My family would travel to the East Coast every summer to visit family. While visiting the Liberty Bell Museum when I was 8 or 9, I began acting like a brat and begggggggging my mom for this whistle. She flatly refused again and again but then secretly bought it and surprised me with it later!

Souvenirs are for suckas! Just kidding, I don't have any because they are against my religion. ;)

Purchased this "money tree" in happy elephant pot at the 2006 OC Fair (left). Photo to right is now. Sweet elephant pot went to happy hunting grounds in the sky, though the "money tree" is still surviving my constant abuse.
PS: Money tree still not producing greenbacks ;)

It's a tad cheating because every charm is a souvenir but everyone is such a great story.

This is my yooper shot glass. (yoopers are residents of upper peninsula Michigan) as you may or may not be able to make out, it says (from bottom to top)"why bother" "red neck shot" "snowmobile shot" "yopper shot"

I may know something about "yoppers." As in "Up in the U.P." I hope that makes sense. We have some friends that call that yonder home. Trying to figure out where we'd land on the "yopper shot."

One of the first things I bought after landing in Nova Scotia. TwinkieJesus was SO happy (and much warmer)!

Got this in Greece, from an old antique dealer - I'm not sure the glass is original, but it shows cherubs flying around. It's the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning.

I'm not really a souvenir person, but last summer my parents happened to be visiting the States and passed through the city where the Democratic National Congress was being held. I supposed there must be a bajillion tons of stuff for sale asked them to pick up some Obama merchandise. This t-shirt has 'OBAMA' on it in AC/DC style letters – kinda fun.

I found this on my first scuba trip to Hawaii; and I love it for some reason. I was very lucky because when I removed the key for the sand, a sea snake swam right through my fingers. Had I been bitten, that would have not been good, as they are related to cobras.

That reminds me of when those crazy Brady kids went to Hawaii and stupid Bobby or whoever picked up that idol and it brought them nothing but an hour's worth of bad luck. But then again, not really cuz this was...um...a good luck thing and so that makes this your lucky charm.
So never mind about the Brady kids. Although didn't you just wish that tarantula would sting Marcia...?

I would post them online and see if anybody recognizes them. Post on "Travel" websites. Register, "LOSTKEYS.COM" and who knows, maybe you can build such a buzz that the place that the keys come from would comp you :) Then again, probably not. lol

Julien-K T-shirt. The first time I ever heard the band and I liked them so much that after they were done playing, I went to buy one of their shirts.

I've been interested in photography for a long time, and drooled over the state of the art dSLR cameras. It wasn't until a cruise, that stopped in St. Thomas that I looked up at the 10D oon the shelf in a small shop and convinced myself to spend $1500 on a digital camera (when I already had a Digital Point-and-shoot on me). It's not a relic of a specific region, but the detailed memories it records are priceless and the camera itself is a reminder of that cruise.

Bought this from a guy pulling a paddle boat rigged up with shelves behind him on a beach in Montego Bay. His asking price was 160. He made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone I talked him down to 65. Oops.

That's so awesome that you worked on Saints Row 2. I finally got around to playing it last weekend and am loving it. So much to do. I've already put hours into it and have barely touched the storyline. Kudos.

@autoawesomeon: Hah! Glad you like it. In particular, I worked on the melee combat, Trail Blazing, Septic, FUZZ, Fight Club and Heli Assault. Fight Club (which, oddly enough is one of the simplest activities) was by far the most work and was the bane of my existence for quite some time, but people seem to really like it, so I'm proud of my work there, regardless.

The fact that I managed to get this frame speaks a lot to how much I like it. I'm sure I was taken for a ride- this was purchased at a "papyrus institute" that was part of the tour I went on in Luxor. I really liked this though. It's real papyrus, and the birds are sitting on the tree of life and each represents a different phase of life.
