Kos and my Idiocy

Well I have been here in Kos for 12 days now and have been taking the time to relax. We have been going to the beach and pool getting a good colour. Happy days! We went on a boat trip last Friday, now I would have had pictures of the day out but we got hassled out the door 3 hours before the boat actually left by a certain mum who will not be named. Haha! So we are planning on doing it again this Friday as it is a good day out and its a good chance to be a Pirate, Arrrrgh!!!!

Vahri is still adamant on going horse riding, so it is booked in again for tomorrow as it was cancelled the first time we tried to go. Not 100% wanting to go, not really wanting to go at all, but will see how I feel tomorrow, and if there is a group going out Vahri has said that she will go alone with the group and I will just head to the beach or the shops for a wander to the pass the time. Will let you know what I decide next time.

It is getting really hot here, today I saw the temperature gauge getting up to about 38 degrees celcius, but I guess I will have to get used to it again for when I go over to Florida since I am going in the height of summer so it will be super hot. So going back to working in the heat and having to wear full length clothes will be an adjustment, but I have done it before so I will be able to do it again, plus the bonus is that because I am working in Merchandise I will mostly be inside and the Americans do love their Air Conditioning. I may even need a jacket or cardigan to handle it, doubtful but it may have to be an option.

Now for the Idiocy part, I am not exactly sure what I done but the other night I was lying in bed and I woke up with a pain in my eye, so I have either scratched my eye or hit it off the bedside unit in my sleep. At first I thought I maybe got something in my eye so I got up and checked it in the middle of the night, but no luck, so I went back to sleep but not for very long. I woke up early again but this time the pain was a lot worse, got my mum to check it but still nothing there, so it must be scratched. Got some eye drops and ended up staying in all day, sleeping in a dark room most of the day to give the eye a rest and then when I woke up I sat like a pirate all day with a towel with ice in it wrapped round my head and eye like an eye patch, what a pretty picture that was. During the day it did get gradually better, and this morning when I woke up it didn't feel like I  had anything in it which was a big bonus, so today I ventured out in the sun, still had the eye shut in the sun as it is still tender. The eye drops that my mum got me don't seem to be helping much, they seem to be making my eye blurry but my mum insists that it will help, guess I will just have to wait and see.

On another note, a fresh batch of fellow CRP's travelled out over the weekend, which got me thinking, its only 54 days til I leave and to be honest it can't come soon enough, I just can't wait to get over there and start this journey, and to meet up with all the people that I have already met and also to meet the ones that I have only spoke to online as I know that we are going to have lots and lots of fun Disney times as we are all as big Disney freaks as each other.

We thats all folks.

Visa, Kos and other Stuff

Well a few days ago I got my Visa papers through and was checking in work when I would be off and trying to plan when I would be going to book it, have decided to go to Belfast instead of London as it is going to be easier, cheaper and a lot faster. So I checked my schedule and was hoping for the 30th June but when I called the visa number the 1st available date was later, so I have got the 14th July at 10.45am. Once I had that booked I booked the flights over,  so in the space of like 20 minutes I spent lots and lots of money :( but it has to be done. So once that is done all I think I have to do will be pay the fee thing and then pack, it is just flying in now. 61 days til I fly!!!! Woohoo!!!

So I have been in Kos now for 5 days and having lots of fun. Have been to the beach, in the sea, built a sandcastle and was invited to a 5* hotel for the day so had a fun day there. Vahri has roped me into going horse riding on Thursday, not amused! Will have to just wait and see how it goes. We are then going to go on the 3 island cruise next week. Have been looking into other things that we can do but so far we are at a loss. Still got plenty of time to decide what we are going to do.

That is all that I can think about just now, must be all the sun and fresh air messing with my head. :)
