As Em is on Emergency at the moment, she gets quite a few days off and one of the number one things that we had on our to do list is go back to Vanuatu ... so that is what we did this week :)
Sunday we headed off to the big V on a flight at 9.30 and we were there just after 1 - and as the time zones are the same, there was no jet lag to be had. We booked a cheapish, but still a nice hotel in the main town and spent the few days we had over there going to the old haunts that Em used to visit when she was out there on elective. Much swimming in the lagoons, sea and waterfalls, and eating the freshest food you can imagine.
Was definitely a trip worth taking and I think that Em needed the break after a few weeks of hectic work in ED. We came back on Wednesday well refreshed and ready to go back to work (well Em was ... he he!!).
Today I played footy with the junior doctors against the consultants and after an hour's play we ended up winning 4-2, although it should have only been 4-1 as I gifted them a goal whilst attempting to roll the ball to the keeper, but instead laying up a sitter for one of their strikers ... D'oh!
Ah well, I'm now set for a night in with a Crocodile Dundee marathon on TV (well, marathon may not be exactly the correct word as there are only 2 films) and Em is about to go off to a night of ED (although I believe she will probably be doing ward cover which is much less hectic and means that she can at least grab the odd 15 mins break at some of the wards).
Tootle pip,
Rich
