Take This Vacation and Stuff It!

When our friend Robert first wrote about this travel agency earlier this week, we had to ask him if this was a joke - c’mon, a travel agency where you send your stuffed animal and they take them around Prague, photographing it at major tourist points, and even giving it a massage???? He assured us that this is not a joke but we are not convinced.
Witness: the Toy Traveling website where seem at first to be a little too accomodating. They make sure you know they do not discriminate by nationality, race, religion, sexual preferences, age, or handicap. But, they don’t mention gender, now do they? Will they accept Mrs. Wibbly Wobbly Wonderful, our stuffed kitty? It’s just not clear.
However, they do make a point of taking your Mr. Stuffed Animal to the sights using eco-friendly means, 95% of trips are taken on foot or by public transport.
We also have to admit the pictures are adorable; do we have to pay extra for the stuffed animal picnic we see in one of them? We are a little suspicious that the animals get the full hour long massage - it seems like an easy way to skim some off the top of the US $100+ they are charging…
Hey, thanks for the linke, Shadia. I was astounded at the number of people - including my wife - who just assumed the entire thing was a put on. Incredibly, I only made up the Kafka stuff. And for all I know, even THAT may be true.
bests,
Bob
