Just back from touring in some great places and taking some time off to heal an(other) injury. Because I had such a great time on my recent escapades and also because I would love get to know the newer members of theWINGER dimension better, I thought I’d ask everyone a question…
I have been enjoying David H’s new project detailing his ‘way to work’ in various spots of the globe and would love to know more…
so WINGERS…
WHERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST (INSERT COOL/FUN ADJECTIVE HERE) PLACES YOU HAVE WORKED AND WHY?
Oh yeah, and what about the (nasty crap adjective) instances/places where, for whatever reason, you DID NOT have the best time?….
With the lot Sloan has up in here, responses may prove to be quite sumptuous.

Mom and I are on the Tarmac waiting to take off for our three night trip to the blue lagoon in Iceland. They said it will be an hour before we can take off. Boo. Well, it will be nice to hit the hot< water after all the time in the little airplane seat. Can’t wait!

Hello all.
I am writing you from a very tropical airport cafe in Belize City, Belize as I make my departure back to reality… no wait, New York. I have been ‘unwinding’ and ‘decompressing’ after a very busy three months of performances. This is my first time to Belize and what a visit it was. The sole reason being my father’s 60 birthday celebration, it also served as my annual ‘baking in the sun’ ‘relax my body after Met season’ vacation. I spent the whole time with my family, Mom, Dad, brother Brian, and me.
The vacation started on a 49 foot Catamarian, which is a sail boat complete with captain and first mate attending to our every whim. We sailed all around the waters of Belize, for five days, snorkeling, sunning, eating and drinking. It was bliss. The dolphins, stars, fish, barrier reef, and islands were stunning as we made our way through its Cayes.
If that wasn’t enough for us, we then spent the rest of the time in an amazing resort on the island of San Pedro, called the Victoria House. Sea side, we spent more time in the sun napping, with no televisions, no radios, no internet-e mail. Its amazing what you get caught up in while ‘in the mode’, especially in NYC. I find a love/hate relationship with New York more and more. Its the beating heart of my profession, which I wouldn’t change, but the need to get away for pure sanity is ever present.
Nevertheless, 10 days came and went, and here I am sipping my last beer as I board my flight. I do feel rejuvinated though, ready to take on my new tasks at hand. One of them being my up coming trip to Argentina to dance with Paloma Herrera and the Teatro Colon. I will dance Paquita and Raymonda, heavy work if I might say so, but a trip down there with that company will be fascinating. More to come on that.
So here are a few pics of my trip, me in vacation mode. My once a year unwinding….

The tame kind of shark… if there is one.

A total sucker for sunsets
