Free the Bulge – Places I want to plan trips.

One big element of Free the Bulge will be Travel. I want to plan and take small and large trips with guys who want to go to sunny, fun places (note: I didn’t say Sunny, fun places). There are a lot of places I want to go, and I think a group of underwear-and-gear guys going with me would be incredible. 

1. Blacks Beach, San Diego – this has been on my list for a while, and it’s the perfect place for guys into Speedos and thongs to go, especially if it’s a first time. It’s a nude beach, but anything can be worn. It’s a trek to get to, but I hear it’s awesome. 
2. Palm Springs – Another place I haven’t been. Thonger’s weekend is there in July, but I want to plan a trip in the cooler months as a weekend or week getaway to lie in the sun and relax. 
3. FTL/Haulover Beach – Notice a theme? Yeah, these are all beaches or places to lie out, but they are also very friendly thong/speedo places. Haulover is the nude beach, and there are plenty of resorts in FTL. 
4. Tight Storm – Let’s go international and go to Tight Storm and have some spandex fun. I hear this is an amazing event, and Europe is the home of the Lycra community. I think getting 3-4 guys to go would be awesome. And this is in Austria.
5. London – For many reasons: underwear shopping and, hopefully, a Grip event as well. London would be amazing to go to, and find some underwear shops. Plus, there are a lot of guys. Who listens to the podcast in London? A meet-up will be scheduled at a pub or another location. 
6. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – this would be amazing when the rest of the country is cold and shoveling snow to be on the beach and relaxing. I definitely want this as a winter trip. It would be amazing!!! 
7. Toronto, Canada – I haven’t been to Toronto since I was in my 20s; it’s time to go back and have fun. There is a ton to do in the city, and yes, they have an underwear store. We at UNB love our Canadian neighbors and should go support and meet our Canadian listeners, and I’m sure I can convince some other guys to go with me. 
8. Melbourne, Australia – The top of the bucket list is Melbourne, and we have heard some great things about underwear nights and such from the guys down there. So we must go and have a great time with our Aussie friends. And I say Melbourne because all of my Aussie friends are from there, and I say to skip Sydney (hey, but if we are traveling that far, we are hitting Sydney for a night or two, so I can climb the bridge, another bucket list item for me). This would be in February, we need summer time!!! 

This is a rough list I’ve put together, and I’d love to hear where you guys want to go. I would love to do more international locations, even if we are going to sightsee, we are guys who love the same things, we can track down some local brands and stores, and have fun. And we are also looking at a cruise! Let me know your thoughts.
