When you first start to work for the UN, you cannot go on a break for the first 8 weeks. Victoria wanted to go to Iran for her Christmas, but she had to comply with that rule and cancelled her trip.
But tomorrow she is going on a long-deserved holi-holiday! First, she will go to Florida to meet Carol the Ziploc Woman, then she will fly to New York City to meet the Man in the Armoured Jacket.
Have a happy holiday, Victoria. And of course, please convey my warmest regards to them both.
Update: Vic has since gone separate ways with the Man in the Armoured Jacket. I'm sorry it didn't work out, Vic. Wish I was there with you now. *hugs*
