I want to speak up for the larger plush toy.
I am my own TB. Eeyore Tulip.
Many cachers have tried to fit me into a cache. They have failed. However, cachers have welcomed me with opened arms as I have been thrust into them by other cachers who have enjoyed my company. I travel from cacher to cacher, event to event. All that is required is good geocaching spirit and a ready supply of carrots.
I have not yet tried airline travel.
