Back to the States for a break!

Our specific travel dates and details are still up in the air but we will be leaving Macau within the next couple of days and flying to Salt Lake City to visit with Scott's side of the family.  We haven't seen our adorable nieces since the wedding!  All depending on the break duration either both of us or just myself will also go to Minnesota.  Then back to tour life.

As of now, the show in Tokyo will not resume on or before April 9th.  We will get another update from Cirque on March 30th.  Cirque du Soleil and their Japan partner, Fuji Television, need more time to work out the details of the situation and some artist need added time to clear their heads before performing.  However, Scott and all the technicians are ready, willing and able to go back to Tokyo and start working asap.  Some folks are even electing to take their "Golden Ticket" paid by Cirque to anywhere in the world back to Tokyo to wait out the break.  It truly is a fabulous city!

While waiting to hear this action plan we went and visited the panda bears at Coloane Park.  These clumsy cutie pies, Kai Kai and Xin Xin, were so much fun to watch!  We're hoping to see the show "The House of Dancing Water" tonight which was produced by the Cirque "O" show creator.

Panda bears at play

We look forward to making the most of an awful situation and visiting with our dear friends and family before returning to Japan!  We love and miss you all.  Please stay tuned for our flight information.
