$600 later .. I've got it. Doing the medical is probably the BIGGEST downfall of working on a cruise ship. Everybody has to get one done and most people will pay between $300-$700 to get it done. Of course mine just happens to be at the higher end of the spectrum. :(
Besides that, I've had a pretty great month of vacation so far and more great things to come in the next 2 months.
I've been working at Hallmark since I've been home which means the first month has FLOWN by because I worked over the Christmas holidays and now I'm sticking around until I leave to go to the Imagination on March 1st.
I've been able to go to a few Ottawa Senators games which was great - once to a Toronto Maple Leafs game (our biggest rival ... and we lost:( ) and the other was with my family for a Christmas Party for my Mum's work.
Made a quick trip to Kingston with my friend Jordan (@jordanmcintosh - check out his music he's great) to visit my friend Steph! That was a good time .. did some Christmas shopping and just had a time.
Thanks to my aunt for Christmas, my mum, sister, aunt and myself went to see 'The Sound of Music' at the National Arts Centre here in Ottawa. I have loved the musical since, well forever, and it was the first time I had seen it on stage and it was great. So great in fact, I went a second time thanks to a nice invite from my friend Alison. Dinner and a show = great date night.
Oh, and what can I say there is NO place I'd rather be than home for Christmas. Such an incredible feeling to be surrounded by them at the holidays - quite a change from last year. And this year I definitely plan on being home for Christmas again! Might go back on a ship for the new year though!
My family and I also took a quick trip to Peterborough after Christmas for a day to visit my Nanny. Hadn't seen her in a very long time ... I think she's shrinking :P
Coming up for me is a quick trip to Toronto to visit one of my amazing friends Emilie. She's leaving on a trip to Thailand so I'm giving her a quick visit before she goes and before I leave again! Also get to meet up with 2 Canadian ship friends, Bailey and Melissa. We're going to make a night of it and all have an great time!
Another trip in the works is to Vegas with one of my besties Laura - main mission: to see Britney Spears at Planet Hollywood. Cannot wait for that!
This contract for me is only going to be 5 months because I've got some things coming up in August. One, is my cousin Josh is getting married which is super exciting!! And I'm also going to the One Direction concert in Toronto with my friend Emma! We have a strange love of boy bands and basically anything One Direction.
Once I get back from all of this excitement I'm sure I'll share pictures and stories don't worry! Not that you were ;)
