I think you missed out there Kawa, if you left the NHS and rejoined later you could have taken the opportunity (sorry money!!) and broadened your horizons. I'm glad that I did, as I mentioned before, I went to Jordan. I was offered a job in Riyadh but there was more "freedom" in Jordan so I went there. There was so much to see and do. I have a wry smile when I see travel programmes on Jordan and think that I got to "do" it for next to nothing.
