4 days in the Garden City…how lucky are we! This year’s World Veterinary Congress was held a stone’s throw away from Hong Kong and many of our friends from Hong Kong were also able to attend so we knew we were in for a fun week. What we hadn’t expected was the level of fun. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. I feel that when likeminded people are together it is easy to relax and the conversation flows. We are all vets so we never run out of stuff to talk about and yes, it may be mainly work related, but it reminds us that we are all in this wonderful yet stressful profession together, and thus never truly alone even if it may feel that way sometimes.
Not all our holidays are to super exotic destinations. United Kingdom is a fairly routine destination for both of us as my sister and Chris’ brother have been living there for a while. I try to visit at least once a year whereas Chris avoids the UK like the plague. Many of you who know him have heard him rant about Visas…I have heard it too many times and as a result the subject is banned in our household (along with religion, world population and New Zealand!)
