I probably should have posted this on here weeks ago...I have no idea why I didn't! I must be losing my mind...
Anyway, I am a finalist for the World's Unluckiest Traveler 2: The Rescue...a contest sponsored by Travel Guard.
It seems only fitting considering that people call me Miss Adventurous (mostly at my insistance...but that's really neither here nor there)
I nominated my friend Laura, who had to take care of me when my gallbladder decided to explode!
This is Laura and I on that trip.
I have this funny thing where I tend to laugh through pain...so this was either the day before I went to the hospital or two days before. I can't remember. I was in a lot of pain though...and hadn't been able to eat in like 5 days.
I have some photos that Laura took of me in the hospital...I let her take them (even though I looked hideous) because it entertained her and I felt bad that she had to look after me while on vacation (she's is a nurse practitioner). Also because I was so drugged up on pain meds that I hallucinated a blue coyote. :-)
Anyway, I entered this contest randomly in May and now Laura & I are in the top 10!!! So if you have a minute to vote for us, I would really appreciate it!!

You'll need to sign up (I think it only accepts citizens from US & Canada...sorry rest of the world, I really wish you could vote!
then VOTE FOR OPERATION VACATION!!
And then tell everyone you know to vote for us! :-)
If we win, I will post the horrible photos of me at the hospital on here as a bonus prize! :-)
Thanks in advance!!!!!
