Wow!! What a trip. Thanks, Dad! I had a blast. We really do live in the greatest country on Earth! God Bless America!

Some special thanks: First, to Dr. Christine and the staff at Sahara-Pines Animal Hospital for making sure I was fit and had my "heartworm" and "flea & tick" medication. Check 'em out.

A BIG, BIG "Thank you" to Vicky Soares and the folks at Sprint PCS. With our wireless PCS phone and "easy dial-up" software, we were "connected" by phone and to the internet everywhere we went. You can contact Sprint PCS on-line or here locally by phone: (702) 897-3600

And finally, thanks to everyone across America for being so, so friendly! If you ever want "discover" America, do it by land! And, be sure to include your family pet!!

Love, Jordan Fredericks
