To Spain we go!

October 13, 2021.   After more than a year of staying put in Cebu, I have the opportunity to fly to Manila to apply for our Schengen visa going to Spain for the International Hospital Federation.

It was such a joyous feeling to test negative for RT-PCR after a swab for rapid antigen test. With good company, we trooped to Greenbelt V to look for our dinner.  We ended up at the Bulgogi Brothers as my blowout for my recent promotion to Medical Specialist IV. 

Cramming for documents to be submitted to the Embassy of Spain the next day, we stayed up late but made an effort to wake up early to be on time for our 7:00 a.m. appointment on October 14, 2021.  

We were overthinking the interview because we even practiced what we would answer if asked what we would be doing in Spain, where do we intend to go and what was our source of funding.  There was an issue of our COVID-19 vaccine Sinovac not being accepted in France.  No worries, there was always Switzerland and Austria to visit as well.

We had a long brunch at the Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig talking and planning and discussing all topics under the sun.

As it was time for the party to go back to the airport, I headed for home.

Three whole days of not doing work, spending time with the girls singing karaoke, playing in the garden, cooking, biking and running.  This was pure auntie bliss!
