Trying to find a place for me to jot down my thoughts after we experienced Viola’s Room in New York. My sister and her partner got us tickets initially to Life And Trust (also by Punchdrunk), but that theatrical experience shut down. So they pivoted and got us tickets to Viola’s Room, which was very interesting! We all loved Sleep No More from Punchdrunk when we experienced it 2 years ago, so this was a very thoughtful gift! A note of warning though: Sleep No More and Viola’s Room are very different immersive experiences. Viola’s Room is a linear, guided adventure, whereas Sleep No More was a freeform theatrical experience. Now let’s get to focusing on Viola’s Room! Last warning: full spoilers ahead.

Puerto Vallarta: 10 Years Later
It’s so weird to go back to a place you thought you’d never visit again! Not that we dislike Puerto Vallarta by any means! It’s just that when S and I came 10 years ago, we thought we’d explore other parts of Mexico if we were to return.

After making it to Santorini after our weather-based flight delays from the night before, we landed at the Santorini Airport at 6:40AM. Angelo (our point of contact for the hotel we were staying at, who had been talking to us the night prior as we updated him on our flights), had arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport. We were more than happy for that arrangement and it meant we wouldn’t have to fight the other folks getting off the plane for a taxi. It also felt fancy to walk out and see someone holding a sign with your name on it 😝
