Good morning from New Jersey!

June 2nd, 2008 No comments

.. hope you’ll enjoy the first working day of the week :)) We were working really hard today .. we had to carry some baggages with all our shopping bargains. If you want to have a look where we spent the morning, here’s a picture:

Later the day we decided to meet Mona’s colleagues in New York City, where we got by commuter train.

We went in a famous steakhouse together for dinner and now we are back in the hotel, ready to sleep.

Have a wonderful day – many greetings from New Jersey

After a 7 hour smooth flight we arrived at JFK and immigrate to the United States. We are now Legal Permanent Residents :))))

After the paperwork we went to Hertz and got our car – a sliver Chevrolet Trailblazer .. very cool!!

Now we are in the Hilton Garden Inn, we’ll take a shower and then go outside and have some drinks.

Have a good night from Bridgewater, NJ

Flight booked

May 6th, 2008 No comments

We decided to make our activation trip some month earlier because of the much lower fares. We’ll fly May, 31 with Singapore Airlines to New York City and go from there to New Jersey to have a closer look where to relocate finally at the end of 2008.
