The Sladeks Do San Antonio!!

Wow! Our time here in San Antonio is almost over! I know I say this every post but it really is crazy how fast time goes by. I can't think about it too hard or I'll have  a panic attack. We have really enjoyed being back in Texas and getting to see family and friends. We've spent most of my days off back in good ol' Falls County or hanging out in Converse and getting to know our sweet niece.

When I actually lived in Texas I can count on one hand how many times I visited San Antonio, and with each visit I never left a two mile radius. Let me tell you, I LOVE the Riverwalk and that's all I've ever known of SA. San Antonio has so much more to offer! Who knew that SA would have better sushi than Houston? I do now! Let me suggest that if you're planning a trip to San Antonio don't spend more than lunch on the Riverwalk.

Head down to the Missions! They are beautiful, you can go inside, and it's free!
Walk down the Museum Reach of the Riverwalk, then go to La Gloria's for dinner and drinks.
The most fun way to do Tower of the Americas is skip the Observation Deck and catch happy hour at Bar 601. Do yourself a favor and get the seared tuna nachos.
Live music and wine tasting? OK! Check out The Cove-a laundromat/car wash/restaurant/bar/live music venue, you won't be sorry. You can hear ReBeca and Friends every month on the first Saturday and third Thursday.
Japanese Tea Garden-gorgeous even in the dead of winter.
Natural Bridge Caverns-It's 70 degrees all year round!

NEXT POST IS NEW ASSIGNMENT TIME!!!

How To Be a Happy Traveler PART II

Part I was the biggie. Having a positive working experience greatly effects overall satisfaction with travel nursing. In this post I'm going to list a few other things you can do to ensure you have the best possible time seeing the states! HAVE REALISTIC HOUSING EXPECTATIONS You really can't expect to live in luxury housing everywhere you go. In my four assignments I've taken my company's housing 3 times. The first was great! the second was eh, and the third was average. Every apartment we had was safe, clean, and close to the hospital. And to be honest, the second place was probably better than "eh" but the first apartment set high expectations. Those'll get ya. It'll all depends on what city you're in and the cost of living. The cost of living in a "luxury" 2 bedroom apartment in Texas is the same month's rent as a grungy studio in LA (note: we did not live in a grungy studio in LA).

MY FIRST BLOG! EEK!

Image
Oh my gosh y'all it's my first blog!!  I'm so nervous!! What if it's boring?! What if no one reads this!?  If they do, then what if they hate it!?  What if all those grammar nazis call me out on run on sentences and the correct use of there, their, and they're?!  You know what I have to say to you people?  It's probably going happen so I'm just gonna need you to deal with it!...Just kidding, don't hate me please. I've been wanting to start a blog for a while, you know, because I think I'm so interesting the world needs to know what's happening in my life  I think it's a super neat way to get ALL THE THOUGHTS out of my head and it's way better than writing in my anablog aka journal.  (I feel like I've got a lot of run on sentences already...oops...) Also, I can't just sit back and let Ryan have a blog all by himself. I have my own side to our story! From what I've learned from reading and enjoying other blogs, it'

Hello Chi Town!

Ryan and I are officially settled in our new city. We've really lucked out in the weather department so far, I'm hoping it stays that way till January 2nd. Fingers crossed. Everyone here seems to think it's going to get really cold. Haven't they heard about El Nino!? :) Oh. My. Goodness. The move in to Chicago was probably the easiest in my 3 year travel experience. I've started going through a new travel agency and our housing comes fully furnished down to the silverware-without any extra cost to me! If we really wanted to make it easy on ourselves we could've just traveled with our dogs and our suitcases and been just fine. Going with this new company has definitely been a learning curve. I'll cover the pros and cons of large/small travel agencies in another post. I'm definitely likin' the way things are going so far,  but my momma didn't raise no dummy so I'm cautiously optimistic. We spent our first two days here getting to know our a
