Well, I’ll find out soon enough. I have an orientation in the second half of July and then I’ll be traveling up pretty frequently. I could, if I wanted to, relocate there, with support from the company, but we’ve agreed to put that idea on the back burner while I settle in and see if it’s a good fit. ---

$ 600 a month rental. Perhaps you can commute in from Hardwick for that. You’re forgetting UVM, it is a university town. ---

I assume you’ll be flying there and back, in the mean time. One of my other most favourite things about Burlington is the airport. It’s actually a relaxing airport from which to arrive/depart. Scenic views on final approach too. ---

It’s actually a relaxing airport from which to arrive/depart. Scenic views on final approach too. And nice rocking chairs to hang out in before your flight. ---
