This is going to be a bit different from my usual blog posts. I do mention the bras I packed and my thoughts on them for the day, but it will be heavily focused on our trip. I hope you enjoy reading this, and let me know your thoughts. This is a 2 part series, click here for Part 2.
So my boyfriend and I live in Ohio and they salt the roads like crazy during the winter, this causes tons of rust especially on older vehicles. Both of us being car enthusiasts,we tend to have a fondness for older cars. My boyfriend had owned 29 cars (all used and usually a purchase price under $1000 or he made trades), for vehicle number 30 he wanted to get something he really wanted. However what he wanted was an early 80's Toyota Pickup, most of which in our area have horrible frame rust (so if not currently structurally unsafe could happen) in addition to body rust. He scoured craigslist all over the country in regions that don't salt their roads. He found one in Washington state, despite all their rain, the vehicles there tend to be in good condition. We planned to fly there and drive the truck home (extensive photos, videos and questions were taken and answered about the truck before purchasing plane tickets).
We both work as independent contractors and didn't have any jobs lined up anytime too soon, so we would be making a vacation out of road trip home. I wasn't sure how long we would be gone, but I wanted to bring a few bra options. We were traveling light since we didn't want to deal with any checked bags (I always fear something will get lost and can't justify the cost nor do either of us need that much). We were able to bring a personal item and carry on bag (we both chose back packs for the personal item). I chose to bring 6 bras with me 3 padded and 3 unlined (unlined are great for not taking up space).
Day 1:
I've been loving my newly acquired
Cleo Mimi recently and decided to give it a try for our flight from Ohio to Seattle with a connection in Chicago. I was very pleased with my decision on that one, it remained comfortable the whole time. I also partially chose this one for the flight since the band is a bit on the looser side, although I chose not to pack any of my tighter fitting bras that would require an extender. I was very pleased with the Mimi, it remained comfortable all day and didn't get irritating while being cooped up on the flight (some bras get a bit uncomfortable while sitting especially if you you sitting backwardly). I put Mimi on at 4am EST and didn't take it off until probably 8pm PST (11pm EST), so that was a long day. If you haven't read
my review on the Cleo Mimi be sure to check it out, I found it to be a good alternative to a Polish half cup and did a comparison.
