Hola

My love for traveling started early.  I always wanted to get out and away from my small town (not that I don't love where I grew up).  When I had the opportunity to study abroad, I was so excited. Actually, I was downright terrified.  One of my friends was supposed to travel with me, but she ended up deferring.  I managed to get all the paper work in (despite being passed the deadline) and through all of the orientation sessions.  Then, early January 2003, I was off - on my own - to Costa Rica - for 3 whole months.  Needless to say I LOVED it!

I always want to go back there, and I can't believe it has been 10 years since I left.  I need to stop saying "some day" and make "some day" TODAY!

But, in the mean time, I have found this awesome job.  I am a nurse - a pediatric intensive care nurse to be specific - and a traveling nurse.  I get the fantastic opportunity to travel this amazing country that we live in and do what I love.

I just want to use this blog to post some of my pictures and tell the stories behind them.  If people read it - great - if not, well, it's out there at least for me
