Today is Sun the 21st. The girls went home on Wed the 17th. That was much harder than I would of ever dreamed. I truly do have 4 more daughters in my life. They all left with new nick- names
Bajzhit-Slow Poke
Billie- Little Bit
Aryuna-Trash Lady
Julia-Sleepy
Rushing to the greyhound station (and I literally mean running) with 12 minutes to spare and 2 of the girls having to go on to Philadelphia without their money. Why???oh because LM didnt understand that ATM cards had limits at the ATM and oh yea I lost my DL. Needless to say thank goodness they were going to be in the states and I was able to get it to them the very next day. A little stress on the last day never hurt anyone. We made it to the greyhound sattion with 12 minutes to spare.
Julia and Aryuna were able to spend a few extra hours before their flight to Russia. We had a fabulous lunch at Roxy's famous Deli at Times Square. A cornbeef and pastrami sandwhich that stood at leasts 8 inches tall. A piece of cheesecake that was the best I had ever eaten.
They helped me walk across town to meet my niece. By the way everybody t-vo Sandhogs on Sun night on the Discovery Channel. Its a seven weeks series about the tunnel project she is working on in NYC she will be on the show we just are not sure which week.
I want to say thank you to my new daughters and let them know how much I love them and miss them. I will never forget all the laughs we had, all the things we learned and all the things we shared.
Im left to put the pics on the site - wish me luck. Will you share your trip to Moscow and how it is when you get back home. Share-we want to know.
Girls-Dont forget our homework assignments then we are going to email it to each other to make our lists of memories for our trip.
Love you all and miss you lots!

Tom- Im very glad I could inspire you. Once again it goes to prove that our great friend Raj was right. "We are the sum of our 6 closest friends". Considering he and Juhy were my inspiration there you have the fact....... that quote is quite accurate.
Juhy- the girls are going to call you tomorrow to share with you their amazing expierience that you were able to give them. Thank you again.

Mon Sept 15??? I think
The last of an amazing trip.(At least with the girls). They leave late Wednesday then I spend some time with my neice in New Jersey and Tom comes up on Sun. It has been a wonderful trip. We made it to NYC. 2400 miles on the car and not one incident. (maybe one little one) and oh yea that parking ticket in VA at the beach. Literally 12 minutes and they gave me a ticket. 12 MINUTES!
They enjoy NY but appreciated Washington DC better. Free museums, very clean city and the metro a bit more convienient. Yesterday we took the rental car to LaGuardia, took a bus that went through Harlem from the airport ( I only had Aryuna with me). Stayed around times square til about midnight.
Today we went to the largest Russian District in the US at least thats what the internet said- It was 2 metro stops from Coney Island (that was less than I expected) I guess in 1940 it was very impressive.
We bought Russian snacks, ate fabulous authentic Russian food and spoke with many Russians-OK I didnt but the girls did. It is funny they are having trouble speaking Russian- its taking some extra time to find the words they are searching for.
Saw the Brooklyn Bridge and got some great seats to Chicago. You have to love same day ticket prices in NYC. The girls were speechless. They said they have no words to express what they felt and saw. That was a great response.
We are staying at a Hostel in Manhatten-Its great a metro stop 2 blocks in the upper WEST side there are 3 bunk beds and we are all in one room sharing with Danielle from Paris however she is not a she but a he yes I was quite suprised when I realized we were sharing a room with a man- but a very kind man. This is his first trip to US he is 35 and traveling alone.
I usually write and the girls usually post photos so we will see how it goes once they are gone. This web site isnt the most user friendly site but I do like the protection it gives vs facebook or my space.
Tomorrow is China town, statue of Liberty, Staton Island (never been there). Im sure Im forgetting something but Ill update as I remember.
Miss you guys and thinking of you all often.
