So....I managed to get this giraffe from Africa through 3 airports, about 6 security checks and into the overhead compartment. A lot of smiles and eyelashes helped get her home. And then I walked off the plan without her. Luckily I realized that my shoulders felt awfully light and realized I left her on the plane. Back on board there she was, waiting in the seat for me.
Mamie is special addition to my travel collection. She is named after one of the many amazing woman I traveled with to South Africa who wisely convinced me to not just get the giraffe, but to go and go big. I think she suggested that I may only get to Africa once in my life and I certainly do not want to have only a table top giraffe. I took a risk and it paid off. Mamie is seen here posing next to Buddha. They can be see in my APT gazing across the room at each other.
