Bluff Works Men’s Pants

0

Bluff Works claims you could work all day in their pants, bike home from work, take a moonlit hike that evening, and look sharp while doing it all. While I have never tried to cram work, a bike commute and a hike all in one day, I imagine these pants could handle it all if I did.

These American-made pants were dreamed up by Stefan Loble, a New York resident, who, after having children, decided he was spending way too much time maintaining his clothes. He set out to design pants he could do anything in, from playing in the dirt with the kids the next morning to a dressy date in the evening. He worked around the clock designing the right pant cut, choosing a material that would do what he wanted and producing the final product in four colors: charcoal, classic grey, velvet brown, and light khaki.

I purchased a pair of the light khaki pants in hopes that they would stack up to my lifestyle and I have since put them through the wringer. Full work week without washing or ironing? Check. Hiking through the San Bernardino National Forest? Check. Rough housing with my dog, Ginger? Check. The pants held up wonderfully. They have been resistant to stains and tearing and according to honest friends, family and co-workers, they didn’t take on the shabby appearance of normal pants that have been worn several days in a row.

Of course, working on a travel magazine, I bought these for a specific reason: travel. So, how did they really stack up? First, I crammed them in my camera bag with some shirts and headed to the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis to find out. (For those who don’t know/remember I am the Director of Marketing for a fire equipment dealership – by day.) They proved to be the perfect pair of pants for the trip. FDIC is a massive trade show, which for me meant walking around… a lot. I never had to worry about my pants getting hung up on sharp metal corners because of the tight cut and if they did get snagged, they never tore. I could see this trait being equally useful hiking on backcountry trails or rock climbing.

The pants look similar in appearance to dress pants and have a subtle print on them that gives them a professional look. I fit in easily at business lunches and dinners with clients.

Overall, Bluff Works are very versatile. I would guess that a pair of the charcoal and a pair of the light khaki could get you through an entire trip. They also wash and dry easy. If you line dry them, most of the wrinkles will stretch out and the heat of your body will be enough to relax the rest of the wrinkles.

These pants are made in New York and the owner, Stefan, claims he is dedicated to using only environmentally conscious materials and methods in production. There aren’t any details on the website and Stefan has not responded to requests for information.

Bluff Works are exceptional, particularly compared to travel pants, a category plagued by obnoxious amounts of pockets and loose, frumpy fitting. Bluff Works pants are both stylish and tough, but not perfect. The tight cut and special material don’t allow for the breathability of true adventuring pants, nor space in the leg cuffs for boots. The material tends to pool around the top of the boot. Also, at this point in time, there aren’t any women’s sizes or cuts, but the company is still very young. Despite some very minor complaints, these pants still out-perform and look much better than the majority of “travel” pants out there. I am looking forward to seeing more styles in the future and adding to my collection of Bluff Works plants.

Experience Wildebeest Migration in Kenya & Tanzania

0

This is one of the top wildlife experiences in Africa. The experience occurs between Masai Mara National Park in Kenya and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.

The numbers of wild animals involved in the migration alone are hard to believe: up to two million animals – wildebeest as well as zebra and gazelles which move clockwise around this enormous ecosystem, driven by ancient instincts to find fresh pasture and drinking water.

The great Serengeti wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti’s wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra, and some few Grant’s gazelle, Thompson’s gazelle, eland and impala.

The action is done every year when the large number of wildlife move to seek fresh grazing and, it’s now thought, better quality water. The timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is totally dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.

How wildebeest migration is occurs?

The migrating herds of wildlife undergo all manner of challenges and hardships as they move from region to region, and are constantly under attack from predators especially  from Africa’s big cats and the notoriously dangerous crocodiles that lie in wait at various streams and river crossing points.

To see the wildebeest migration, you need to plan wisely; the wildebeest migration is a fluid, dynamic affair taking place between Kenya and Tanzania. You can plan to wait in Kenya or Tanzania depending on the advice of your experienced tour operators. Depending on where you will be waiting from at that time, you may see the wildebeest herds giving birth and courting, moving in great dusty columns or funneling across muddy rivers.

There are accommodation in both Masai Mara and the Serengeti to enable you to experience the migration, and nearly all scheduled tours and safaris to either country include excursions into the two conservation areas. For a faultless wildebeest migration safaris you are requested to contact one of our East African experts to help you tailor make your itinerary basing on your interest. Their knowledge and experience of the migration means you’ll be in safe hands to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event.

The short rains begin around early November. A little after this, in late November and December, the herds of the wildebeest migration arrive on the short-grass plains of the Serengeti. These are south and east of Seronera, around Ndutu and include the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dispersed across these plains, wildebeest and zebra are everywhere – feeding on the fresh, nutritious grasses. They stay here through January, February and March, with most wildebeest calves born in a short window around February. Gradually they spread west across these plains, then around April they start their great migration north. It should be noted that Wildebeest migration depends on the pasture and water – animals move to the area where there in plenty of pasture and water.

By May the Serengeti’s wildebeest all seem to be moving north, migrating to seek fresh grazing and water.  Some of the migration then head due north of Seronera, but most are usually further west. Around June the wildebeest migration is often halted on the south side of the Grumeti River, which has some channels which block or slow their migration north. The wildebeest then congregate there, in the Western Corridor, often building up to a high density before crossing the river. The river here is normally a series of pools and channels, but it’s not continuous – and so whilst they always represent an annual feast for the Grumeti River’s large crocodiles, these aren’t usually quite as spectacular as the crossings of the Mara River, further north.

The wildebeest migration continues moving northwards during July and August, often spreading out across a broad front: some heading through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo, others north through the heart of the Serengeti National Park.

September sees the herds spread out across the northern Serengeti, where the Mara River provides the migration with its most serious obstacle. This river gushes through the northern Serengeti from Kenya’s adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve.

Watching the frantic herds of the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River can be very spectacular; there are often scenes of great panic and confusion. It’s common to see herds cross the Mara River north on one day, and then back south a few days later. By October the wildebeest herds are migrating again with more accord: all are heading south, through western Loliondo and the Serengeti National Park’s Lobo area, returning to the green shoots which follow the rains on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti in November.

Top 7 Uncool Things To Do On A Cruise Ship

0

Cruising-newbies often make those dreaded first mistakes on a cruise ship, so here to help; I’ve written a guide on the most cringe-worthy things I spot passengers doing on cruise ships. From fighting to ugly shorts! Also, check out Six Tips For The Cruise Newbie.

7. Wear Catastrophic Shorts

Dad:

I’m thinking of you as I write this.

From the teen phase and beyond, fashion has always been a crucial part of my life. I guess I’m just like that!

Maybe it’s the inner Eddie and Patsy (Absolutely Fabulous) in me?

However, as for my father, it’s a different case!

I’m sorry Dad but loud ugly shorts must never be worn:

End of story.

Of course, that does also include Hawaiian shirts (Unless for a themed evening).

6. Steal Sunbeds

There is only one thing that really irritates me on a cruise;

When I spot other passengers hogging double the amount of sunbeds they actually need.

Suprised?

No! They’ve been sitting there since 5 am just to reserve their spot.

I see this scenario play out far too often on cruise holidays.

But what these passengers don’t realize is there is absolutely no need to do this.

The beauty of cruise ships is that they are designed to be incredibly spacious, packed with places for you to unwind. So there’s no need to head straight for the sunbeds; Why not relax in one of the many onboard lounges, bars or reception?

But that’s not just it…

Word of warning:

If you place your towels on a sunbed to try and ‘reserve’ it, the onboard crew has full authority to remove it.

I bet you wished you hadn’t got the early 5 am wakeup call now!

5. Hog The Buffet

Similar to actress Rebel Wilson, my mum always taught me that when you go to a buffet; you take some home!

And so:

This was the plan on my first cruise.

It became my mission to try and sneak as much food as possible back to my cabin.

Cependant, (‘however’ in French….it sounds better) you really don’t need to take this drastic measure on cruise holidays.

Often on various cruise ships, the buffet will be open twenty-four hours a day. This was actually one of the highlights of my maiden cruise onboard the MSC Splendida.

And if you really are desperate to eat in your room, on some cruises, you can order buffet cuisine from room service for free.

4. Miss The Ship

There is a constant relaxed and detoxed atmosphere onboard a cruise ship, with not a worry in the world.

However:

That doesn’t mean things aren’t professional.

Excuse the pun, but cruises are run…well…like a tight ship.

If you haven’t pre-booked an excursion, you may choose just to wander off on your own accord.

That’s absolutely fine!

In fact, I did that for the majority of my first cruise.

However, you must ensure you get back to the ship with plenty of time before it’s due to disembark. Luckily I didn’t have to learn this the hard way!

Under the umbrella of naivety, passengers can be lead to believe that the cruise ship will wait for them. Yet, how you won’t be laughing as you arrive into port (late) to see your vessel sailing off into the sunset…without you.

Not only that:

You will also have to find and fund your own transport to the next destination to re-embark.

3. Rude To Staff

On a recent voyage, I actually witnessed this type of idiotic behavior.

Cruise staff do a marvelous job on cruise ships, many people don’t realize the amount of hours crew actually have to work.

And of course, that’s seven days a week!

No day off.

Throughout your cruise holiday, they provide fantastic service. Nothing is too much trouble. Passengers have absolutely no right to be rude to staff, no matter how rich or famous you are.

On this particular cruise, I was so horrified by what I witnessed, I had to speak up and apologize to the crew member. Nonetheless, he informed me that this is regular treatment he was receiving from passengers.

I was disgusted.

2. Overpack

Whenever holidaying with my parents, we always have what we call a “1st Draft” suitcase. Usually, this is where my mum has tried to fit everything she possibly can (including the kitchen sink) into the suitcase.

We then, of course, remove half of this wasted space and are still able to re-fill it with other junk we don’t need.

There are many perks of cruising from a port within your home country. One of which, there are practically no limited restrictions on the amount of luggage you can take.

However:

What passengers forget is how much cabin space they have.

Endless amounts of luggage can clutter your cabin, making you constantly tread over each other’s toes. And so, pack a reasonable amount, but don’t forget anything either!

1. Create A Fight

Seriously:

Does this even need expanding?

Rules and laws that apply on land, apply at sea.

Those who cause trouble will be thrown off- not literally of course!

You may be unaware, cruise ships have a fully trained security team onboard who are perfected to spot bad behavior.

If passengers commit a crime onboard, they are detained to their cabin immediately. In fact, some cruise ships have an onboard safe room. You will then be handed over to the local port police, and no one wants that.

I hope this article has been helpful and humorous!

I must admit:

I’m number 2!

Being a cruise blogger, there are certain expert cruising items I always make sure I take with me onboard. So whether you’re a cruise newbie or a seasoned cruiser, you may find some use in my cruise packing list below. Nearly all of which are Amazon bestsellers!

What may seem quite peculiar is the Viking Sea’s hidden Lichen garden. Hidden underneath the atrium stairs, the garden is an explosion of exotic colors. Catching wide attention.

It was in fact named after the chairman of Silversea Cruises, Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio. Full ranges of dishes feature on the menu from seafood to pasta. Yet, the most popular dish on the menu is the Florentine Steak. The Bistecca Fiorentina. Widely popular for its luscious flavor and thickness, it’s no surprise this is one of the most ordered dishes onboard.

4. Private Sauna For Passengers

Although I shall never be lucky enough to stay in an owners suite, you may have enough money. The owner’s suite onboard the Viking Sea is certainly a one-off. The suite features its very own sauna with a view of the ocean. Thus allowing passengers to be sent in a state of pure relaxation as they watch the world pass by. You may have recently spotted to sauna onboard Jane McDonald’s new series of “The Cruise”.

3.Detox Thermal Suite

For deep relaxation onboard the Viking Sea, you may choose to visit the complimentary LivNordic Spa. This spa features a variety of treatments to soothe even the most stressed (thinking of you mum). Value for money is demonstrated through the LivNordic Spa. In fact, the thermal suite is complimentary to all passengers. Here, customers can relax in the hot-tub, thalassotherapy pool, therapy shower or ceramic heated lounge.

Ensuring you keep warm at all points, the cabins actually include both a heated bathroom floor and even an anti-fog mirror.

1. Snow Onboard The Viking Sea

Perhaps one of the Viking Sea’s strangest elements is the chilled Snow Grotto. This facility is situated in the spa center, even featuring falling snow from the ceiling. With a bench to sit on, you can be transported into complete relaxation. Or if you’re like me and you occasionally need a little hydrotherapy; you can relax in the hot tub. For more information on the Viking Sea, make sure you check out another cruise blogger, my friend Cruise Miss, where she talks about the float out of the Viking Sea.

5 Things to Pack for a Long Distance Trip

0

One of the most important factors in traveling, especially long-distance, is packing. You can’t take everything with you, so pack lightly; however, do not pack so lightly that you leave out necessities.

Five important things to pack for a long distance trip are narrowed down below:

1. Pack comfortable clothing that is easy to maintain and is suitable for the climate at your destination.

2. An extra pair of comfortable shoes should be packed. Shoes can break or become damaged and it is not always convenient to buy another pair. If you are going to be doing a lot of walking after reaching your destination or when stopping for breaks, it is especially important to bring shoes that are comfortable to walk in.

3. Bottled water is an essential for long-distance travel and helps avoid dehydration. Sodas and sugary or caffeinated drinks can cause bloating, dehydration, and sleepiness.

4. An emergency medical kit containing items such as cold medication, pain reliever, antiseptic cream, motion sickness medication, etc., should be packed. It is very important to bring any any all prescription medication.

5. A personal hygiene kit that consists of items such as toothpaste, shampoo, soap, razor, deodorant, etc., is important to take when traveling long-distance.

A Vacation for the Soul

Get Ready for Travel
Traveler woman waves her hand to airplane

It’s quite amazing how we think there is very little we as human beings can do alone. You do not picture yourself taking adventures and having fun without your family or friends.

You do not give yourself the benefit of the doubt that you will enjoy your own company and not miss other people, because you are so used to doing a lot of things with others.

Before you embark on anything you should know that, there is a difference between lonely and being alone. One can only be lonely because they do not feel the presence of those they love in their life. While alone is something you choose to do; being away from people. As human beings, it is important to embrace being alone, it cannot be avoided. You will not always be surrounded by people you love, there are times when you will not have them around you. And that is not a bad thing.

Every once in awhile, we all need to get away. We need time all to ourselves and not because we can’t stand the ones we love or our jobs. But only because, we need some “me time” to appreciate the most important person in our lives, ourselves. You can choose to do it for a day or even go as far as flying out of the country to some island to discover new things for yourself.  Getting away from everything does not necessarily mean that you have to pack your bags and run away. It means giving yourself enough time to grow you.

As adults, we spend our lives going through the motions; graduate, get a job and everything becomes scheduled for us. We forget how it feels like to take time off and breath without worrying about the next problem or those we love. But once you take a moment to breath, give your mind and heart time off to just relax and get there, your body appreciates you for it.

We never appreciate the free time we had when younger till the years seem to be rushing by.

So why wait for the later years to celebrate your life? Do it now; go for that road trip, try new things, go dancing, spa day, read those books or even try something extreme like kayaking and give your soul the vacation it deserves.
