Almost done with training!
It's hard to believe that it's only a few more weeks until I finish my training. It's getting so close that I can feel it I'm not sure exactly what it's going to feel like, but I know that things are going to get better from here on in.
The one thing that will hold me back though is that once I have finished, there are several committees that will have to review my submission that I am eligible to receive my specialist qualifications and be made an Anaesthetist.
Anyway, in that time between me finishing work as a trainee and being approved as an Anaesthetist, I'm going to travel, so here's my plans for March:
4TH MARCH: Finish work!
5TH MARCH: Mardi Gras Parade
6TH-12TH MARCH: Fly to Townsville, QLD to work for a week for Careflight, NSW. They have a major teaching contract with the Australian Defence Forces there and I'm going to teach with them for that week. Back to Sydney.
13TH-22ND MARCH: California, Las Vegas (only in transit) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (twice!) - this is part holiday, part mileage/status credit run - more on this in the next journal entry.
25TH-28TH MARCH: Port Douglas, QLD - it's Russel's birthday, and after all those years of him having to have his birthday shadowed by my work and exams, he's going to have this one in style - at the Sheraton Mirage, Port Douglas, surrounded by friends who will be joining us up there!
Originally I planned things like a trip to Norfolk VA and Aruba, but it just became unworkable (particularly trying to get from LAX to SNA/John Wayne Airport in Orange County in just three hours, so I've had to ditch that idea).
And then hopefully I'll be able to start work as an anaesthetist!
