Caribbean or European vacation

Caribbean or European vacation ?
My husband and I want to take a vacation after I graduate from nursing school next summer. We both want to go to the Caribbean but also on a tour of Europe (England, France, Germany, Italy, etc.). Only 1 vacation though. We have two daughters, age 14 and 15. Based on your experiences, which vacation do you think they would enjoy more ? Caribbean or Europe ?

If you are taking your 14 and 15 year olds along, I would highly suggest the Caribbean. I have been to both places more than once, and I found the European adventure to be much more worthwhile when I was older, because I could appreciate the culture more.

Caribbean.

I choose Caribbean..You and your family will enjoy the beautiful beaches there.
5 :
14 and 15 years olds would have much more fun in the caribbean. The islands are beautiful, so much to see and do. Just the beauty and warmth of the ocean and beaches alone is worth it. Europe is old, and very expensive, and the people are rude, especially France , Paris is dirty, the washroom facility's stink. Atlantis is so beautiful and fun.

You can, but you go where the army needs you. You may have something called a dream sheet- but nothing is guaranteed.
2 :
Not really. If you're actually an army nurse (i.e. in the army), you'll be occasionally deployed to combat zones. When you're not deployed to combat zones, you'll be stationed near an army base somewhere, still working as a nurse. If you want to be a nurse for recently discharged soldiers, you can become a nurse for a VA clinic but this will probably only be with military personnel who made a career out of it, to be eligible for VA benefits.
3 :
yes you can. line units do not have nurses, we have no need for them. the nurses that do deploy do so with CSH's, which stay on base and never leave the wire. most nurses however work in stateside hospitols. when it comes to recruiting for AMEDD, the army is pretty quick to please, and im sure you'll be able to get choice of duty assignment in your contract.

Europe? Must sees and must do's? Any tips

Europe? Must sees and must do's? Any tips?
I am 18, going on 19 and have 2 years of university under my belt in Nursing/ Pre-med. I am taking some time off and going to Europe. My first stop is Stuttgart, Germany, where I will be an aupair for 12-24 months. During this time, but mostly afterwards, I plan on travelling, via hostels throughout Europe. Does anyone have any tips for me, or any must-sees and must-dos while I am over seas? Anything at all helps, as I am very open minded and super excited!!

The Holocaust Memorial in Germany is really moving, I suggest visiting that somewhere along your trip. Another good place is Amsterdam the entire place is like stepping back in time.
