Travel Mates!
When we left in October, everyone kept telling us how amazing this trip was, and how much they wish they could do it. Our response was always: "Well, what's stopping you? Why don't you come with us?!" Nobody took us up on the offer. So we decided to bring along some close friends and family in spirit! Meet THE MASCOTS!
 | Rocco is seen here as a spotted alligator. Tiffany is sporting a 'hip' look as a pink hippo! Clark, a happy little Buddha, has been smiling since we told him we were taking him with us through Asia! Rascal and Izzy (Beth's cats) said they would miss Casey too much and had to come as well! |
Rocco and Tiffany ready for their first journey, from Florida to Delaware. We were both sad to say goodbye to Tiffany in Florida, and Rocco in New York. They've both been close friends from high school, through college, and into 'adulthood'. They were the original mascots, and inspired the addition of the rest of the crew! |  |
 | Meet Doozer. He was a keepsake from Stump. 'Endeavor to persevere.' That's Doozer's motto, and a direct representation of Casey's Mom. He serves as a reminder to enjoy the now, and look forward to tomorrow! |
Mr. Fix-It. Always has great advice when in a bind. This little man carries the wisdom of Casey's Pop, and will come in handy in our journey around the world. |  |
 | Ralphie is a mascot from Andrew's parents. He's 25 years old, and spent most of his life sitting at a desk in New York and Florida. He's decided in his early retirement to 'unlace the skates' and spend some time traveling the world. He worked hard for it, especially after enduring year after year of losing seasons with the Islanders! |
