Terry Traveller’s Foreign Correspondence – Woo Part 1

Do Not PanicTerry sent this one in a bottle. Written in yellow crayon and mailed to the office… “postage due”. – Editor

Terry here, and this time, I am truly traveling.

I was recently sent on assignment to a tiny gem of this world at the base of the Big Woo and from my small hut-like home base I send you this three-part greeting.

I am writing a small entry for a guidebook to the region, on behalf of the local tribesmen’s publicity department. I won’t get paid, per say, but I’ll return home with my pockets full of Macadamia nuts. My only requirement was that I be allowed to share the exclusive story with my dedicated fans of DiscoverAdel.com.

* Please disregard the occasional use of text language throughout the article; I am trying to appeal to the younger generation on behalf of the publicity department and it seems these youngsters can no longer understand the use of spelled out words and punctuation. I would worry about offending them by writing this, but they gave up at “disregard.”

The world here is simple- no TV, no Gluten-Free Vanilla Chai Soy Lattes in a reusable travel mug, no need for weather reports. I find myself enjoying the distance from the complications of the modern Iowan’s lifestyle.

No need to check on my stocks- 3 cans of green beans and a suspicious can of dog food in the pantry at home monitored by surveillance camera (where did that can of dog food come from?!?), to consider my bank account statement, or sleep in, drive fast, and show up 20 minutes late to work with a speeding ticket all because of someone else’s fault. No, here the pace is slow; an even cruising speed of 2.42 miles per hour that besets man, woman, child, beast, and the ticking hands of the clock.

Here, we are away from the things of man with few exceptions, such as the intermittent 56k Internet connection and a regular supply of a mighty tasty orange soda the locals call Jump. The flavor is delightful from a bottle; never under any circumstances, drink it from the can.

That’s all for now as the chief needs to make an important phone call and I’m holding up the phone line. Watch for Part II of my wild adventure on Waponi Woo coming soon!
