We shipped our son Paul off to St Lucia to Medical school today!!

We are very proud of him. But it is going to be a long (and expensive

) two years with him being away from home!

Things are going well already for him, as he flew out of Dulles, Washington at 6:30am this morning, and he was feet dry in St. Lucia at around 1:30pm and he already has an apartment and it is only a mile from the school!
There are 2 other students from the university in the same apartment block and the driver from the school will be picking them all up at 7:15am every morning.
I just talked to him via Skype (webcam) and he gave me a video tour of the apartment and it was a nice little place. But HOT!! He said it was about 87 degrees and no AC!

Gonna be a long hot summer.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update on Paul for those who have followed his saga with heart surgery a year ago to now wanting to be a "saw bones" himself!
Thanks for letting me vent,
Tom T in Lynchburg, VA
