Oh gosh! Less than a week away...


In my best Trini voice...Oh goooosh! :)  In only six more days, I will be headed to Port of Spain, Trinidad for the New Waves Dance & Performance Summer institute.  Do I have everything yet? Nope. Am I packed? Heck to the naw!! But yall know, that's how I roll-lol.  Anywhoo, I will begin detailing the journey from today...:)

I love your enthusiasm for me...love the fact that many of you are rootin' for me to take this trip.  It's like we are taking this trip together...y'all will see what I see, experience stuff as I experience...well not in the physical, but u know what I'm talking about.  I am open to new experiences...and places.  I have to keep that in mind this time when I'm like...this dance class is too deep for me-LOL.  Y'all know sometimes creative people can sometimes be too deep for my likings...or how I say too 'fruits n berries' for me...or sometimes, all I want to do is happy dancing, fun, energetic...drop it like it's hot...lol...but when they ask me to add emotion, Im like...errr uhhh, so ummm...I don't feel anything...I hope to be open enough to (in my dancers voice)..feel the emotion ...oye...I will try!  We shall see...

With regards to many of  your concerns about who I'm going with or who I know...Y'all know I don't need a crew to act on anything...the Mickster likes to yap it up w/ new folks.  I will probably have a new saying or two by the time I reach back :).  Bottom line is this, I have always wanted to travel the world and dance...not on anyone's tour, but dance with the people...the people who live there, the people who visit...learn a new way of doing something, experience that place.  So that's the goal...document it, and bring it back to share with the people here. 

Oh wait, one more thing, I also want to be pushed beyond my comfort zone...b/c chileeee, right now, I'm a lazy lima bean...creative juices have left the building...so New Waves better hook a sista up! ha ha...but don't really like kick my butt... ;) The journey begins...NOW!

waaaaiiiittt!!! I gotta get my shirt done this week, so if there are any more donations, please make them before wednesday... I have to send the names to add to my shirt.

Still counting down...oh gosh!

Gotta check into Digicel to see if their SIM card is compatible w/ my cell carrier.  
hmm, what else should I be thinkin about?

Hmmm, only 26 more days...One of my friends (actually a few of my overachieving friends :)) would probably be packed by now.  Me on the other hand...not so much.  I will start my list of things to pack today.  Maybe I should call University of Trinidad to see if they have a computer lab...hmm...that sounds like a master plan.  It's Tuesday, so @ 3pm I should look at the sale fares...oh, y'all didn't know that 3pm on a Tuesday is the best time to purchase a flight?  Now you know...either way, I have 26 days to be ready...Anyone need braids or twists?  I got you...for a small fee of course...What would you do to prepare for your international dance trip?  WWYD (what would you do)?

Time is flying...


Can you believe it?  Only 27 more days until I leave for Trinidad.  Please subscribe to this blog for updates when I reach (look on the right side and put in your email address).  In the meantime, let me tell y'all whats new. 

Over the weekend, I received my revised Welcome Packet from New Waves.  There will be an opening GALA, Classes will take place from 10-6pm daily, and  we will go to Tobago the first full weekend that we are there.  There will be a New Waves!Commission Project & Closing Event on the last day.  

Also, I got my renewed passport in the mail! Woo hoo! 

As I count down the days,  let me hear from you...
As a supporter, what do you expect me to see, do, find out, take a picture of for you...please comment on the blog, so that I can go back to it when I am there.  For example, I would love to see a picture of Mickie dancing in class or I would love to see a picture of Mickie eating doubles...you get it..
comment as many times as you would like...
