Second Traveling Companion

This companion is actually making the physical journey with us to Florida, but she's also our biggest cheerleader: My mom.  I was told that it was possible for both Mariana and I to attend ITS together, without additional help, however after them describing 12 hour days of workshops, performances, activities, dances and more, who would want to?  It seems overwhelming just worrying about yourself, let alone adding another person's schedule and care in there! So, my mom is coming along for the ride.  She's also been there to help take care of kids, fix hair, and run errands when I haven't been able.  Most of all though, besides all of the tangible things that she does, she believes in us and our dream.
