Pants are for suckers

Ahh what to wear? That question that vexes us so... ok the question that vexes ME umm like every day...

The last adventure spanned multiple countries and climates, so shirt, tie and tweed worked.
Have you ever seen sheep in 85 degrees with 95% humidity?... not comfortable.
Finally settle on this...


  • authentic cowboy shirt with pearl button snaps, check
  • red chervon undies, check
  • panty hose (yes, panty hose... more on this later), check
  • trusty French paratrooper boots, check
  • and wait for it, wait for it... a sarong, check baby.
Let me just say, a sarong is NOT a skirt, and some of the most manly man have worn these through the ages... Alexander the Great, Braveheart, King Kamehameha... add Riad to that majestic list.

 Heather, of course, the paragon of good style and taste, went a different direction, choosing not to have a 5 year old dress her...

  • muted grey denim shirt that says rugged, but retains it's femininity, check
  • Lululemon compression / yoga pants, check
  • danity foral patterned skirt, fitted up top to say hubba hubba, but slightly below the knees to say, good girl, check
  • rainbow sandals, made right hear in good ole San Clemente, Orange County


Finally, the travel gear list...
  • Google Nexus 7 w/ bluetooth keyboard (to not have to be held hostage by finding a freakin Internet cafe to post)
  • a fork / spoon combo (saw it at REI, had to have it, not sure why)
  • Field Notes notebook (tablet good, but sometimes a pencil and a piece of paper come in handy)
  • Baby Shampoo (I have a delicate scalp)
  • rice cooker (my wife is Korean, no joke we take it everywhere)
  • head lamp (ever try to poop in the dark? especially in the jungle)

So if there is ANY reason to keep reading this blog, it is to see Riad in a pair of panty hose, and a skirt, while rocking some boots.
