Today I should be writing about how yesterday I attended rehearsals for the dances we will be performing in America. Instead, I'm informing you that my malfunctioning alarm clock caused me to miss rehearsals.
Anyway... I just thought I would share some of my expectations for the trip.
Aeroplane: I expect this to be a rather long (14 hours long, in fact) journey. I also anticipate that I will not be correctly functioning at the ridiculous hour that I'm supposed to wake up. 4 am sounds even earlier the more I dwell on it.
Prices: I predict I will have a particularly difficult time determining the cost of things. There are many things to factor into the cost of even a simple hamburger. The prices on the menu boards are deceptive. There is the price on the board/menu/ticket, plus taxes, plus a tip. Although I'm sure that I will be so well accustomed to determining prices that when I arrive back in Australia I won't be able to comprehend that pricing in our humble country is so straight forward.
LA Theme Parks/Attractions: I expect to have an amazingly fun time at these places (San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Legoland, Disneyland, Knottsberry Farm, Universal Studios etc), especially because I will be with so many of my friends.
Dancing: I expect this to be the highlight of my trip. Dancing is one of my obsessions, so to be able to do it in a country I've always wanted to visit should be incredible. We have three straight days of dancing. Two of those days we will be dancing in Disneyland and one day at Knottsberry Farm. I anticipate the performances will be awesome, however, I don't think the same can be said about preparations... hair and make-up for 23 dancers takes time and talent.
NY: I expect our time in the Big Apple to be fast-paced and fun-filled. I believe the highlight of the east coast component of our holiday will be seeing my favourtie musical West Side Story on Broadway. I've seen the film adaptation many times. I expect the stage version to be different, but just as fabulous.
I think it will be interesting to reflect on these expectations while in America and upon arriving home to see if they were met.
Until next time,
Keep DAnCiNg...
