wellp, adriano's flight from tirana leaves in about 14 hours and i can feel his nervousness from across the ocean!! poor baby has never been on a plane before...what an event it will be!! lol he told me that yesterday his sister was crying hysterically when they said goodbye, i feel so bad for stealing him away

at the same time, though, im really really really excited for him to come here...my house is clean, and ready for his arrival, i even bought him toothpicks (which i never use), because i know he likes them what a random item!!

well my sister is picking him up at the jfk tomorrow at 2pm...i will be at work, and the two of them dont have a common language...should be quite interesting indeed!! lol im so excited for him to finally see my city!!

Thank you!! Yea, I had him fly Alitalia so at least he can understand some of what is going on (he doesn't speak English yet)...I'm sure that he will be fine, but I am like a nervous mother here!!

I'm sure he'll do well! He has so many changes to look forward too, which I am sure will be exciting and overwheming all at the same time. But, he'll have you to help him through all of it and together you'll make the adjustments!

Make sure you join us in the thread Jeraly started in the Moving Her & Your New Life in America forum - July 2007 K1 Filers! A bunch of us post there now to keep in touch, discussing any and everything!

I hope the flight and everything goes amazingly well for you guys!

my first flight was at nineteen, alone, from Sydney to Frankfurt (almost the full twenty-four hours), to meet a penfriend I had never met before

upon arrival my baggage was stolen; within a week I had broken my ankle

seemed like a disaster when it happened - but for ages (and even at the time) I have felt I wouldn't change a thing; quite apart from bringing me right in close with the family, who are STILL great friends of mine almost seventeen years later, all of that taught me such resilience... you don't get through all that on your own, in a foreign language, with virtual strangers, and not learn some pretty decent coping skills

PS Marta, you're ribbing me about not being packed?! girly, I've been packed for months - the stuff stacked in the basement, that is - and for the rest - well, I've got more than a month

what an experience!! very, very true about the coping skills though

[StillThePrettiest 4]

oh, I know... I remember a very specific moment, lying awake the night after breaking my ankle, feeling all distraught and thinking I'd have to go home, when I just decided that I was NOT going to go home; I was going to stay, and make it all work... I sometimes wonder if that was one of the defining moments of my life

of course, I then had to call my poor suffering mother... which was an adventure in itself, as this all happened in what had until very recently been East Germany, and there weren't any phones

I think I said something like 'I've had a few more problems...' and her 'yeeeeessss...' was very guarded all of a sudden
