Yeah, I have been thinking of that as well. I have several options, it
seems. I am going to check out rental places next week, and maybe
thrift stores as well. I might need a 2nd large platter, which I am
thinking I could either rent, or get from a thrift store. Then turn
around and use your idea of donating them back.

Not sure where I will be going next. I probably am heading back
towards California for a few weeks, or maybe even an assignment there.
After that, I am really wanting to go to CO for an assignment. There
seem to be some NICU needs there.

It was nice coming east for the holidays, but I think I am a western
girl at heart.

For any RFC'ers along the route, I am more than likely going back to
the west coast by way of the "southern" route, along I-10. I will be
heading down the east coast via way of I-95, then connecting with
I-10. I don't feel like dealing with snow and ice on my way back
west, so that seems to be the most feasible solution. I am thinking
of spending a few days in New Orleans to feast, then on my way again.
If anyone wants to get together, who is on my way west, let me know.
I won't be leaving for the west coast until the end of January, or
first of February.
