"When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay I want be there in my cittayyyy
Ooh, ooh" - Journey
We are excited to announce our first placement is in...... San Francisco. Well, across the bridge in Oakland. Jon will be working at a children's hospital in Oakland and we will be living in Berkeley, but we will be just across the bay from San Francisco.
Our journey will begin on October 14th as we pack up and head west. You know, it's only 1,734 miles from DFW to the hospital. I know you are thinking we are crazy for driving 1 day 1 hour and 22 minutes (per the map), but we figure driving to our destination is part of fun.
Jon is nervous about the drive because I am not a fan of driving long distances. Don't get me wrong, I am all about road trips. In fact, I love road trips because cars are just one of my favorite places to sleep. You see the problem lies with my super power, as Jon likes to call it, of sleeping anywhere and everywhere. So I will need some good recommendations for a road trip play list, a couple of good audio book and for my girls to have their phones ready in case I get drowsy and need to chat.
As pumped as we are about having our first travel nursing destination set in stone along with our housing while we are there, we have so much to do before we leave. Our list includes packing up our house, having a garage sale to downsize, finding a storage unit and moving in to it, going on vacation to the beach for a week (tough life, I know!), and tying up all the other loose ends that my mind will not even let me think of at the moment.
And for now I will leave you with the complete song, by one of my Mom's favorite groups, Journey:
