I am!!!!! I am!!!!

Just wanting to get to know some of you before we get there....

Are you traveling with dance buddies or family?
What other activities are you excited about?
What are you packing?
Will you be bringing items for the costume swap - and if so, will they fit me?
How will we recognize you?

I'll start:
I'm traveling by myself but meeting up with dance buddies old and new!
I'm especially excited about going to Xtabi. I don't really like to snorkle, but it is soooo beautiful there.
I'm packing as light as I can. Last year I took WAY too much stuff. I lived in a bathing suit. (I suggest bringing a few bathing suits so you always have a dry one to throw on.) Most valuable item - beach bag!
I will try to find some things for the costume swap... but I'm more interested in seeing what you've got. I like odd little trinkets of all sorts and funky skirts. And I WILL be buying a crochet Jamaica flag bikini this year!

Can I hear a "Yeah, Beer!"
BTW - you WILL hate Red Stripe for 6 months after this trip. It's a given.

See y'all in 2 weeks!!!!
Yippeeeeee!

      Honestly, I have not had a Red Stripe since Jamaica Raks last year. But I can finally look at one without getting nauseated. It's not like I even had a bad experience with it... it was just way too much Red Stripe!

      THTX - wish you were coming back this year..... you've got a passport, why not steal away and join us?

          We are going to miss you this year TH...maybe next year!!

          It's not too late if you want to join us, there are 2 spots left. The weather here has been beautiful and the water especially clear and warm. I know Aziza, Bahaia, & Cheryl have some wonderful things to teach us all. We have lots of fun activites and surprises planned. And you'll know what we mean by phrases like "meeeeeeaaaaat patties" & "ciiiiiiigarettes". Local flavor you will never forget....

          Oh and I almost forgot...we'll get to meet Aziza's wonderful Eric!!

          Y'all hurry, times almost up!!


          12 more sleeps...

            By this time next week Eric and I will be flying through the air on our way to JAMAICA!!! We are both very excited. He has even lost 15 pounds and has been working out in preparation. My man will be devastating with a tan...

            I`ll be bringing shtuff to sell. I have veils and hair. I also have a costume I am thinking about letting go...we`ll see if I have room in the suitcase.

            This after noon I am having a BIG glass of wine and going bikini shopping. Wish me luck!

            I can taste the Red Stripe already!

                Mooowaaahhh ez going!
                Waves at Bahaia! I'm that Kiras Oasis brat that was in Kiras bathroom with you discussing unfair lawsuits against OBGYNs ;)
                Waves at Aziza too as it will be my 4th workshop with ya. Everyone else will be a new face, and its my first time in the Carribean ;)

                I'm excited but also fretting about all that stupid travel stuff. I have a really short (37min) connection in NC so I'm not checking anything cause I'm afraid it wouldn't make it with me. Because of that I'll have to be w/o my DrPepper for the weekend ~cries~ I assume I'll be living in a bikini as well so I'll be bringing 2 and matching my wadrobe accordingly (good thing I tend to wear all the same colors ;)
                I'm going to try and work in some snorkel time at least every day cause I LUVS the fishes!! I got my underwater camera all ready and I just hope I can get pics as good as the ones I got in the Red Sea.

                I'll be bringing a few things to sell, a veil, a shirt, maybe some pants and a dance coverup. I'll also be bringing some of the embelished mirrors I've been making. Heres some pics: entertainment.webshots.com/albu...KrcXI
                If you like the mirrors and think you want one I can take special color and theme requests if you message me ;) I make them with a dance theme with the intent of being hung in your dance space for inspiration. I've got 2 others in the oven right now, I came up with a cool 'fire' one and Sheva requested a peacock one (I'll send ya a pic soon!)
                I wasn't planning on buying much as I'm going to be comming home broke as it is but I'd love to see the veils Aziza brings, 80% of my veil comes from her so she's like my 'veil idol', I'd be stoked to own one of hers ;) Bring some poi with them and I'll be doomed!!

                Don't think the Red Stripe will be a problem here, I prefer Froo-froo drinks and am hoping to score a nice pina colada ;)

                  Don't worry about the Dr Pepper...scored some last time I was in Kingston....a major coup here. I even got some root beer! Funny the things we get excited about here....we go totally nuts when we find velveeta cheese!

                  The pina coladas here are great...but wait until you have had the coconut rum with pineapple juice...my favorite foo foo drink on the island!!

                  We are so excited here and can't wait to meet everyone. This will be the first workshop for most of my girls and they are thrilled. They are all anxiously waiting to see what kind of goodies everyone is bringing to sell. We are so shopping deprived here!!

                  The water is so clear here you can watch fishes without the snorkel if you want. Just stand still and they will come say hello. The rays & skates are out early in the morning...you can watch them from the beach if you want...my preference anyway :>)

                  Only 6 more sleeps....

              OOOOOOH! Any chance you're selling the green with coins or the burgundy from your pics?

              I'll be selling some sterling jewelry from Bali, a couple skirts, and some used cds.
              On used stuff, I will trade for Jack & Ginger.

              I'm aslo bringing some IAMED dvd's with me and Aziza on them, Cairo Heat Wave DVD, and some new CD's.

              And I promise not to bore you all with stories of OBGYN lawsuits. (My dad's an OBGYN and I can rant a little!)

              Can't wait to see you all. Really, can't wait. I'm packing already!
              xo, B

    I'll be there. I just got my passport today. Nothing like the government waiting until the last minute.

    I know I'm bringing way too much stuff but a lot of it is for my mom, Sheba. She always has a list of stuff to bring for whoever is coming to visit next. But that's okay.

    I'm looking forward to seeing her troup perform. I know they have all been working hard on their routine. But I got to say, the highlight of my trip is having some time on my own. My husband is staying home with the kids. I love my family dearly but I need some 'me' time.

    See you all there. I can't wait. There are some umbrella drinks calling my name.

      don't remind me that you aren't bringing my grandbabies...

      I'll have a plus size costume for sale...I think. Can't decide. I'm mostly gonna spend money...not make it. Story of my life.....

      Oh I almost forgot...I'm going to have some big, fat, fluffy JamaicaRaks beach towels for sale. They turned out really pretty. The first 10 ladies who signed up get a free one, but I got extras because when you see em you are gonna want one. I also had a special JamaicaRaks tshirt made for all the men who are coming along with their partners and those will be for sale also.

      Can't wait to see what everyone is bringing.

      yeah mon...
