Just to let u know that i arrived safely in the US. My POE was houston, it was so easy and simple.

I am with my hubby now and we are sooooooooooooo happy.

Once again, thanks to you all for your words of encouragement, advice, tips and shared experiences.

The journey is not over yet but the great and most important thing is that we are together now.

Hi Urch!

A warm welcome to the United States. I hope it's warm where you are. After you're settled in, I hope you'll stay in touch and tell us about adjusting to life in the US. Maybe you'll be so kind as to give some advice to those of us 'pulling up the rear' .

Okay, it looks like you're about 10 degrees warmer than Atlanta today. (56 vs. 46)

I know that doesn't make you feel much warmer, but here's some 'get adjusted' advice I can give to go along with it:

• Add some layers to your wardrobe. Invest in some long johns which I see at Walmart, Target and even the pharmacy. This of course means all your outerwear will have to be a size bigger to accomodate the 'clothes.'

• Warm your head up with a hat! Skull caps don't always make you feel so pretty when you're a lady, but they help keep you warm and healthy.

• Make lots of egusi soup. Send some to Pman's wife; she loves it so much! Again, just keep buying bigger clothes...

It takes about a year to get acclimated, but those tips should help in the interim.

Welcome to America

My husband just arrived and he is fussing about southern California weather. I bought some things ahead of time. He is learning about keeping his core warm ( thanks to an Eddie Bauer down jacket ) and the heads, hands and feet. I hate to think of what is will be like by March. From what others say the summers here are hotter than Nigeria but less humid so I image I will hear him talk about the heat in 9 months.

Hi there!

Hubby is here??? CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I hear it takes about a year to acclimate, so hubby should be 'almost fine' in 9 months. . . unless it happens all at once .

Plus, so much of life in the US is climate controlled, the heat probably won't be as much of a factor as it is in Nigeria.

Hopefully he will enjoy the little heat he experiences.

Be well all.

Happy New Year!

Mmm, egusi! You'll be fine Urch... Heat the core, head, hands and feet like NigeriaOrBust says.

I hope you keep a journal while everything is still new and exciting.

After a while, I'm sure you'll be so settled, things will be just regular-life-as-usual.

I intend to do the journaling and scrapbooking for Pman as I'm sure he will not do either
