Vaccinations in preparation for the trip.

Yes I had to vaccinate for the trip; not the catties but myself. I had great conversations with the nurse over the many times I returned for pokes. She talked about how excited she was for anyone that decided to go ahead with a dream or adventure and told me about her personal adventure of raising two kids alone, going to school to become a nurse and then deciding to be a travel nurse in order to live in different cities and explore herself a bit. While I was getting my shots and talking to her I got choked up realizing how similar we all are.This kind of thing has happened to me several times since then; at the attorneys office, the vets office, the grocery, all following the same kind of story. It's been fun and emotional starting this trip. Much more emotional than I thought it would be.
