My goodness, it’s been a busy week. I was hoping to have more time/internet connection to blog while in USVI, but the circumstances were not quite there!

It was an amazing experience, both personally and as co-director of our little band. Hank and I learned a lot, very quickly, about how the islands work and what we need to do for our next tour down there (yes, there’s already tour #2 in the works!) to make sure we all come back with a healthy bank balance, as well as the great stories we have (and inevitable in-jokes to annoy everyone else with). Most of all though, I have incredible gratitude for the people we met on St. Thomas and St. John, who were strangers for only a few moments before they extended their hand and helped us in ways we couldn’t have imagined. We were so protected and supported and for that, we are incredibly appreciative.

I’m going to start compiling a few blogs with more detail about the tour, complete with photos (most of which I will steal from our merchandise maven, Julie, as I was usually too busy, too tired or too lazy to take a lot) of us performing and enjoying a few moments of relaxation.

Now I’m back in chilly New York, temping in a financial office less than 24 hours after leaving the warmth of the Caribbean. After catching up on lost sleep,  I’m going to be energized to do even more amazing things this year. This won’t be the last awesome trip I take in 2011!
