I'm going to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, jippi!!!!

blink

Welfy!!! Where in PA? My grandparents live in Western PA, near the WV border.

Must . . . not . . . post . . . joke . . . about . . . Anniz until I have left Montfort’s car on Saturday . . .

All right! I sense a Philly DopeFest in late January–I’ll make the trip from York, PA to be there. (It’s a lot less travel than from Oxford, England!) Wow–I can’t wait to meet the SDMB Couple of (this) Year!

Speaking of Philly, I may be over there in March.

Nothing ertain yet, but it is in the pipeline.

Very happy for you. Have fun. Have a nice trip. It isn’t Canada, but probably the next best thing…

So, New York has finally assimilated Newark, eh? I knew it was just a matter of time.:smiley:

Hi rocking chair.
I promisse to wave back to you.:):slight_smile:

Thanks Welfy.
I’m sure I’ll have fun.:):slight_smile:

Hi iampunha.
Hope I will see you too when I’m there.
And come one, what joke,
I’m sure you dare to post it.:):slight_smile:

Hi Duke.
Only this years SDMB couple,
not every years since this place started?
Just kidding.:):slight_smile:

Tack=thanks **omni-not[b/].
I’m very happy right now,
just feeling a bit lonely sometimes,
but I’ll survive.:):slight_smile:

Cool beans, guys! Where in South Florida are you planning on visiting, and when? We’ll have to have a Dopefest in your honor while you’re down here!

Let me take a crack at it, with my complete lack of Swedish:

Anniz, please bring a president, but leave the lutefisk.

Hmmm, January in DC, eh? As it happens, I’ll be at Ft. Belvoir from Jan 15-Feb 2… completely without adult supervision. What an opportunity!!

We’re going to Ft. Lauderdale, so I can introduce her to my parents and grandparents. I think I’m more nervous about that than she. :slight_smile:

It looks like we’ll be going down the weekend of 19 January.

You’re over in Tampa, right?

The new pandas are arriving today in DC, and they’ll be on exhibit in a month or so from now, so the timing for that is good.

FairyChatMom: Be sure to keep an eye out for a thread about a Super Bowl/Meet Anniz party.

BAHAHAHAHA!!! :smiley: doug, man, I see a long and fruitful career in translation ahead of you.

douglips, can’t I be the president?
I promisse to be honest at least.
Maybe Montfort could be the vice president.:):slight_smile:
ANd I’m not so found of lutefisk,
so don’t worry.:):slight_smile:

She’s got my vote!

Welcome to the US - hope you have a wonderful time!

Yeeeeeeeeeee, one vote for me.:):slight_smile:
Tack(thanks) BunnyGirl, for the welcome too.:):slight_smile:

Have fun!!!

I think you’ll like the states.

So it sounds like you’ll be primarily seeing the east coast?

Stop in Virginia,

whoops, I forgot—there’s nothing much here. :smiley:

Is there something going on between you two?:smiley:

Yes, Anniz, I’ll vote for you, too. :stuck_out_tongue:

omni-not: Umm, no. I’m due for a visit to my family (haven’t been down there since last December) and everyone wants to meet this wonderful Swedish woman. I can’t say I blame them. :slight_smile:

Silo: Sorry, I can’t make your party this weekend. And, I’m sure I’ll drag her across the Potomac at some point to go into Virginia. Grudgingly, of course.

Actually, I’m about 2 hours south of Tampa, but I drive up there for the Dopefests. I can certainly do Fort Lauderdale, though, and I know there are a lot of other posters there too! Let’s plan on a meeting sometime that weekend!

Just a little bump.

Because now it’s only about 40 hours
till the flight will leave Stockholm,
heading to US.
America, are you ready for me?:wink:
I can’t wait to go now.

But, there’s one thing,
I’m so scared of flying.
it’s over 10 years since I flyed.
This morning when I woke up,
(didn’t sleep to good either)
I was actually shaking because of this.
Well, it’s better now,
but still…
I’m all excited too,
so don’t get me wrong.
So cross your fingers that everything
will go well for me.:slight_smile:

Flying is the least scary thing about going to the States. My suggestion: get travellers’ insurance, wear Kevlar. :wink:
