5 times on the road to hana

 

I'm not famous for much.

But I'm famous
(in circles that matter)
for all the places
throughout the world
that I've thrown up.

In fact, I've become
something
of a family joke.
And people are
just a tiny bit nervous
to travel with me.

So in a totally happy,
positive, and optimistic
sort of way,

for this week's Wednesday list,
I'm listing
all the places
in this whole wide world
(at least the ones
I can remember)
that I've thrown up.


We'll call it
List 3:

Five Times on the Road to Hana
and all the other places
in this world
where I've lost my lunch.

1. Utah (Behind a dumpster. Pregnant and I forgot my bowl.)
2. Utah (Coming down the canyon from Sundance. Again, pregnant.)
3. Utah (At work. Yes, again, 9 month morning sickness.)
4. Utah (every house I've lived in, every pregnancy.)
5. Utah (okay...there's a list a mile long of all the places in this state.)
6. Idaho (Rexburg, the last time I ate Bit o Honey candy bars.)
7. Idaho (Boise. I think.)
8. Idaho (In the hall at Lincoln Elementary. So embarrassing.)
9. California (Somewhere between LA and San Diego, with Huey Lewis playing in the background...)
10. Washington (Expo '74, at the World's Fair, in a motor home. Poor family.)
11. Hawaii (Maui, that twisty, turny, winding road to Hana. 5 times to be exact. Do they have a t-shirt for that?)
12. Mexico (Cancun. A whole vacation's worth. See that pretty picture up there? That's about all I saw of Cancun. Throwing up with a beautiful view.)
13. Taiwan (Hsinchu--after eating some weird fish thingy.)
14. Taiwan (Hualien--after eating at a traditional Taiwanese wedding.)

There could be more...
oh I'm sure there is.
But that gives me:

• three countries
• two islands
• and five states.
  
  

And just for the record,
I've made it
through two Central American trips
without throwing up!
Dare I try
for a third?!
