Great Women's Travel Pants by Isis

Check out these great travel pants from Isis!  These "Walkabout" pants will be coming with me on my September Oceans and Hilltowns Tour, and I'm looking forward to wearing them quite a bit while on tour with my ladies.  These pants have a flattering and forgiving fit, are made of a stretchy and quick-dry fabric, and have several discreet zippered pockets (great for holding passport, Euros, credit/debit cards).  They also roll up into capris for those warmer days.  I chose black because they won't show dirt and will match everything.  Thank you, Isis!

Note:  The picture provided by Isis (above, in khaki) is not terribly attractive.  These pants actually fit very nicely and offer a bit of "drape" without being too loose.   I also really appreciated the two discreet leg pockets for my passport and for extra cash.                                                                     Here I am wearing the black Isis travel pants at our cooking class in Italy in September 2010. They were very lightweight yet durable, could be "dressed up" to look quite nice for evening, and could be rolled up into capris, which came in handy for the very warm but rainy day in the Cinque Terre (below):

Italian Club of Salt Lake

If you're in Utah or coming for a visit and are interested in events related to Italian culture, music, or food, check the Italian Club of Salt Lake (ICSL) website for information: www.italianclubofsaltlake.com .

The ICSL also offers wonderful Italian language classes in a fun and comfortable setting at Raw Bean Cafe', at 611 South West Temple (great access off I-15). I'm the coordinator of the classes as well as a student, and believe me, the classes are great!
