This trip was very intense for me and O — a bondage-oriented 4 days, but more than that, a training ground and an English immersion for her.
We had the chance to stay in a room provided by a friend of Jay’s. RiggerJay is someone worth knowing — a heart the size of New York and the patience of Confucius.
On Friday when we arrived, we did a tourist tour with Dov and Jay: Times Square and Wall Street. Dov brought some rope, having learned from a past experience to always carry some. We did some bondage and suspension on the bull of Wall Street. Pictures to come.
The next day O was forced to speak only English — no better way to learn than to use it. We had so much fun. I saw Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and many other areas of this huge city. We were staying in Queens for our trip — expensive and modest. Imagine a 2½ apartment for $1,200 a month.
That night we went to the first suspension party, where we did lots of bondage and play. We also participated in a world record attempt — 11 people in the air at the same time. Parties in New York go until 4 a.m. We met so many new friends, some of whom we will stay in touch with.
On Sunday we relaxed a little, and that night O wore the kimono at the second suspension party. Again, lots of suspensions and play.
Monday the return home was bittersweet — we wanted more. But all good things must end. I cannot wait to do another trip like this one.
For me this was a very intense trip.
