screennametaken Posted August 2, 2009 #51 Share Posted August 2, 2009 DH and I are taking our gnome "G" on our cruise this month. We have sunglasses for him and are packing a tie (for elegant night, of course), a life preserver (NO ONE in our party is allowed to miss the muster drill!!!) and are hoping to find a Hawaiian print shirt for him to wear around the ship. I know people are going to think we are absolutely bonkers but we think it's going to be hilarious. And we can add another chapeter to his personal photo albulm. Yep, he was gnome-napped when we were on our honeymoon and taken on a whirlwind tour of Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudshoveller Posted May 4, 2010 #53 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My parents have Teddy and my Brother has Jokie the Polar Bear. It's been fascinating learning that my family is not the only one who takes "animal companions" on trips and even writes updates from "their perspective". I will have to think of 'who' I am going to take along with us on our trip....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Envy Posted May 4, 2010 #54 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My friend and I used to bring her "Cousin Snirt" (a small stuffed seal) with us. Our best picture of Cousin Snirt was when we put him in a quart ziploc and took him snorkeling with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habubabu Posted May 4, 2010 #55 Share Posted May 4, 2010 El Tigre has been on two cruises and loved both of them. He is the fellow in my avatar photo and signature. El Tigre made lots of friends while cruising. He had a very nice wardrobe courtesy of many of my friends including a bow tie for formal night and a "first mate" shirt! He's glad that he's not the only one who loves to travel! (Here he is enjoying a formal night dinner!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hopes to meet you, Teddy, Jokie and the rest of your family on a cruise in the future. Thank you very much - Sonia on behalf of El Tigre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry at all. We tell people that we are Floppy Bunny's pets and that he brings us along on his world travels. Most people thinks its a riot, and the ones that don't, so what. Its our vacation and if we want to bring a stuffed traveling companion along, we will. Here is Floppy Bunny and his pal Ping at the Leaning Tower in Pisa.

MissRabbit Posted June 1, 2010 #63 Share Posted June 1, 2010 LOLOL. isn't that how it's supposed to be? our pets actually rule the roost. lolol We have 2 identical bunnies that we've decided to take. I found some doll clothes for them and while i have to stuff them in like sausages, they fit. sorta lol Did floppy bunny go with you at all times on the cruise? Floofytail & Fuzzybutt are going to be doing video blogging each day for friends/family/message boards. We weren't going to take our laptop but i just can't resist editing and uploading the blogs in real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he goes on all our vacations since Santa Claus deposited him into my stocking 10 years ago. He also brings along selected members of his sizable gang with him. Just some of the places he's been is: England, Belguim, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungrary, Austria, Italy, Malta, Greece, France, Holland, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rico, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Panama Canal, Disney World, ..... The biggest issue we have is finding souvenir T-Shirts/hats in his size. They are really hard to acquire. We are leaving Thursday for a 12 Day Baltic Adventure on the Eurodam, so he'll add a bunch more countries to his travels. Currently one of my works in progress is the 'Floppy Bunny and Friends Travel the World' Site. No estimate completion date, as I have to work on it during my copious amounts of free time :p.

Bookish Angel Posted June 2, 2010 #65 Share Posted June 2, 2010 He's a bear about six inches tall, light blue and super soft. In addition to being a world traveler, he's a comfort when things are scary, food is bad, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolen1101 Posted June 4, 2010 #66 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My husband has an armadillo key chain thing that he featured on a recent post about our cruise on another website http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=219&t=190249 There's actually a large "dillo" following out there that does similar posts.

Quilting_Cruiser Posted June 7, 2010 #67 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Love the pictures! :D Thanks for sharing! Three years ago I took a business trip to China and my DD (11 at the time) sent along Joey with me so I "wouldn't forget her." I had promised her I would send her a picture everyday, but didn't tell her they would be pictures of Joey. She was especially delighted by the picture of Joey on the Great Wall. :D Since then, Joey has gone on every business trip with me and all our vacations. He'll accompany us on our Mexican Riviera cruise in August. So far he's been to China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman (and other Caribbean ports), Miami, Dallas, New York City, Phoenix, Santa Clara, Anchorage, Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan and I'm sure I'm forgetting some! Here are a few pictures of Joey from our last cruise: Joey on our Prince William Sound glacier tour Joey on a tour Joey rides a towel elephant :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCruiserGal Posted June 7, 2010 #68 Share Posted June 7, 2010 We have an 8 inch plastic rat that we take with us at Halloween when we cruise. We don't carry him around. We leave him at different places and in different situations around our door. Please keep in mind that we decorate our door big time for Halloween, as well as the inside of our cabin. This last cruise was the first time we took him. He ended up getting squeaked more times than you would believe, moved more times than not, he ended up disappearing for a night, but returned after a mysterious note was placed on our door...and a little boy that a few doors down looked forward to seeing him every time he'd walk by and was heart broken when the rat turned up missing. Personally, I think it was an "inside" job with one of friends. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
