Nomads , the Road to Doctor, and the Condemned

Since we've been back we have been living out of our car. Thank goodness it is an SUV or I suppose we would have to rent yet another storage unit. We are currently staying in an extended-stay corporate type furnished suite. The place is quite nice but we hope to be moving soon after Christmas. Kathy is in the final stages of securing a nursing job through a travel agency with one of the local hospitals. As part of the compensation package they will include an apartment. It will be great to have a semi-permanent base of operations and to finally unpack all of our suitcases.

I haven't been able to do as much studying as I would like but did get in a couple days of review. I have finally received my authorization to test so I can now call the testing center and make my appointment. I'm shooting for the end of January. I am about halfway through (the medical school portion at least) my journey towards doctordom and I can't believe how fast it is going. With any luck clinicals will breeze by just as fast and in 2 short years I will be .......Doctor Vince. Yikes! Of course, by then I am sure we will have a socialized medicine plan in place and I will make about as much money as the Dick Cheney School for Marksmanship and Business Ethics.

Here are a few pictures:
