Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

Traveling with the Australian Spirit Association we had our share of downshifting with the Aussies and their many Architectural-points-of-great



To explain the rather bizarre schedule, we're a company of 26 performers (cheerleaders and dancers), two coaches, and six chaperons. The girls on our team vary in age; our youngest (most talented and adorable) members are only 8 years old! I'm confident that we will be thoroughly entertained by anything that comes our way so definitely let me know if you have any ideas. The rough outline of our plans, consists of various performances and clinics, plus a few tours with the entire program. We arrive early June 14 and performances are set to end at 1:30 pm. The younger girls have a photo shoot following; the rest of us are free all afternoon!

Dearest mates,

We traveled two days to arrive (yes, I slept almost the entire time) in one of the most refreshing and welcoming places I've ever visited. Held and fed an alligator, coached clinics, taught a guys rubgy team to 'stunt,' went on a radio show - Kim set me up for this win a date with the Texas Cheerleader promo which won me an evening with a fireman tri-athlete at a beautiful restaurant in Darwin on the beach.

Clinics are going well, Ah im still alive. very much alive! Can't even tell you how incredible it has been to be part of this ALL. Sydney, the harbour (we climbed the bridge-breathtaking) and the nightlife, have by far hosted my favorite moments. we're currently in brisbane, performing at themeparks and in steve erwin's croc pit. to catch you up a bit from darwin, the firefighter date (www.hot100fm.com.au), we ate at la beach (and were treated wonderfully) but when it was time to part ways our driver got another call so we were picked up by the firetruck (fully loaded with the guys on duty) so we made a stop by the fire house before being dropped off (in a matter of seconds - they received a call and we were thrown out). our hip hop performance that night was one of my favorite venues to date (a place called discovery that reminded me of the carnival cruise theatre - they ask us to stay for a second show and hosted us upstairs in a killer vip room. today i held a roo and a koala, and dropped from the largest free fall ride in the world (as of 1999) but above all attractions, venues, and performances, the Aussies amaze me. they have treated us so well; the conversations are humbling, refreshing, and enlightening. the kids here amaze me wanting to soak this up so badly.

We may get our first day off (yet) this weekend. i love the pace, the spontaneous calls/requests we get, the response, and the adventures. and i feel like i could tour for years. i finally got an aussie cell. Aside from Team commitments, I'm totally flexible and am definitely up for all
festivities! peace, joy, laughter and love from oz. I'm absolutely thrilled right now. I think I'm about to fall...

Daydream believers

Colorado Balloon Classic - Day 2 , originally uploaded by iceman9294 . “Some people do not have to search, for they find their niche early in life and rest there seemingly contented and resigned. At times, I envy them but usually I do not understand them… And seldom do they understand me. I am one of those searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we completely content. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach; we are drawn to the ocean, taken by its power and unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests, mountains, deserts, hidden rivers, and lovely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as our laughter. We are ambitious only for life itself and for anything beautiful it can provide. Most of all, we want to love and be loved, to live in a relationship that will not impede our wanderings and prevent our search. We do not want to prove ourselves to other

Heights of Reality in the UAE

Aside from ( double Disney) Dubailand , it is quite easy to locate a bold philosophy within the inspiration for many of the UAE's newest structures. Perhaps claims of Islamic inspiration a bit stretched with one of the main principles, "avoiding extremes so as to maintain balance and orderliness..." But then again, if you look at the region's dreams of rebuilding the future and the world as we know it, Dubai will host plenty of places to celebrate Islam's essence, which "enables man to lead a good and happy life and at the same time strengthens bonds of human brotherhood and fortifies the social fabric." I find it fascinating to watch so many levels of fantasy coming to life, so quickly. Several inspiration quotes appear in the captions below. Hydropolis , the world's first luxury underwater hotel, "where those who do not dive, or do not even swim, can experience the tranquility and inspiration of the underwater world." Burj Dubai ,
