Notes Actions
Today will be Elissa's last day in Queretaro before she heads back to Canada. Although we weren't expecting to have her around for this long (we were planning on a couple of days, but her plans changed), it's been SO MUCH FUN having her along for this part of the trip. It will be strange when she's gone.

Today I am working a long day. Brent and Elissa are out running errands - picking up a parcel for Elissa at the bus depot (which, at the end of the day, was more than an ordeal), and getting her Antigen Covid Test done so she can board her plane tomorrow.

Meeting up after I'm done work for Taco Tucson and Bird-O-Clock at the Blue Bicycle hostel.
I am really loving my Unightie. I'm a huge bamboo fan already, and when Calgary entrepreneur, Jackie, approached the COC with this interesting new product she designed, I was an early adopter. I was thinking that I would mostly use it on cycle tours, since I don't do much backpacking these days, and thought I'd give it a trial on our trip to Mexico. I have slept in it every night since we got here, and when I've been working, which is most days, I just stay in it. So, I've been wearing it, let's say, an average of 10 or 12 hours per day since Feb 11, and IT STILL DOESN'T STINK. Today is laundry day and for the second week in a row, I am withholding the Unightie from the ritual. Let's see how long I can wear this baby for before it starts to offend me...

One thing I do wish it had... not for Mexico, but for cycle tours (and backpacking) is a front-flap for the peeing. I would use it with my pee style, but since Jackie wants the product to appeal to men as well, I think a front-flap is in order.

The only other thing about it that may not be ideal... although it's more funny than anything else... is that the magnet sometimes holds onto something that I don't really want it to. Sitting on my chair working, the waist magnet grabs onto the chair. Sleeping... the Unightie bunches up around my waist and the lower magnet engages with the waist magnet. :)
