Swinedate: September 29, 2011. Location: Unknown. Possibly wrapped in a T-shirt. The Mission: Reviving this blog – because someone’s got to do it! The tools at hand are few, but many a Swine have succeeded where mankind have failed before. Hooves beat scissors beat bag, y’know. Very soon, I will journey to the city [...]
Since no one else is stepping up to the plate, Bacon asked if he could put a post together for the betterment of this blog. Unfortunately, his paws are not fit to type on a keyboard, so I’ve volunteered to help the little oinker out. First of all, Bacon thinks we’re doing a lousy job [...]
While the bipedal members of the seatsofourpants.com team have been frolicking around in the snowy north, Bacon has been busy planning the next phase of our travels. Using his savings (and our credit cards), he has been one mean, lean travel booking machine. The way Bacon has figured it out so far is that we [...]
Things got a little hot and heavy with Bacon and a lady friend a few night ago. I can’t help but be reminded of when Martin and I first met. Just sayin’.
We’ve been pretty lax about featuring Bacon on this blog lately, so it wasn’t much of a surprise to find our proud Swine at the keyboard today, chopping away at a post of his own. He is a multi-talented pig, our pig.
Bacon slipped me last week’s allowance (a two rupee note) last night. If the door happened to open past our bedtime, I should ignore it. Martin’s a heavy sleeper so Bacon knew he had nothing to worry about on that front. I told him the payoff wasn’t necessary. He’s welcome to do what he wants. [...]
Bangkok was our first destination on this trip. We were here nine months and a much fatter bank account ago. Having not gained our budget travel wits yet, we stayed at a nice hotel and ate at semi-luxurious restaurants. This time around we’re staying in the backpacking mecca, Khao San Road, in a room [...]
Life on the road moves at a different pace than in the real world. The key to maintaining a semblance of the person you were before traveling (as opposed to a loser hippie traveler, for example) is to keep yourself busy in creative ways. Martin and I do this a few different ways. One [...]
I received some paperwork a few weeks ago from my Dad. With tax time creeping up, it was time to face some realities (boring) and figure out how I was going to deal with taxes. I’ll spare you the details, but it involved paperwork and signatures – one from me and two from witnesses. One [...]
Despite his complete absence in our daily trek accounts, Bacon was with us on our Jomsom/Annapurna Sanctuary trek. For the most part he stayed in my backpack. His plan was simple. He didn’t want to see anything until we made it to the top, figuring that would be the best way to experience the Annapurna [...]
Though Bacon is young and trim now, his bad habits could eventually catch up to him. This was painfully illustrated by this, um, fine specimen on the third day of our trek. We found him, bitter and alone on our lunch table. His advice to our friend Bacon? “This world is rough. If [...]
We’re still on our Annapurna trek in Nepal, but thought you might like a little review of our friend Bacon’s adventures. For those of you first meeting the little guy, you can check out his bio on our About Us page. Cheers! Bacon in Indonesia By the time we’d reached Indonesia Bacon had finally fallen [...]

We’re still on our Annapurna trek in Nepal, but thought you might like a little review of our friend Bacon’s Vietnam adventures.

You know the saying, “to fly by the seat of your pants?” Well, that's been our philosophy for most of our adult lives – before and after meeting, falling in love and marrying. We're now taking that idea on an extended round-the-world trip. Follow us as we share the good, the bad and the downright nasty of life on the road.
