The US Presidential election in the news for so long 13/11/2016

has awoken in me desire to visit America again.My husband used to say that the Yanks are the most generous people in the world.He always held them in the highest regard and several times visited the country alone when I put my foot down and refused to fly.He loved Chicago.Both of us had permanent visas to visit the country but once my passport had to be renewed I did not apply for another such visa and maybe now the situation with visas is different anyway.The cruise to New York on the Queen Mary for the 4 July celebrations just over four years ago was the most wonderful experience not only because I sailed on one of the most iconic ships ever built,but because I fell in love with New York.The four days there or was it five, were far too few and it is my dearest wish to visit this beguiling city again for a month at lest and of course Philadelphia and New Jersey.[Bruce Springsteen,whose most excellent biography I have read without wanting to put it down,the best biography I have read for a long time.and apparently he had no ghost writer,lives in New Jersey.]The next year when all my responsibilities are dealt with and disposed of, I will sail to New York again.My heart is jumping with joy when I just think about it.Oh,my itchy feet.I must organize a little cruise.Canary Islands and a bit of sun? Heaven.
