.. 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

Today we flew into New York and activated our green card. From now, we are legal permanent residence of the United States 🙂
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

We are on the road again .. and as usually we are flying to New York City on Saturday, May, 31st. We’re going to activate our green card and spend some lazy days at the beach.
Stay tuned for many stories and don’t forget to leave a comment 🙂
