Today we started vaccination for MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and varicella. Hopefully, we wont get any side effects 😉

Today The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs updated the Visa Bulletin for January and released in its Advanced Notification the cut-off numbers for February 2008.

Europe cut-offs increased by 1,700, and are a little lower than we expect. However, we have a good chance that our case number becomes current in March 2008.

Today I did the first vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus and polio. Mona is already vaccinated against that.

Today The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs updated the Visa Bulletin for December and released in its Advanced Notification the cut-off numbers for January 2008.

Europe cut-offs increased by 2,500, faster than we expected. That means our case number could become current in March 2008.

Today The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs updated the Visa Bulletin for November and released in its Advanced Notification the cut-off numbers for December 2007.

Europe cut-offs increased by 1,900. If there is no slow down, we expect our case number will become current in March or April 2008.

Two an a half week are nearly over, tonight we packed our baggage – four pieces, we arrived with two ….

Tomorrow we have the whole day in NYC before leaving at about 5:30 pm to JFK.

Good night,

No, we dont had any vitamins, just visited at 11:30 pm the Apple Store at 5th Avenue. Lots of people inside, but we managed it to place a wake up call to Germany with the new iPhone – Good morning Elke ;)))

Good evening friends 🙂

Finally we arrived at New York, the last station of our little round trip. Today we just walked through the streets and tomorrow my meeting is gonna start. New York at night is as interesting as always.

Today we had a little loss .. I accidently threw a film role (with Whale pictures) in the trash can … after 3 hours we recognized that the role is missing and we went back to the trash can to search for the role, but no success 🙁 So we have to go Whale Wathcing again.

Good night for now from New York City,

Hi Folks,

today we spent with birthday shopping at Woodbury Premium Outlets. Marco bought a wonderful shirt … when we were at the hotel later the day, he experienced it was toooo small .. so we went to Woodbury again to change it.
However, it was a very successful shopping day.

Good evening, Folks 🙂
We are still in Waterbury, CT from where we made a very scenic roundtrip to Litchfield

and to West Cornwall where one of Connecticut’s Covered Bridges can be found

After all we were hungry so we went to Black Rock State Park and made a little BBQ with great Johnsonville Brats and a little steak 🙂

Tomorrow we are heading towards Woodbury and finally to New York.
Stay tuned for the latest information from New York State,
Mona and Marco
