Connor Merrick was an interesting child who had traveled often in his ten years on Earth. Yet, his upcoming joumey would be the most exciting yet: a trip to New York City! Now, Connor had been there before, numerous times, actually, with his parents and younger sister, Anna, who can be a bit of a pain. He'd visited the Statue of Liberty and toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He'd even seen a Broadway musical (although, admittedly, he'd fallen asleep twenty minutes after it had started). These trips had always followed a precise schedule that Connor and his mom had organized almost to the minute prior to their vacation What made this upcoming trip so unique was that Connor had decided to visit the Big Apple without anyone knowing (except his most trustworthy companion) and with no set itinerary! He planned very meticulously: he saved his money and he chose his accomplice. Who was this carefully selected partner? Why, his loyal dog. Baxter. He could be counted on to be cheerful, and now and then he was good for a cuddle. Connor and Baxter were set to leave on their adventure on Tuesday, October 12th, as long as everything went according to plan.
