Hi Everyone,

My answer to this "how long in America" poll:

Been in the USA: 3+ years, also married for 3+ years

How many times visited my former home country (Canada) since I've been in the USA: 10-20 times, for various reasons. Lol..I've lost count exactly, as we've made so many trips over the years, since where I live at home now in the USA is only a few hours away from my former Canadian home...."Why am I going through immigration process for that short distance of a move?", I wonder at times....Sigh...so close, yet so far.....

Nevertheless, my home now is in the USA, and I don't think I'll be moving back to Canada anytime soon.....

Ant (Home in the USA, frequent traveller back to former home in Canada...)
