Improv Travel was the #StayCayToFarAway task I was looking forward to the least. I’m not always great with thinking on my feet quickly, so a challenge that required just that skill didn’t bode well for me.
Similar to Nick, I tried to prepare beforehand by having a bunch of props on hand. Toilet paper, party hat, remote, medicine, sidewalk chalk, scissors, dog poop bag and lots more besides – what more could I need?!
As it turns out, I needed none of that. Well, maybe I did, but I couldn’t come up with any ways to fit that in once Nick’s video started.
I’d even tried to preempt the photos Nick might have used. Knowing that he’d enjoyed a safari in the past, I figured those might have been the photos he’d use. I grabbed a growler from the fridge to make some kind of lion/growler pun, but sadly there were no lions where he took me.
I’d also hoped to have a trusty helper, but apart from the quick intro, Truffles was more interested with me throwing her toys while I was recording the video than she was about appearing on screen.
Without further ado, here’s my entry to the Improv Travel challenge. And please forgive my mid-video brainfart where I couldn’t think of the term ‘Soapbox Derby’.

Fun to watch Good Job looks like a fun trip !!
#stayinairbud…That poor dog !!!
Elephant?
This is clearly the hardest category. That looked like a really hard three minutes so thumbs up for hanging in there.
Thanks! It didn’t go as badly as I thought it might, but nowhere near as entertaining as Greg’s was the first week!
I was surprised to hear elephant. I was like where is the elephant because I only saw a monkey. Overall, nice effort from Stephen.
Thanks – I’d been confused by what Larry had meant by elephant – no idea why I said that rather than a monkey!
Haha. Now I know why you ignored the elephant in the room (I couldn’t resist) when you wrote “please forgive my mid-video brainfart where I couldn’t think of the term ‘Soapbox Derby’”…
🙂
Yep, turns out I had multiple brainfarts!
I just realized what you meant by elephant – not sure how I came up with that!
Pretty funny looking elephant!
