Letters from Across the Oceans
Notes: Yay~ Update!
Dear Hawaii,
Hey!
Awwww, can't you tell me please! I'll send you a Smith Island Cake with extra layers if you do! :) My little vacation spot is definitely Ocean City! It's great when you love the beach and boardwalks. There are also plenty of amusement parks to go to!
As far as animals go, we have a lot that you would probably find in a forest. I also have a pet Chesapeake Bay Retriever and a calico cat. A Blue Crab often hangs out with me too. (Literally! He likes to clamp his claws on the edge of my right pigtail and doesn't let go until I feed it! Pets are so pushy sometimes!) Do you have any strange pets? I hear Louisiana keeps a pet crocodile!
Well write me later! Bye!
Sincerely, your big sis,
Mary Jones

Dear Maryland,
Hmmm...Smith Island Cake with extra layers and tickets toOceanCity? I might consider telling you. ;)OceanCity sounds awesome. The beaches never get boring.
Ah, most animals you find here aren't found anywhere else in the world. Unless they were brought here, like the mongoose. Strange pets, let's see...Nene, Pueo, Koloa (or Hawaiian Duck), Hawaiian Honeycreeper, several humuhumunukunukuapua`a, Cone Snails, Moray eels, lion fish, honu'ea, manini, kihikihi, happy face spiders... There are also several sharks that follow me around when I get out far enough. Yeah, I've heard that too! Still, Uncle Australia has lots of exotic pets that he calls friends. ^^; Like the inland taipan...
Hope to hear from you again!
Love from the Islands,

Dear Hawaii,
You knew his parents? I didn't know you had interaction from people on the continent back then.
Oh, but it is so fun to...
Yes, being in an American family has its perks and its downs. On the other hand, we Canadians don't get noticed much by the world... Is it better being part of a larger family?
It's a good thing you're keeping optimistic. I look forward to your next letter.
Sincerely,
Luke T. Williams

Dear Ontario,
Yes, somewhat. See, we did have world meetings. It's just that it wasn't exactly 'publicized' as it is now. So I know most of the countries' 'parents.'
Just don't tease him anymore...
It is...sort of nice. But I am isolated either way, being out alone in the ocean. At least with this kind of family, it's less probably for me to be left alone again.
Ah, well, I try my best.
Love from the Islands,

Dear Hawaii,
Really? I want to meet them both! Although, they won't hurt me... will they?
Oh wow. Captain Cook? Was it really rainy in England?
He never really came to complain to me- mainly because we've never really met.
I know! Although I never went up to talk/see him personally, he partially ignored his own Prohibition. Believe me, I saw him at the speakeasies and even chatting it up with some of the mafia! Not that he wasn't totally bad. I mean he did try to bust all the moonshiners, but ya know... It was too tempting to resist just giving into the rebels.
Yes, my boss went through it. Bah.
... What? Why does he need to be sleeping? Do I want to know?
Yes, I really do understand what you mean. Sigh..
Whatever you say, then!
Love,
Jazlen A. Jones

Dear Illinois,
No, I don't think so. They'd be on guard around you until they get used to you though.
Yeah, Captain Cook. I think Dad based Captain Hook off of him, or something. Captain Cook was the man that explored a lot of the Pacific for the British Empire, finding Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and me. While I was inEngland, it rained and rained and rained and rained and rained...then it was sunny! Then it rained and rained and rained and rained and rained... -.-'
He's never complained to you? Lucky. Nowadays, he complains to whatever state he's currently drunk in...
I guess that countries go where their people go. At least, the vast majority. I never saw speakeasies or Prohibition though...mostly because I was still technically my own kingdom during the twenties.
Ah, don't you hate it when your boss does that? Seriously, no privacy at all...
'Cause, you know, if he's sleeping, he doesn't need to know that I'm extracting stuff from his head... ;)
Write back soon!
Love form the Islands,
