The pain of Vaccinations

"Everywhere is walking distance, if you have the time"

I can't believe it, I have 39 days left in my country. It is all becoming a reality for me now, and I am so excited for my new journey.

On Friday night I finally went for my travel vaccinations. It surely wasn't the best day for having needles punched into my arm! In total, I had 6 different vaccinations done, in 3 injections.
From the first injection I could feel my arm becoming useless. It feels as if a WWE wrestler punched me on my arm.

To make things worse, me and my boyfriend wanted to go out to dinner that night and also have a few drinks. Nooo the nurse then told me I can't drink any alcohol that night because I will get sick from having the injections done.
So that idea got scrapped, and I drank Virgin Cocktails the whole night.

I had no idea the pain I would continue to feel in my arm. The next morning I could hardly lift my arm off the bed. Today is the second day and it's still sore, but at least getting better.

Apparently for the next 10 days I will experience severe headaches and also have glands swelling up...


Did you know that Dubai International Airport has it's own Terminal building just dedicated to Emirates?

"Terminal 3"

With its great dining, spectacular views, fabulous shopping and world-class lounges, Emirates Terminal 3 is set to herald a new era in air travel. Passengers can shop, relax, treat themselves to spa treatments or just carry on business as usual in the comfort of designer lounges that boast fully equipped business centres and fine dining.
That sounds amazing doesn't it? I am so excited to be landing in Dubai soon!
