Colorado Bound

Hello Everyone!  Shinko asked me to post some photos for him from this morning before he left for Colorado.  He is SOOO excited!  He was a little nervous about the trip, but the nice lady at the post office soothed his fears by telling him what to expect... she promised they would all handle him with great care!  Anyway, here are some photos...

At first Shinko just dove head first into his packaging...

I had to talk him into getting in in a bit more organized way...

Shinko saying his final good-bye's to

our family and New Hampshire...

a little sad, but so looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead.  He's thrilled about all the new people he's going to meet and all the things he will get to see and do!

Adventure Begins TOMORROW!

I am sooo excited.... and I just can't hide it - hehe!  I am taking a trip tomorrow - headed across country from my great home state of New Hampshire to COLORADO!  YAY!   I can't wait to get there and to meet my host family.  I am going to have so much fun with Devin and his brothers... sounds like it's going to be a FUN week - and I hear I get to go to a Birthday party!  Well, I'll be telling you all about it, I'm sure. 

It's off to bed for me now (if I can sit still long enough to fall asleep)... I will be sure to take pics as I am heading out on my journey tomorrow and will ask Momma Monkey Lynda to load them for me after she sees me off.  G'night all!

Meet Shinko!

Good Evening ladies and gents and kiddos of all ages!  I would like to introduce myself to you... my name is Shinko, the rainbow monkey.  I am on a mission ~ to visit the country - all of the US (and maybe international if I can convince the Momma Monkey to let me go international)!

But I need a little help.  I am looking for host families to stay with for a week at a time ~ and to have adventures with.  Doesn't have to be any super special adventures - just want to experience new activities and places.  I would love to do just about anything with you all!

Does this sound like fun to you?  Please read the informational tabs above for all the details and email us to let us know you're on board!  I can't wait to start my trek.  I hope to at least hit all 50 states - can you help???  I promise to be a good little monkey, although maybe a little curious (kinda like George, but I definitely won't make all the trouble that little guy does).  hehe.

Hope to hear from you soon and I can't wait to find out my first destination!

NOTE:  If you are not in the US, but are interested in having an adventure with a sibling of Shinko's,  please email me at sockmonkeytrails@gmail.com.  Please put 'International' in the subject line and let me know where you are located.  If we get enough interest, we will start an international traveling monkey!  :0)
