Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 98

Today's Daily 5:

  1. That my temp job is being flexible in allowing me to leave work early several days this week to take care of immunizations and other appointments required for entry into nursing
  2. A nurse with an accent that gave her away as being from Newfoundland (totally made me smile - plus you gotta love a nurse who looks at you after realizing she's going to have to use a minorly unsafe procedure for handling a needle and tells you that when you're a nurse you shouldn't ever do what she's about to do, or you'll get your butt fired!)
  3. thankful for drug insurance that covered most of the cost of one of the vaccinations I had to get today
  4. thankful for online booking available for blood tests (since it took 4 tries to get through and 20 minutes on hold the last time I booked an appointment)
  5. chocolate with hazelnuts.  so good.

You Ask, I Answer Take 22

I'm bring back You Ask, I Answer once a week for a little while.  Check this space on Tuesdays!

Today's question comes from Tea, who asked:

Where/what would be your dream vacation?

Oh dear.  That's a terribly hard question to answer!

There are so many places I'd love visit.

I think, just at the moment, I could narrow it down to two places.

The first would be to visit Machu Picchu in Peru.  I've dreamt of going there for ages, and can't wait for the day when I will finally visit.  I actually spent my first birthday in Peru while my parents were leading a short term mission team, and it's a country that has somehow burrowed in my heart.  I love the Spanish language, and I dream of going to Peru to visit someday, and spending some time in the ruins at Machu Picchu.

The second, at the moment would be to spend a month or so in New Zealand.  One of my closest friends is from there, and will be returning shortly after quite some time abroad.  New Zealand is a country I've heard so much about, and L. has promised to tour me all over the islands when I finally manage to visit her.  I'm looking forward to beautiful vistas, great food, fun accents and conversations, time with a fabulously dear friend, and wine tours among other things.

Thanks for the question, Tea.

And now, let me throw it back out to all of you.  Do you have a dream vacation?  Tell me in the comments.
