What was I thinking . . .

[melissaK]

I have scheduled a five day vacation to go see a WWI airplane fly-in. I am rendevouing with several long-time friends. Cool enough. But it dawns on me that it's become an all guys weekend, and I'm travelling and sharing a room with one guy whom I am not out to - and whom I don't plan to tell.

This is the most nights I have spent away from my wife in 15 years; and I don't have 5 days of guy underwear around. I realize I am more stressed by these two prospects than I want to admit. While my wife is only semi-tolerant of my TS issues, she has come to realize its who I am and I can't change that about me and she at least has compassion for the path I try to live.

My friend on the other hand has sometimes displayed a not too tolerant attitude toward GLBT. I have been slowly sanding his rough corners off through our friendship encounters over the years, but I don't know that I've changed this leopards spots. Don't really want to find out.

Five days didn't seem like much when I booked the trip, now it is seeming like a long time . . .

Well, they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I guess it's a chance to learn more about myself . . . and the airplanes will be cool. Probably what Amelia Earhart said before she left . . . :heehee:

I've got Jockey French cut bikini's - close enough - I have grey's and blue's for just such occasions.

Been there, done that :)

Actually these panties are far more comfy than my short bikini's....

Why do you need to dress and undress in front of your friend? Can't you do so in the privacy of a bathroom?

Relax, have a good time, and, remember, most men notice very little about other men, which is what he believes you are. :happy:

Melissa, I agree with Sharon, why should have to to dress and undress in front of your friend? Use the bathroom. If it's of any comfort, I don't have any male underwear in the flat and haven't had for over a year.

Most importantly of all, relax and enjoy your trip away and let us know how it went when you come home.

Just wear your undies for more than day. 2 day underwear isn't that foul unless you're like exercising in them or something.

Well I survived my 5 day vacation. The shared room concerns ended as plans changed when an Aunt & Uncle insisted on putting us up in seperate rooms.

My concern wasn't that I planned to dress or undress around my friend, but it was over the greatly increased chance of being discovered due to extended close proximity - open suitcases around, getting up out of bed unexpectedly - etc. Hey, I'm a worrier. :heehee:

And the WWI fly-in was a very high T event. Not nearly enough Amelia Earhart's out there. And there weren't enough WWI planes either.

I did chance upon a Cincinnati bar - Molly Malones, Ridge & Montgomery Rd., where the bartender wears a kilt. Seemed worn out of an authentic Celtic pride though, not the least bit cross-gender based.

Ooooh! You should post some plane pictures! I went to the Oshkosh airshow with Amber a couple months back and had a fine time being fully Teresafied. Airshows tend to be Teste land but it's usually a mixed crowd these days, quite a few "Amelias" in evidence enjoying it as much as the men.
