aliboards Posted December 16, 2011 #251 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think they are cute. But if there's a bunch of stuffed animals or toys in there, that crazy! and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted December 16, 2011 #252 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Makes about as much sense as lots of things such as decorating your door. Take that remark any way you want to. People do silly irrational things but as long as it does not impact my cruise, I really do not care. DON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBC29 Posted December 24, 2011 #253 Share Posted December 24, 2011 How about bringing along a pet rock? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted December 24, 2011 #254 Share Posted December 24, 2011 On my last criuse, the Pet Rock was the topic of our Trivia tie-breaker (I won! The others were too young to know what a Pet Rock Was!;):D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted December 29, 2011 #255 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Buc-ee joined us in Oct. We all had fun with him. He is small and very well behaved. Even when he had too much wine... He is excited to go again in Dec. Love it! Buc-ee will be with me on my upcoming cruise as well :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracyd1014 Posted January 6, 2012 #257 Share Posted January 6, 2012 We have a sock monkey and her baby that go on every trip (cruise or road) we go on. Kinda silly but fun too! It's all good when you're on vacation - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonaCK Posted January 6, 2012 #258 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I am so glad I read this thread. I leave on Saturday for a nine day cruise. I will be with family, but am rooming by myself for the first time. I am in an LDR with my SO, and he was unable to get the time off of work. About six months ago, he gave me a small stuffed lion that I can hug and think of him. That lion is now going to be my cabin mate for this cruise. An memory for all of you: about 10 years ago, my ex husband and I were planning on going to Disney with our best friends. The day before the trip, one of our friends (the husband) had a heart attack. He was fine, but obviously still had to cancel the trip. My ex and I went anyway... And ended up getting a Mr. Potatohead doll that we dressed up to look like our friend, and named it after him: Barry Potatohead. We had a blast posing pictures with it, and when we got home, we presented the real Barry with a travel log of "his" vacation. Thanks for the memories, folks. And the great idea. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geminidogs Posted January 7, 2012 #259 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Let me explain the stuffed animal thing...you either get it or you don't. In our case, our son was in Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, and we found a stuffed dog dressed in cammies as a Marine, and decided that since our son could not be with us, we would take the puppy along and send him funny pictures of the puppy in different situations. It makes for a great laugh, and it's fun to think up funny situations to put the puppy in. We ended up at a Marine Corps museum once and we placed the puppy in a scene of Marines storming the beach; he blended right in and it looked like he was in the war too. We also have taken pictures of him peeing on a bush, chilling out with the towel animals, and so on. It's fun for us and funny for him...honestly some of the best times we have had were laughing about the hilarious photo we just took - one of my favs is the one of the puppy smoking and drinking at a Toby Keith concert!

bplazo Posted February 1, 2012 #262 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Such an interesting post. It reminds me that I don't get people traveling with kids. I guess of the two if I had to choose it would be the stuffed animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin1103 Posted February 2, 2012 #263 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's quite simple really but I'll explain it to you - it's about having a little piece of home with you in unfamiliar settings. It's also about having fun, brightening your days, and not being clinically depressed. ..Trin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayhold Posted February 2, 2012 #264 Share Posted February 2, 2012 My 5 year old wants to take his stuffed Darth Vader with us on our cruise and thanks to this thread I am totally taking pictures of him sun bathing, etc. he can even come to dinner with us. I am also putting a small decoration on the door so he can find our room easier, as he likes to run ahead (where he can still be seen) looking for our door when we are on vacation.

Dottierainbow Posted February 2, 2012 #265 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I am 49 and my foster son will be 50 March 1st.He is mentally challenged. You cannot tell by just looking at him. He takes a stuffed animal with him anytime we go on vacation. It bothered me at 1st but my psychological major son asked me what did it matter? He wasn't hurting anyone! Yes, he is right. It gives peace to my foster son, so be it!:p Edited February 2, 2012 by Dottierainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michmike Posted February 16, 2012 #266 Share Posted February 16, 2012 laffin .. OP and others who are in agreement w/ them about the loonies w/ stuffed animals had best hoped they never get the 4 of us at their table. We are all mid 60s and can often be found wearing our Margaritaville "Growing older but not UP!" t shirts and carrying our bag of tricks, with rubber chickens, screaming flying monkeys, pirate eye patches, groucho glasses and burger king crowns. We have met more fun people w/ all that paraphenalia..and others look at us and shudder and head the other direction.. oh well We're heading out again on HAL's Nieuw Amsterdam on 12/9/12. Come join the insanity! I've attached a pic of the chickens... Sal Monella and his girlfriend, Kaye F. Sea, as well as the monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicNurse Posted February 27, 2012 #268 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am going on my first cruise in June. I plan on taking my stuffed wolf and having him join in on the fun, taking pics of him in different places. Here is a pic of him hanging out on my computer chair.

Fiddlemama Posted March 9, 2012 #270 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone familiar with the Flat Stanley project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlemama Posted March 9, 2012 #271 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just stumbled across this thread : ) Love it!! I will be bringing my beloved Theo with me on my cruise. I want a pic of him with the stingrays in Grand Cayman. After I posted the question of the Flat Stanley project, I scrolled down and saw others had already mentioned it. As for bringing kids while traveling: This will be my 1st vacay without kids....I look fwd to going with my classmates/friends, but will miss seeing things thru kids' eyes. BUT, my roomie has never been on a cruise, so it will be kinda like bringing a kid : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsNancyG Posted May 16, 2012 #272 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think the flat Stanley thing is really cute and since we're taking our first vacation without the kids, am thinking of getting a picture of my kids and just putting their flat version in our pictures. lol That oughtta make DD completely nuts!

Ladypop Posted January 27, 2013 #275 Share Posted January 27, 2013 We're going cruising in November and my son's three headed dragon will be travelling with us. He's a veteran traveller of 10 years, although cruising will be a step up for him....he's normally more of a backpack and tent kinda reptile. FTR his name is Fluffy, after the three headed dog in HP (named by then 3 y o son) but we rarely refer to him by name. Why p!ss off a dragon unnecessarily ??:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
