OK, how about a bit of background on how Bob and I met. Several years ago, like maybe 2004 or so I attended one of those group hug management training sessions in the UK. Like most of these things it was scheduled on very short notice and everyone had to attend. Everyone except several senior executives, who were the ones who REALLY needed the training. Anyway....... The idea of the session was to encourage open feedback. We were given a "Wee Watcher" who was supposed to be our companion and remind us to be civil and consider our words carefully. Well, Bob was my "Wee Watcher" for the session. Bob did a good job and often kept me out of trouble. At the end of the program Bob decided to stow away in my bag and that is how we began our travels.
Over the years Bob has tagged along as I have traveled thousands of miles working for the company. He has been loyal and always on time for departure. He takes up little space but has been a huge help as a companion in many foreign countries. He makes friends quickly and often is able to disarm tense situations at immigration check points. As you will see he enjoys having his photo taken so he can share our adventures. I am never alone when Bob travels with me.
Bob likes to preflight the aircraft we travel on.
Bob likes the window. I prefer an aisle seat.
In 2009 Bob and I went around the World in about 30 days. It was a wonderful adventure. Bob took every opportunity to sample local beverages during the trip.

I hope this helps give you a bit of background on Bob. Stay tuned there is much more to come!
