Move to Venezuela

So I seem to have finally decided on a date to move to Caracas. Well, it's not like a permanent move, because I'm keeping the NY apartment. I might go back and forth a bit, depending on work. But I do need to spend some serious "work" time in Venezuela to get the books done and record and perform my original music.
It's quite difficult not knowing where I'll be living in the future. I'll be leaving NY in mid February (as nice a time to leave NY as any!). Since it's so hard to travel with instruments and I like to play so many, I had to make sure I have instruments in each country. So I have been sending stuff to Venezuela little by little. One of the instruments I sent was my Rampone & Cazzani curved soprano sax. It was subsequently stolen from a friend's house and is now missing. If anyone has any info I'd love to recuperate it as it was my favorite instrument. It is silver with a gold engraved bell, model R1 Jazz, and it's in a brown leather hard case.
I guess that's just how things are in Venezuela. Always more difficult and dangerous, but very rewarding in other ways.

Well, I'll have more to write about in March when I get to work over there...
