Going to America Belinda D. Floyd

Do you like to have fun and adventure? If so come along with Charlie as he packs up his wind and rain and sets off for America. See the people, places and things that Charlie sees through his tightly packed eye.

Float along with Charlie as he searches for the Flying nun, in Puerto Rico, joins in the fun in Jamaica, says hello to Castro as he passes over Cuba and stops in Key West to have a piece of key lime pie, visits Hemmingway?s house and finds out what a six toed cat looks like.

And be there when Charlie makes history, by defying all the modern technology of weather forecasting and roars ashore at Punta Gourd instead of Tampa Bay, taking the same path as hurricane Donna in 1960.

Then join him as he travels across Florida and listen to the bells chime in his wind as Charlie passes over the singing towers and visits Disney World and the Daytona Raceway.

Then relive history as Charlie heads up the eastern seaboard and visits such famous places as Kitty Hawk, says hello to President and Mrs. Bush in Washington, sees the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, visits Lady Liberty and sees where the World Trade Center towers fell on 9/11. Then continue on as Charlie sees Boston Harbor, Plymouth Rock and takes an order of baked beans to go.

Then be there with Charlie as his journey comes to an end and he begins another journey down the next branch of the river of life.

If you are looking for an interesting way to teach you?re children about the life span of a hurricane using fun, history and colorful descriptions. Read my book, Going To America. So come on and let?s begin our journey with Charlie.
