Ted tells Marshall and Lily that he is a great packer, and tales are still told of the time he travelled for two weeks with everything he needed packed into a handsfree belt satchel (a fanny pack), and the locals gave him the title of "El ganso con la riñonera." Marshall tells Ted that "El ganso con la riñonera" means "fanny pack dork", but Ted disagrees, saying it means "Packer of great skill and merit" (Future Ted says that it in fact meant "Fanny pack dork"). When Ted gets there, Marshall immediately regrets calling him, as he starts acting cocky. Lily is reluctant, as she says that Ted gets really cocky. When they can’t decide on which stuff to take and leave behind, Marshall suggests that they ask Ted for help, who is good at these things. Robin tells her father that he agreed to help her with this, but when he asks her if she really needs his help, she replies, "Nah, it's stupid", and starts digging alone.Īt the apartment, Marshall and Lily are packing for their yearlong move to Rome. However, before they start digging, he gets a call from Barney, who asks him to be at laser tag in fifteen minutes.
In the present day, Robin visits Central Park with her father to dig up the locket for her something old at her wedding to Barney. While in Central Park, Robin buried a locket there, which she planned on digging up in the future and using as her "something old" at her wedding.
In 1994, Robin's father took Robin to New York City for the first time, for a "father-son" bonding trip.
