Sitting around the pool Buck was enjoying the lazy afternoon
when he overheard the group discussing a
proposed road trip. Apparently they were
planning to travel around the Gulf of
Mexico, past the Florida panhandle and into Alabama and Louisiana. “R-r-r-r-r-r-oad Trip!” screamed Buck in his
head although he wasn’t really sure what a road trip entailed. He heard plans to stop in Mobile and New
Orleans and he got a little frightened when he heard about ghost tours in above
ground cemetaries and the voodoo that is a part of the culture of new orleans.
Still a little hungover,
Buck struggled a bit to pack up his things spurred on by his
excitement. The chatter of the group
told him they’d be enjoying jazz and blues bands and an environment different
from any that Buck had known to date. “There is just so much to do and see outside
of the store”, thought Buck. He was
grateful that he was allowed to explore this new and interesting world and he
vowed to share as much of his experiences as he could so that other ducks would
know too. He wanted them to know that
if they got the chance to go…. they should,
even if it was a bit scary to head into brand new territory. That became Buck’s mission. To spread that word. Go!
The travel group was unsure of how long they’d be on the
road trip – they were going to see how things rolled. Given that Buck’s new mission was to boldly
go… this suited him fine. He was in good hands and a wonderful mood as
he tucked himself in that night. “Marty
Gra?” wondered Buck “Who is that guy?”.
