Cruisin'

Zach and I just booked a last minute 5 day cruise leaving next Saturday. We are using it to celebrate my finishing of surgery and Zach's successful match! We got REALLY great deals and also had US Air flight vouchers so our flights were free. We leave out of Tampa and head to Grand Cayman and Cozumel with 2 days at sea. We are so excited and can't wait to relax in some warm weather and be lazy for 5 days.

When we get back I'll start my Infectious Disease elective and Zach will be hanging around the apartment with not much to do. We did some apartment searching this weekend and are considering going up in square footage since we know we will for sure be here for the next year. We've looked at some really great places including one that had spectacular views on Camden Yards. It was on the 18th floor and you looked out the floor to ceiling windows and it literally felt like you were in the upper decks of the stadium. You could see the whole field and home plate. Beautiful. And an added bonus is that it was one block from University hospital where Zach will be spending the majority of his life for the next year. During this adventure in apartment searching, we've found out that Zach's status as a University of Maryland employee had some big benefits. At one place we would get $50 off rent each month and the second place offered free parking for a year.

One more week of surgery for me and I am really ready to be done with this rotation!
