A Trip to The Hospital

This is my second trip to the Christus St. John Hospital when I came home with a baby! My toddler has a baby brother now!

I did not really enjoy the delivery, but in a way, I enjoyed the stay at the hospital. Perhaps, subconsciously, I knew when I left the hospital, I would be very much on my own, to care for a toddler and a new-born! At the hosptital, I had the expert help of the attentive nurses, for my baby, and myself. I even enjoyed the food served at the hospital (probably more so because I did not have to prepare it myself).

The staff at the hospital had really made a good impression on me though. When I had my first-born, I left the hospital in a lot of pain, but with a lot of good things to say about the nurses who attended to my needs, both day and night. This time, I left the hospital with my son's baby brother, not in as much pain, but with as much appreciation for the nurses' kind attention towards me as the last time.

A Break for Harry's family

Harry was a busy business man. He travelled a lot, and did not get to spend time with his family as much as he would like. He felt guilty that his wife almost had to single-handedly take care of his two children, who were still under the age of ten. He wished he did not have to travel so much!

He had some vacation time finally! He wanted to do something special with his wife and children. He thought taking them to another country, away from the mundane everyday life, would be a good idea. He searched on the net, and found some really interesting destinations at which he thought he and his family would really enjoy spending some time.

He wanted to spring a surprise on his wife and children. He did not want them to know where they were heading to, until they were at the airport. He just told them what kind of clothes they should take with them, and what the weather would be like when they got to the destination. Harry had finally decided to bring his family to New Zealand, a place where nature was still very much appreciated, and alive! He looked on the site for information about hotels. He looked at Hotels in Auckland, Hotels in Wellington, and Hotels in Christchurch, and booked hotels at different places he thought he and his family would visit.

Harry felt very satisfied after he had done all his planning and reservations. Being such a busy man, the site he found helped him a lot by enabling him to do everything he needed to do for the trip, without any hassle!
