giant robot travel guides present...
I just returned from a mid project vacation to the island of Vieques, just off the coast of Puerto Rico.
As Eric has written about what he feels worked in his favor, there's a lot I've had to learn about working freelance. Mostly it's about the anxiety of being out of work, or getting paid for that matter. But one thing I have learned is that you have to schedule things brutally for yourself. Book a vacation and stick to it and don't make every promise to everyone possible - otherwise you never get away, which happened last year. In this case I'd flown Jetblue so much in the past year I'd racked up two free tickets to any destination they fly to. Which includes from NY, Puerto Rico.
Coincidentally I started falling for this girl who had planned on going down there at the same time. So we decided to make a date of it. I've written about her enough in this blog that I hope she's not embarassed by me bringing her into this, but it wouldn't have been the same adventure without her.
Vieques is 21 miles by 6 miles. And it was the best vacation I've ever had. I'm going to write all about the place and what we experienced here, as travel is a big part of what us Giant Robot kids love and I hope all of you have a chance to go there someday. Today though I am scrambling to finish up the video. We have a final review of the edit this morning and then go into our color correction at The Mill at 6pm. Should be a long day / night.
Wild horses roam the island.
And if you're lucky, you can ride them.
