How does one prepare for an extended trip that involves art, dance, music, family, and managing it all.

1. Practice.  I've spent much of the past year working with my oils, quick painting, smaller canvas, compact tools, and equipment to carry it in. 

2. Research. New materials, how to travel internationally, safely, and with two teens.

3. Location and lodging. Where am I going to be?

4. Passports and Paperwork... Up to date. Tickets, travel, air ground transportation.

5. Ground Buddies.... Ok, so the first 4 are obvious, but Ground Buddies are so important. Whether you are traveling alone or in a group, who are your LOCAL ground buddies.  It could be knowing the CONCIERGE at the hotel, or the B&B owner. It could be a family member who meets or texts when you are on the ground... Or it could be your coach and team...

This trip is exciting because we have so many ground buddies!!!

Anna (my cousin), Rachael & Devalis, the Wexford Artists, and then the McNulty Dance Family...


Stay tuned for more!!!
