Going to dinner in a pair of nice designer jeans or slacks is fine, but then wearing that stuff to bash, with no AC I’m guessing will be hot af just like patty’os was. That means I got to go back to get changed or sweat to death. From a packing perspective, here lies the problem. Jen can fit dozens of dresses in her bag since each outfit is equivalent in size to a handful of dental floss. Each pair of jeans/dress shorts I pack takes up serious suitcase real estate. Then my size 12 shoes to go with different types of pants takes up even more space. In theory, I could reuse my pants, but that never works out! After drinking all day, I don’t take care of my clothes very well. Somehow i always seem to find them in a wet pile in the corner of our room when I wake up in the morning ;-) So it’s like I have to pack 2x as many bottoms then if I could just wear shorts to dinner.. And btw.. I’m not talking Umbro’s here! A lot of my outfits with shorts look nicer than my outfits with pants!
I agree. We use just carry-on, so this is going to make packing even more difficult. I suppose the trade off from board shorts, to the new style ScubaSteve is promoting may be a net trade-off? I may actually have to start planning my packing, and not just throwing stuff together the night or two before. Such first world problems....the promise of a boob filled vacation does help.
Linen pants take up less room and weight than jeans, and are far cooler and more comfortable. Sean is bringing 4 pairs. Hopefully that will get us thru 9 nights of dinners and the Bash nights where he doesn't have a kilt or just gonchies on, but 2 of the pants are white! Hmmm...I better throw another pair in the suitcase. But I agree, needing to bring pants will make it very difficult for the folks who only fly with carry-ons.
Yeah...when we went I said there are a bunch of "costume changes." I'm an early riser often up before most people...so I'll wear pants as a bum around....maybe go-to store. Then change for pool. On the days i kid myself and pretend to workout I have a gym clothes change. Then back to the room for dinner costume. Then back to the room for BASH. Minimum 3 costume changes per day. One day as many as 5.
Its just dinner people ......wear some freakin pants !!!!!!! 2hrs max , will you go into cardiac arrest if you wear pants ? Anaphylactic shock? Get over it and put your big boy pants on and go to dinner then when your done go back to your room and put whatever turns your crank on ... Rant over
Right, huh? I didn't even know they made yoga pants for men! Do men do yoga? The only reason my husband would attend a yoga class is to hang out in the back (in yoga pants, I gather) watching the women do downward dogs in front of him. And we live in the yoga capital of Canada.
