sspaz1000 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Alright, I "think" there might be 7 duckies, but I feel more confident going with 6. This was another though one for me, with the pink ducky. Colorblindness is NOT my best friend, haha. So, with that being said... please lock me in for 6 duckies! I loved all of this weeks updates, Big Mike! Next time I'm in Chicago, I'm definitely gonna have to check out Kuma's Corner. Looks like my kinda place!   I am going to go with 8 ducks...yes, eight!   Locked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinschroder Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Big Mike - you really live life to the full! It's so great that you've achieved so many of your dreams! Â As for what you're up to this week... I think you'll join the mile high club as you fly over to LA, where you will hike up to the Hollywood sign. On the way down you will bump into the Fonz.

sspaz1000 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Wow, that's a lot of stuff. I may be boring some of your ideas doe things to do because they sound awesome. Â Â But what I think your doing is visiting machu piccu, Rio for carnival, and possibly ending in new Orleans for maradi GRAS. Â Whereever you are going, have a wonderful and safe trip.

Big Mike Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi everybody!!

Â We thank you for all the support in 2012 so far! Â See you in a week!!! Â Â Love Big Mike and Megan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Whenever you get to that NBC Studios Tour, let me just tell you that you are going to absolutely love it! My family took the tour this past summer and we had a blast. The tour guides are amazing, the studios are flooded with hidden wires/cameras, and the SNL studio is definitely a site I will never forget! Â With that said, I have a feeling you're going to NYC to check off the ferris wheel, the NYC tour bus, and the NBC studio tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That's an awesome list and awesome list of things you've checked off! I have yet to make a list, but my list would have a lot of the same things! I've read about that backyard coaster, super intrigued to hear that you got to ride it! Â You've definitely had a full life so far with more to come! What's your occupation that you manage to do all this? I just hope that I can make enough money in my career someday so that I could take trips all the time like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy524 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've been sick and have just now caught up on last week's updates. I love flea markets! And Little Big Horn looks like an interesting place. Danny and I are big history geeks so battlefields and stuff like that fascinate us. Â Hope you and Megan have a great time in Cancun!

sspaz1000 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Welcome back! Hope you got to relax! Â Lock me in for 5 duckies. You're being tricky this time around. And I'm sure I'll regret my guesses later on, but this on was definitely interesting. Â Boomers looks odd, like it's trying to be nice, but yet it still kind of has that skeevy feel to it.
