After much deliberation and hours on the phone with American Airlines, the basic flight itinerary is final! We leave to LA on Aug 30, 2011. A little over a month to sell all our furniture, pack the belongings we want to keep, and turn in our apartment keys on July 17th. The final itinerary is:::::

Terminated

Terminated. That word doesn’t settle well with me. Why did the lady in the Graduate Medical Education Office tell me I was terminated and needed to turn in my badge and pager? I thought it’s just a one-year leave of absence. The department chair Dr. Galli and residency director Dr. Connolly gave me permission. In fact, I approached them nearly a year earlier to ask about the possibility of taking a year off.
