For starters, I've never been to Australia. But if you'll cover the gas and tolls, I'll be happy to drive there. I have a GPS.

 

I'm always willing to find a way to make a visit work. For instance, if your district has more than one school to visit -- or you can arrange a visit with another school in your region -- it becomes more likely that we can set up visit that works better for all of us. We can sometimes arrange two half-days for nearby schools, if all the details can be worked out. Most important, just ask me.

 

As far as expenses go, I'm a cheap date. I've never liked five-star hotels or first class airplane seats anyway. Too big.

 

I love travel. Still, there are five states in the United States I've never visited. Is one of them yours?  Help me break the Final Five and you'll get extra-special consideration.

 

Hint: It's not New York State. I was born here. Or there, depending.

 

This special offer goes for any of the 150 countries I've never been to, either. I've always wanted to read some of the translations of my books.
