I’m Torn!

Ok guys, I need your help.  My predicament is whether or not to bring a pair of jeans on this trip.  Initial response is, “no, jeans are heavy and don’t dry quickly, which can quickly lead to a musty smell throughout your bag.”  Also, you might add, “Berkley, you’re going to be traveling through a lot of hot, hot climates and jeans won’t be comfortable, especially when it’s humid.”  But, here’s my thing… I live in jeans.  I love a dress, but there will be places (with malaria carrying mosquitoes and the like) where I can not wear a dress.  And if I’m thinking about how I look, at all, I like how I look wearing jeans more than when I’m wearing pants of a different material.  GAH! I’m so torn!  I need social input! Please tell me your thoughts!
