Hey there! I can't be of much help, but I am looking to take my first assignment out in L.A or San Diego within the next month or so and am curious if you ended up taking an L.A assignment... I would love to know if you did, how it's going for you. I am a new traveler and am a little nervous about where to go for my first assignment. How was San Francisco??? I've heard lots of positive things about that area...Thanks s

I am likely heading out west...but for sure, I will keep you posted if I make it to Chicago anytime soon! Have fun and if you need a friend to vent or talk about your first travel experience, let me know. I'm with you girl! I'm working on paperwork for a start date in late August. Good luck and happy travels:)

Wow! Thanks so much... I really appreciate the input! I was actually out there in SoCal a few months ago (mainly in the L.A area) visiting a friend and really fell in love with the San Diego area, despite having spent about a day there. I think it would be a great fit that would keep me interested and active! Any problem finding friends or company to do things with while on assignment??? I am still considering the L.A area too. Have you done an assignment in L.A.? If so, would you recommend it? Either way, I am super excited for my west coast adventures. La Mirage looks quite nice... is this the fabled La Mirage that I think I've noticed on a few threads as being home to a fun, rowdy, partying crowd?? I am cool with that... just curious though of your experience. And just one more thing (I am going beserk here with the inquiries)... I am fishing around with a few travel companies and am wondering who you may recommend....Thanks again;)

I am considering my first travel assignment in California and am curious about which would be a great first assignment for a new traveler. I will likely be traveling alone and I want to be in a city that will offer tons of opportunities for outdoorsy fun and a vibrant nightlife! I'm pretty outgoing and adventurous but I am worried of feeling isolated and alone. The toss-up is between San Francisco, San Diego and L.A. Once I get over the hurdle of doing my first assignment, I think I will be pretty fearless...but I just need to gather the courage to take this leap!! Which city will be best-suited for a first-timer?!

Hey girls! I don't know if you have traveled yet..but I'm actually looking for a travel buddy in late August, early September. I will be doing my first assignment and I am going to be traveling to California...which city yet, I'm not sure. I would really love to have a roomie though, rather than go it alone! :)

Hi there! I'm a peds nurse too and am looking to travel out to California. I'm thinking San Fran, San Diego or possibly L.A, although I think that may be your home base. I'm sort of in the same boat... trying to recruit nurse friends of mine to go along...but it looks as though I'll be a lone traveler. It will be my first assignment and I'm a little nervous doing it alone. I think a roomie who is a nurse would be a great thing!
