Coming to America

Travel News Bulletin : Arriving April 4, 2009 in Rochester, New York... U . S . A . !!!

...and I added some more recent photos that you can watch in the (above) slideshow. If you click on the photos it takes you to the "flickr" website where you can read the titles and view nearly a thousand photos from my last two years in South Korea. None of them would have been possible without the spectacular "Vivi" Park Soyeon.

Interview at the Embassy

Good News! Our trip to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul was a success. Vivi now has the K-1 visa in hand. Which means that we'll be purchasing airline tickets, arriving in Rochester, NY during the first week in April. Vivi and I will mostly be adjusting to Eastern U.S. time (14 hours difference), and (reverse)culture shock for a few days, at the Gallo house. There's still plenty of arrangements to make for a welcome back to U.S.A. & wedding shower party. I'll be contacting folks by email to get details about addresses to send out invitations for the big day...

that's in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There is a location for the ceremony, but we don't have details about accommodations, yet.

For April... Easter weekend seems like the perfect time for a family get together. I'm assuming that there's probably already a location for this already. A bicycle tour of Rochester parks is in order, so I guess we'll need to borrow a few.
Let's hope that Rochester weather will be cooperative as usual.

We are currently collecting souvenirs to bring to the U.S., as gifts, so if you have any requests please let us know. If you're wondering what to give, consider wine. Vivi's favorite is Blue Nun Merlot, but I know we can do better than that.

Vivi and Peter winter over



For me this year has so far been action-packed and filled with plenty of comedy and drama. For Vivi I think it's been mostly a lot of long hard hours at work, only to finally rush home and join whatever adventure that I've gotten myself into.

Here are some photos of us spending precious little time together.
