Halfway around the earth!
In chronological order, my life changed like this.
August was the harbinger of good news.
He had been transferred.
To New York.
September made us wait with bated breath.
The visas were expected.
They didn’t come.
They needed to be filed in a different category.
October brought much work.
Refiling the application.
This time, we were rewarded with a shiny page on the passport.
Permission to enter the United States!
November saw planning.
Lists of things.
To buy, to sell, to send, to give, to discard.
December – the day was soon arriving.
Packing, packing and more packing!
Some shopping.
When the day finally came, New York was experiencing a snow apocalypse.
Phone calls, emails & canceled flights deflated our enthusiasm.
Some more phone calls and emails later, we were on our way.
Farewells were exchanged with friends & family.
December 30th – 11:35 am Eastern Time. New York greeted us with a sunny smile.
