Traveling with people with travel gnomes

What does Pinky Street, Ernie of Sesame Street and a hot pink make-up brush have in common? They all travel. Not by themselves, of course.

I’ve long since learned to ignore the strange glances I get when I take out my Pinky Street dolls to take photos. So when I got to travel with two other people with travel gnomes, I was happy because I wasn’t so freaky afterall; other people take photos of inanimate objects when they travel, too!

It was great to hang out with other travelers who are into the same thing — they understand when you want to go off on your own to take photos of your dolls. But then again, it wasn’t just the same interest that made this trip so much fun, it was the company ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I agree! It’s so much fun to travel with people who have their own travel gnomes because they understand that need to take your toy out and start snapping photos!

    I had so much fun hiking with you guys! Looking forward to traveling with you again! Hike another mountain? Definitely!

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Uhm, pass? Let me think hard about this one… I’m still so sore even after a trip to the spa.

    But yes! This was one of the best trips ever! I really enjoyed traveling with you guys, specially that 5-hour ride back to Makati XD

    Baklang AJ: True, it didn’t feel like 5 hours.. it felt like 10 XD I swear, that climb was torture. But I have to admit, it was fun in its own perverted way. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ferdz: Hurhur, it’s time to visit the toy store! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Meron sa Toy Kingdom and Toys R Us nung maliit na animal plush toys. Php49 lang for a pair. I’m not sure if there’s a wolf, but they have pandas!

    Fritz: Of course! Happy sobra. I’ll take a photo of you with my dolls next time ๐Ÿ˜€

    Rina: I know one guy who brings a Spiderman action figure when he travels. Another girl naman brings a tabo! My tip is to get a travel gnome that’s close to your heart ๐Ÿ˜€

    Ernie is the cone head who has a rubber ducky which makes his bath time lots of fun.

    =)

    WADAPAK. First, the cone head doesn’t like rubber duckies! But yes, Ernie likes rubber duckies…. because he’s not the conehead!!!

    *head explodes*
