Polling the Audience

So "Polling the Audience" is something Josh and I sometimes do in our small group. We tell the group the problem/situation/dilemma and everyone gets to put their 2 cents in. Here's the delimma.....

NH here:
At the tail end of our trip, we have planned on taking a vacation to Roatan for snorkeling, etc. And for some reason, I keep feeling increasingly guilty about it: for the time, the money, etc. My point of view is that its really difficult to leave a place where I have been serving a hospital, people, and even missionaries who the money that we are spending on a vacation would really help. I am also just not really good at the whole relax and vacation thing. I mean, is it weird that I see this whole month as an exciting vacation? Even though I'm working most days and on call, its exciting, new, and, at the risk of sounding nerdy, fun. Oh, and did I mention we are in a ton of debt? I'm also probably going to swim with dolphins which (cheesy, I know) has been on my bucket list since I was a little girl. But if any of you ever watched the documentary "the Cove," you will know why I feel guilty even about that. Oh, boy.

"Ahem! First I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful followers for coming out this evening. Especially considering the rain tonight. I can certainly see my opponents point of view and even sympathize with her, to a degree. However, I have also been there the past year and a half of residency and have seen the absolute torture she has endured at the hands of our medical system. Just because you 'get used' to working 80+ hour weeks, does not mean it's healthy. Also she nor I have been on an actual vacation during any of that time. She has gone to Salt Lake city once to study and take a test and I'm sorry folks, but visiting family does not count either. Our time here has indeed been enjoyable and perhaps not as trying in some ways, as being back in the states. However I would like to add that just before we begin this vacation (Which is already paid for btw. Thank you Dave Ramsey.) she will have been on call 4 out of the past 8 days. That's right residents Q2 call. Granted she isn't sleeping at the hospital but we all know a night on call means a night of un restful sleep. True we do have a loan or two that needs paying, but we have nearly reached our goal of paying the first off by the end of the year. Not a small amount I might add. With moonlighting in full swing we are able to make a little more each month and promised our self before it started that we would save a percentage each month for fun. I say why waste another plane ticket when we are already here at the worlds second largest barrier reef. Who's with me?!?! For all those who would vote against my wife enjoying her first vacation since our honeymoon...You are dead to me. And to Trent Coker who is undoubtedly planning on refuting my position just for fun, I still love you anyway.

NH: Don't let Josh play on your heart strings. He won't let me write a rebuttal like in any normal debate. So.... anyways, comment away.
