So Russ.... was the gift well received?
Such a great story to watch....
Reminds me of an experience several years ago.... my best friend and I took a road trip from Virginia to Tennessee to New Orleans for the final four in basketball. He was dating a woman with a young girl and she gave him a bear to carry on the trip. We made it the bear's roadtrip to the Final Four... and took pictures all along the way. Some of my favorites were pictures at Spacecamp in Alabama, pictures behind the glass at Krispy Kreme, and at the Final Four with Dick Vitale.... that kid had a blast watching the bear have these adventures.
I am sure you made someone very happy.

If the cousin's smile is bigger than JerseyVics' (while holding the Koala), we'll know mission accomplished.

koala companion
Would not want to side next to--in any cabin--someone hugging koala on lap.
I think it is going to intrude on my space.
I note--the passenger/OP never mentioned adjacent PX...only upsetting the flight attendant. Who cares about the FA?
Just annoying.
