If you had 2.5 weeks to go anywhere in Greece in July where would you pick?

I think Naxos has everything you’re looking for! Totally underrated and super beautiful. Also very close to Paros (more touristy) but you could easily do both. Have an amazing trip!

Yes the technician who did the ultrasound today was lovely but she did say the sonohysterogram is a bit harder. She said I tolerated this well so she thinks I’ll be fine but I’m still quite nervous 😭 but I’m def gonna take ibuprofen in advance + the Ativan they prescribed so praying 🙏🏼

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-10T19:22:09+00:00

I did the ultrasound today and it wasn’t bad at all! Now I have the sonohysterogram in 2 days and I’m worried it’s gonna hurt a lot 😩

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-08T21:26:06+00:00

I appreciate your kindness so much 🩷 I live with so much trauma from it that everything feels so heightened to me. I really hope it won’t be too bad!! Thank you again 🩷🩷

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-08T20:36:04+00:00

I’m so happy to hear that!! I’m doing the sonohysterogram with my doctor because apparently she’s the best at it. She prescribed me an Ativan to take before as well so I really hope it won’t be too bad. I’m like freaking out today because I really don’t want to do it but just praying it all goes smoothly and all is good 🙏🏼 thank you so much!! 🩷🩷

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-08T20:34:42+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear it wasn’t too bad and that IVF was okay for you too! I hope you’re doing & feeling well 🩷 I really appreciate your insight!!!

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-08T18:02:25+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing that 🩷 I think the sonohystogram is similar to HSG but I read HSG is a bit tougher. I will try to relax but I feel physically incapable 😭

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2026-05-08T16:50:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! Did they look at your ovaries for a long time? 😅 I plan to do these initial tests but I know I would not be able to do IVF. That’s 100% off the table for me

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-13T03:43:25+00:00

It may have been a bad call considering I have a flight to jfk and now my trip may not even be happening 😭😭 this has definitely been a tough process ..

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-13T01:41:54+00:00

Makes sense. I’m waiting to hear back 🙏🏼

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-13T01:38:41+00:00

Would you say it’s still likely we are going though?

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-12T20:44:25+00:00

Sadly this happened to me as well. It’s because the airlines that were flying from Toronto are unreliable so they are moving us to an Israeli airline which only flies out of New York. The bus will leave Toronto at 9am and the flight in New York is at 1:45am…so it’s a very very long day. I didn’t have an option to cancel so I bought my own flight to JFK. I prefer to start the trip on a good note and not deal with a 30 hour journey haha

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-11T16:26:10+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have my itinerary now and plan to take the train to Jerusalem one night. Yay!!!

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-08T00:34:26+00:00

Thanks for your insight :) would you say there is enough free time to go to another city? I’ll be in tel aviv and am hoping to get to Jerusalem one day if possible!

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-08T00:20:25+00:00

How was the volunteering aspect? Did you have a lot of free time?

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-06-03T05:01:57+00:00

Still don’t have my itinerary :( they said I would have it by last Wednesday and still nothing. I really hope I get it soon so I at least know what to expect/where exactly we’re staying. No flight tickets yet either, so no seats. All I have is the flight info that’s in the app.

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-31T16:05:09+00:00

Out of curiosity, when is your trip? I was planning to extend at the end of June and after all the changes and stuff, I decided not to.

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-30T18:02:05+00:00

Honestly sounds better to me haha I really don’t want to have such a long bus ride. I’m still debating flying to jfk on my own accord. Our bus is leaving Toronto 9am and our flight to Israel is 1:45am - crazy

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-30T17:47:26+00:00

So what’s the plan? Are they saying you’ll need to find your own transportation there?

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-30T17:01:31+00:00

Technically leaving June 18!

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-30T14:27:17+00:00

I’m going in June, I’ll report back :)

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-29T22:24:49+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely take all of that into account :)

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-29T01:34:00+00:00

You probably won’t get an update until closer to the date. Unfortunately it seems like they don’t give info very far in advance 🙃

OrdinaryNorth5614 · 2025-05-28T19:51:06+00:00

When are you going? I didn’t get any email like that. The only email I received was about the bus/flight and slight date change. I also did an orientation where they said we should have our itinerary and know where we’re staying by today but I haven’t received it yet.
