I just love this!!

After lots of thinking, I have decided to talk about my trip to Trinidad & Tobago on day to day basis. I have too many photos to do it all at the same time. So, today's post is about Day 1!!

On January 23rd, Symphoni, Nia, Ashley, Kirstin, Ashlee, and I left Raleigh-Durham Airport to fly to Trinidad. We all left around 6am that morning, and traveled all day till we arrived to Port of Spain Airport around 10pm. There, Megan, who is a local Trinidadian and our group leader, picked us up with a Maxi. Dani and Kirstin were already there doing an internship, so we all got on the Maxi and headed to Megan's father's house. I really don't remember much what happened that night... lol

The next morning. we left the house around 5am to go back to the airport to fly to Tobago. (About a 20 minute flight) Once we got there, a bus picked us up, and we went for a 2~3 hour-long tour. It was sooooooo nice outside, and there were times when all of us just couldn't resist the sleepiness. lol After the tour, we were dropped off at the beach to eat lunch. (we had Bake & Shark, Stew Chicken, Crab & Dumplings, Macaroni Pie, ), and then we got on the glass-bottom boat. Oh, my goodness!!!!! Talk about feeling closer to heaven... It was absolutely gorgeous!!! Once we got to a place that has a lot of corals, they stopped the boat, and let us go snorkeling. I was SOOOOO excited that I swam around looking at corals and tropical fish until we had to go. It was beautiful!!!! After that, we sailed a little further to this area of the sea that's really shallow. When I stood up, the water came up to only my chest. They had speakers on the boat, and they blasted soca (soul Calypso) music while we danced around in the water. :o))

Once we got back to the beach, we walked around the touristy-area to look at the souviner stores. I didn't get anything, but it was fun to see all the cool things they had there. Some people may know this, but I have this thing about earrings, and I'm just going to say that I'm glad that I told myself that I'm not going to buy anything... LOL

So, I am still alive

Seasonal greetings to everyone.

For those who have been wondering, I am back at Hollins safely, and have started my Spring semester of my 2nd year here. I haven't been back here in about a month and a half, so, after being back for 2 weeks, I'm finally getting used to having classes again... lol

After seeing my family in Phoenix, I flew to GA and, from there, drove to TN with Symphoni for our internships. It was a great experience as a dancer and as a person. Below are some photos.

Zack (left) and RJ (right) Playing Pool at the house we were staying. Zack is a dance student at the school Symphoni interned at, and RJ is his older brother. They are such sweet boys. We had sooooo much fun just hanging out and joking around together. LOL

Some goofy pics. Zack is an amazing dancer, especially in Hip Hop. Symphoni and Zack had fun choreographing some Hip Hop dances together.

And some more goofy pics. I got really into the slinky while I was there. LOL

Zack never forgets to invent new moves even when he is trying to hide from the camera... And RJ with baby shades on. This was funny!!! LOL He is truly a character.

Symphoni and I both trying to get started on some choreography. I just got out of the shower, and look like a deer in headlight. lol

People we stayed with. Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Tom used to teach in GA where Symphoni started dancing. They are awesome and fun people, and they now teach at the school where Symphoni interned at. They showed us around Nashville, introduced us to some amazing people, and now Symphoni and I both have fallen in love with the city. We are looking forward to the next time we get to visit them again.

And last, but not least, this is Olivia. She is Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Tom's daughter. She is 2 years old, and full of a dancer's spirit!!!! LOL She kept things very interesting and exciting. We watched Marry Poppins, The American Tale, and Winny the Pooh together. It was fun! lol

Symphoni and I really miss TN and the people we met there. We hope that we will always have a connection with them for the rest of our lives, and that we will be able to dance in the same space again soon.
