I have been in the US of A for the last four weeks and just got back yesterday.  My husband and I had gone to see our newest grandchild and to be of whatever help we could.  We hadn't planned that we would be going again this year, when we returned from there last summer.  But then a new grandchild is a perfectly good reason to make a trip, even such a long trip as the one to the USA :-) .  We had a lovely time naturally, and enjoyed the grandchildren.  We do hope we will be able to go again in another 2 years or so and maybe in summer, so that we get to experience some of the fun things that happen then.
