Hello from sunny Florida!

At my day job, I rarely get the chance to go to our office in Florida, as I’m usually rehearsing and can’t get away from NY. However, last week my boss called me and asked if I could make it happen as I was really needed. Cue rescheduling two rehearsals, a coaching session and a shift at my Buddhist culture centre. But I made it work and now I’m sitting in a sun-filled office in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, looking at….an interstate. Yes, very glamorous and South Beach. At least the view from our apartment is awesome.

As I was on the plane (I had intended to do all this great work that I never have time for but really need to do, but instead ended up watching four episodes of Numbers. Damn you, JetBlue and your free Direct TV), I realised that I’ve been quite lucky this year and done a fair amount of jetsetting. I was in Arizona in July with Vince, learning what heat truly means, then I wangled a flight with air mile points in September to visit family & friends in London for a few days, now a week in Florida, then home again to London for two blissful weeks at Christmas (or Yule, if you’re non-Christian like me. Whatever. I like presents). I’m really hoping that 2010 will be as good as 2009 for journeys and trips – if not better! Plans are already afoot for a Coyote Love eco-tour in the Catskills region, a show I co-wrote this year has dreams of the Edinburgh Festival and Vince and I are thinking of a road trip back from Dallas after Thanksgiving, via Kentucky to visit/meet his uncle (who he hasn’t seen since he was 3 years old), and bring his mums’ amazing china that we inherited safely back to New York. All sounds good, huh? Now I just need a way to pay for it all. Donations will be accepted.
