Thurs 26 Mar

Got a really good deal on airfare last night to Geneva - saved $400-$500 over what I had expected to pay and got good times for departures/arrivals with only one stop each way. We will fly out of O'Hare on Sun, Jun 21 in the afternoon and return on Thurs, Jul 2 in the evening. We won't need to stay overnight in Chicago on either end which saves some money. We did discover that Dad's passport expired in January, so he is in process of getting it renewed but he has plenty of time. I will send in the trip deposits today. I'm a little excited - can you tell?

Hope Mpls is tolerable and the interview goes well. I'm assuming we'll hear from you whenever you get a response from any of the interviews that's notable. Dad and I will come for sure on Saturday. We also want to get to Fontana to get fitted for good hiking boots so we can start breaking them in. We have 3 months to get our feet and legs in shape for Alpine hiking.

It was good to take my day off from exercise today. Three out of the last four days were heavy on lower body and my legs are really feeling it. I want to strengthen them but I sure don't want to cause injury.

I'm sure the whole interview/hiring politics is completely annoying, but nice to know you have two interested parties. I hope that when all is said and done, you find an option that makes you happy.
