After a 3 day drive following my Kansas City assignment, it was time to take a Christmas break with family. If you love to travel, as I do, being a travel sonographer is a great job, however it does cause you to be away from home for a long period of time, which can be…

Kansas City: The sad goodbye
Kansas City will forever be near and dear to my heart. First and foremost, it was the site of one of my favorite travel jobs in that first year as a travel sonographer, working for a very well known and prestigious facility and meeting some of the finest sonographers one could ever hope to meet,…
Kansas City: A Special Place in My Heart
Kansas City, a city that lies within the heart of the midwest, offers so much to anyone visiting that part of the country. In the last post, we talked about the two big claims to fame that are so quintessentially Kansas City: an abundance of excellent BBQ restaurants AND an abundance of fountains. But KC…
Kansas City, here I come!
A funny thing happened just a couple weeks prior to ending my Louisville assignment. I got a phone call completely out of the blue from a facility I had asked my recruiter to submit my profile to, which was done prior to submitting my profile to the Louisville job. Nearly 6 weeks later, I fully…

I was embarking on an ultrasound travel assignment in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (aka high risk OB ultrasounds) after a 13 year hiatus from my first MFM job in which I worked about 8 years, with many years in private office…
How it all began . . . and then there was Lou-a-vul
Raleigh was a tough act to follow, no doubt about that. But all good things must come to an end – for now anyway. In the meantime, I am in search of the next great adventure and need to make memories in my new locale, before I have anything to recommend on my current area….
Part 3 of 3: A Fond Farewell to the Foodie City. Hello, Diet?
Raleigh, I sure do miss you. It was nice while it lasted and I have left you feeling like I have a home away from home. First and foremost, I miss the people that made you so special to me. I miss your southern charm. I miss your festivals. But what is Raleigh if not…
Raleigh, NC: Part 2 of 3 – Fun, Fairs & Festivals
I hope by this point, you are getting a sense of the extent of things to do in the Raleigh area. As if the permanent establishments throughout the Triangle weren’t enough, I would be remiss to not draw attention to the fairs and festivals in Raleigh. Throughout “most” of the year, Raleigh is a city…
