddy

San Francisco, California, U.S.A. - 3rd May 2014
By: LittleCableCars
Hi Mom,
Before we left the Stagecoach Depot we checked the map to see which cable cars to take to my new host’s house. We were greeted by a Rockin’ rat from Germany named Rudy and several TVs home from their travels: Cheerio, Noodles, DuDette and her DuDu.
See ya later, Mom
Your Buddy
