7/12: Coming home.. soon.

We are still organizing the final details, but I think we are coming home before the end of July. We've spent the last several weeks trying to figure out college admissions, and we've settled on a plan that puts us in Portland. We are attracted to PDX because of some schools, a much better downtown core and transportation network, and somewhat cheaper rentals than other school options.

So, tomorrow I'll see if I can find *someone* who can transport the bike back to the States. And since there aren't any 'slots' using our frequent flier miles to come back to the states, we'll be paying our way- it won't be cheap.

Tamara's plan will be to do some medical-related work so she can gain residency in Oregon (not just for tuition, but to increase chances of getting into OHSU soon). I'll do part-time or full-time school, depending on some wrangling with the school, and certainly full-time by winter.

Good times!

It sounds like you two are pretty excited about school! Squish and I just explored Portland for a few days and couldn't believe how affordable it is (compared to California...sigh). There are some fun neighborhoods East of the river.
 
Whooo-hoo, let's hear it East side!

We'll be glad to have you near by for some boring unadventurous state-side times :)
