NYC. Sometimes I feel that half the city is RUB. Everywhere you go someone is speaking Russian.

If you are going to go up to an observation deck, I would recommend the Top of the Rock (in Rockefeller Center) as opposed to the Empire State Building. Yes, it's a little lower, but there are numerou

Near Toledo Ohio. There is a large population of RUB in Detroit and Cleveland which are not far from here. All the Russian stores, churches ect. Houston sounds great to and it's warm there which I'm sure she would like very much!:)

Palm Beach Gardens- South Florida.

My girl should be here in next month to 6 weeks. There seems to be quite a significant RUB population between Palm Beach Gardens and Miami. If anyone is coming this way for vacation, please look us up.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

Detroit, that's pretty close to here. I see the POE was Detroit and wanted to ask you how it was there? After going through JFK Saturday and seeing the visitor's line I am really thinking of getting a flight that goes direct to Detroit and have that be her POE.

Only our experience, Lena told me that tamoshna in Detroit thoroughly went through her two big suitcases. She was pissed that the officer went through all of her underwear. That's all. Total time at Customs in Detroit was 30 minutes. Go through Detroit, you are close to home. Good luck and keep in touch.

There used to be a clothing outlet in Warren. Is it still there? I haven't been to Warren for a long time but I am not all that far away. Beaver Falls is where I am at exactly which isn't much bigger than Warren.

A choice of Buffalo or Boston seems a bit strange to me. Buffalo used to be almost a second home to me ages ago and I do like the place but comparing the two strikes me as close to saying I am going to take up a new profession and either plan to be a taxi driver or a brain surgeon. Buffalo being the taxi driver. Both are a little snowy for my tastes but Boston seems like it could be a cool place to live. If I ever decide to move I would want it to be a little further south than I am right now.

Small world running into someone who's been through this town. Though still a surprise when I read Dale Carnegie's Win Friends book and see the town mentioned as well. As for the outlet you might be talking about the Blair Outlet that use to be on route 6, but it's been closed down for quite awhile now. I'm sure if you were to return up here you would see quite a bit has changed. A few buildings knocked down, Northwest Savings Bank Expanding, and a new parking garage with waterfront housing next to it. There is the walmart as well, and a plaza located there too, and we just recently had a Sheetz open. Also our bath salt community is doing some expanding too =X

As for Buffalo vs Boston, you are right that there is quite the difference between the two. Buffalo does have its charms, but definitely isn't as talked about as much as Boston. Boston seems to have a lot of cultural things going on, and of course the sea (one thing I miss from growing up in South Carolina). At some point in time we will move toward warming weather, but for now we'll stay up in this area while she finishes out her Education and gets a taste of the northern life.

30 minutes is not bad at all. Yes I'll bet she was upset about him digging through her panties!:) Thanks I will keep in touch!:)
