Tickets Bought!


So Graham and I are about to start our adventure to Cascais, Portugal.  We are fortunate enough to have a wonderful (and free) place to stay for the next year thanks to Graham's generous Grandpa, Sam Musser.  We just sat by the computer drinking portuguese wine for an hour trying to decide on a blog name....we hope you like it.  It comes from a quote "Quit your job, get a tan, fall in love, never return" that Graham modified into "Quit your job, fall in love and run away" because surely we shall return (at some point).  We are scheduled to depart Dulles Airport January 10th, 2011, at 8:25pm, feel free to come wish us a farewell!

A little info if you are thinking about relocating to another country, it's a pain in the butt!  Start any paperwork months in advance and be prepared to deal with a lot of dumb people on the phone.  Just being honest!  We are going to miss C'ville and all of our wonderful friends and our family!  Please come visit! We will shower you with grilled sardines and vinho verde while you enjoy your own private quarters.

Next up, packing my place on JPA....and a few goodbye parties.  Oh and did I mention 13 more shifts in the nicu???

  2. I am so sad you are leaving - but what a great adventure you two are going to have. I will follow along on the blog. You will be greatly missed in the NICU.

  3. Hey, I think I got it and hope you get this. Just love your blog name and can only wish you the best. I believe everyone should take at least one adventure like yours in their lives. What would our lives be in the end if we do not take the time to explore and learn about ourselves. I am very excited for the both of you and cannot wait to hear about your travels.

  7. Hi Liz. It has been a long time but i am Eric Sholl and i remeber you from school. I saw your blog post and couldn't help but comment. Your idea and trip sounds amazing and it would be great to potentially run into another Hokie in Europe somewhere. My wife and I will leave San Diego in June for a round the world trip that is currently very open. Good luck in your travels. We will be excited to read your blog.
