To travel as far and as frequently as possible, especially to places where Mardi Gras or Carnival are celebrated.
This trackable is a backpacker that contains a King Cake baby from Mardi Gras 2009. In New Orleans tradition, King Cakes are eaten during the period leading up to Mardi Gras. Each King Cake comes with a small plastic baby that is stuffed into one piece of the cake. If you end up with the piece that contains the baby -- assuming you don't accidentally swallow it -- you are responsible for buying the next King Cake. That cake will also contain a baby, and whoever ends up with that baby will have to buy the next one. And so on until Mardi Gras. (Don't worry. The baby inside this trackable has never been in anyone's mouth.) New Orleanians will come to blows over which local establishment makes the best King Cake. Sucre gets my vote, although I'd probably keep that opinion to myself around an old-school partisan of Randazzo's, Gambino's, or Haydel's.

This trackable wants to visit New Orleans, of course, as well as any places where Mardi Gras or Carnival are celebrated, inside or outside the United States. Carnival is celebrated in numerous places outside the U.S., and places in the United States might include Mobile, AL, Lafayette, LA, St. Louis, MO, or Galveston, TX.
Keep it moving, and photos are always appreciated!
