Thanks all for the good wishes all!

JanaknJanet, he landed in Terminal 4, the only one that all said was good for sleeping without being asked to leave. He therefore stayed on in that Terminal for the 17-hour layover. Understandably he didn’t sleep much but he could lay down for some hours and relax undisturbed.

This morning we went on a bus ride to check out the adult ed center, and then got a few job applications from local businesses, he’s eager to start working immediately! He planned to fill out the applications and bring with his résumé in the evening, but instead fell into another exhausted, deep sleep. He’s one tired guy, overwhelmed with soooo many things at once!

Welcome home!

May you two have a splendid and blessed life together!

Oh wow, can't believe I missed this! Congratulations to you both, and especially to Nagaraju for surviving the grilling at JFK. Ick. Finger motions?!? That is appalling... poor guy.

But now you are together at last. The rest is easy, imho, because you will be there to support one another and can walk each step together.

Best wishes for a smooth transition to your new life together and a successful job hunt!

Oh My goodness.. sooo BRAVE... He just arrived.. and.. . wow... already on a bus ride to find things...

I wish him the best on the Job hunting...

if you havnt started yet.. you might want to do a little journal of the things that happen during his first few days.. little comments or reactions... just think.. to look back at that and remember what it was like..

Even tho Janak has flown before.. ( now has been 6 times) I have the video he took while he was on the plane at takeoff that he took during his first flight (two yrs ago to Africa).... I think we forget what it is like when we take these things like a common occurance.. and then when someone has never been on a plane and photographs every little thing.. I watch these things and giggle.. remembering what it was like for him.. such a treasure.

Thanks yep, we are on our toes! And yes I have written down little notes of first reactions of things... his amazement at what a dishwasher is for instance, and reactions to tasting new veggies and to the huge stores and the prices to go with them (actually, some products are cheaper than in India!). He's being so wonderful cooking for me and cleaning up also... honeymoon stage is great!

On http://www.volunteermatch.org/ (found on this website), I found a local youth org that is eager for his accounting help - it will be an excellent reference on his resume and can keep him busy while giving job applications. Tomorrow, Monday June 4th, he starts a really busy schedule: M-F, 10 AM - 4 PM volunteering at the youth org, M-Th; 6-9 PM ESL classes at the local adult school. And a number of job applications already given and more to be given soon! Pretty good for being here only 10 days so far!
