Also, thanks for your input. I didn't mean to jump on you in my previous post. I didn't know that any AME can take this on. All I've had are people telling me ''work with AMAS -- worth every penny.'' Only now am I learning that there are alernatives -- though it might be a bit late in the game for that. Nothing's final at this point.
When I said ''nothing to enjoy'' I meant that this isn't going to be a paid vacation. I stop getting a paycheck in about 6 weeks and I still have no idea what I'm going to do for income. That's all I meant by that comment.
