I fold the note into a paper plane and address the envelope and take it to the post office just like last time. Now to my favorite part, choosing where to go next.

I look at the map of the United States. I close my eyes and place my finger randomly on the map, it lands on Bloomington Minnesota, where also The Mall Of America is. This will be a great trip.

I take a nap at mid-day so I will be well rested to start up in the night. I plug in my phone to the charger and decide to text Lacey before I go to bed, I text her number, hoping for an answer.

M: Lacey? It's me Margo, I got a cellphone so I could stay in touch with my sister but I want to talk to you to. Just don't tell anyone about this. Promise me?

L: Yeah okay I won't. It's nice to hear from you again. Where are you?

M: iowa City. I'm about to leave for Bloomington, minnesota, where the Mall of america is. I used To Be in Chicago.

L: Well sounds fun, except maybe Iowa City, hahaha.

M: You never Know what You'll see in Iowa.

L: okay margo, well I have to go, I'll talk to you soon.

M: okay Bye.

I turn off my phone and fall asleep in the backseat.
