    Well, had a wonderful time in Seattle with Joni and her SO.  It was peaceful, relaxing, cool, wet and GREEEEEEEEN. I got to do a workout in their back yard in soft, green grass to my ankles.  Two whole weeks of just being me.  Not having to work at either gender.  Not deciding which gender to dress as.  Joni was exactly like she is on line and her SO was a very intelligent and sweet lady, lots of fun, both of them.  Add in three friendly cats and one standoffish one and I was in heaven.

    We did not get Out en femme, as one usually means but with Joni and My wardrobes I am pretty sure a few of our trips to the grocery or thrift shop we were pretty much both in girl clothes if one read the labels.   Unfortunately both I and their second car were sick during parts of the trip.  I recovered; the car did not and was replaced.  Nevertheless it was a wonderful trip for me.  Thank you, Joni.

    On the way back a young lady from Peiking was all over me the entire trip and even when we got off the plane.  I truly wish I could have understood more of what she was saying, lol.

    It was interesting being openly two-spirit during the trip.  I realized that en femme I am working as hard as I do en homme.  On the trip I did not have to work at either.  It was very relaxing.

    When I packed my suitcase this time, I realized I was experiencing none of the concern on my first trip packing for Wendy.  I did not care who looked in the suitcase or what they thought of it.  I also spent more effort on accessories than on outfits.  One extra piece and silver jewelry made one dressy outfit into two.  Gold jewelry worked with both outfits.  I packed more girl clothes than guy clothes but casually they get mixed anyway.  I also threw in more of my designer logo clothes than I normally wear en homme. ( Sundance does a great job of buying clothing gifts for me.  My male wardrobe has lables like Brooks Brothers and Armani thanks to her) 
    I even got stopped for a personal luggage check, twice, by security and was totally relaxed.  Big change from my VA trip not long ago.  I think it reflects a lot of internal changes and improved self-esteem over my gender issues.  Lucy has, again, proved right about our fears.  We seem to create most of our own stress, not others.
