Just returned from my folks, who asked the same two questions both friends and acquaintances have been asking alike.
"So, when are you leaving Gary?", and "Where are you going?"
I will now take a few moments to answer both.
The first one is easy. We have set a date in late June. We still live in the house overlooking Lake Springfield, but will be moving our post-garage sale belongings to a much smaller house just a few days before our departure. The "where we are going" part is not so easy to answer.
Let me explain.
Most nursing directors go to hospital administration for temp staffing because they needed it last week, not six weeks in advance. So then, there is often short notice between assignments.
Our interest is in the New England states because Molly's has dreamed of visiting the area museums, art and historical markers. We would prefer an area between Boston and New York City, though we are unfamiliar with the area and could be talked into other nearby locales, as long as they are more urban than rural.
Providence R.I. has been our stated preference, but that will only work out provided there is a need for travel nurses at that time. Connecticut is nearby and has been made available to me but I am willing to hold out for a few more weeks as additional positions will be available the closer in time we get to our departure.
Mum asks "So how does it feel to not know where you are going?"
"Like an adventure", I respond.
The garage sale happens this week, time to rid ourselves of all the stuff.
