Here’s a little bit about us.

Sincerely,

The Swizzles

Rumor has it we have a competitor who has never been seen though having a lengthy presence on FlyerTalk. Now purely in the interest of helping out Randy, we did a search on the handle of this person, who shall remain unnamed, ‘Competitours’ and ‘FlyerTalk thong’. We were a bit surprised to find this. George, is that you in the jungle?

Team Thelma and Louise

When I received an order for a logo thong as part of our broad offer to clothe and supply other types of travel necessities for the FlyerTalk sponsored teams, my first thought was, “Gee, what an inventive way to pack lightly for this scream across Europe. Less weight, faster times to the train, the taxi and maybe even the the top of the stairs. But then again, I’m thinking it might be an inventive way to distract other teams. That would certainly be clever and of course, these teams do want to win.

As you follow along on this blog for the travel competition, let’s all be on the lookout for when this particular item will be used … and how:

Judie is usually our writer and I am the technician (don’t fall off  
your chair laughing, Mikel), but she’s very busy getting ready to go,  
so I will be the one to throw down the gauntlet to you other teams.   
Judie and I have been traveling together since college, when we went  
to Europe on $5 a Day and did it on $4.85!  We slept in fifth floor  
walk-ups, ate in student cafeterias and slept on overnight trains.  We  
even invented a way to sleep sitting up with out drooling! 
  

I’ve escaped the jungles of the Yucatan and Campeche and will indeed be on my flight Sunday …well, assuming I pack. But in case anyone has a doubt as to who is blond and who is blonder, let me tell you Elizabeth has got our packing down to micro-lite, ready-for-anything, your-Batman-utility-belt-has-nothing-on-us science. Not only has Elizabeth got us packing just one nail file between us to save weight and space, but we are cutting that nail file in half! (And that last part …my idea … see, Elizabeth’s blonder.)
