MY VISIT TO AMERICA

HI FOLKS
I never dreamt that one day I would be able to visit America. It was only the name of a country in my school book. Many years later , my son got a job in America.
At first when I heard that he would leave India, I felt sad thinking America is so far away. We kept in touch , through the internet. Thanks for the discovery of the computer. Everything you like to know is only a click away. After his marraige he left India for the job. His wife followed soon. Initially they had a tough time settling down, but with a lot of effort and sacrifices they managed to settle down. Soon it was time to plan a family. A cute baby fulfilled that wish. They invited us to visit them.
After a lot of paper work my dream of visiting my son ,daugter-in-law and grandchild was fulfilled. It was a long flight from India but the thought of being with my son's family was very exciting.
We settled down in a few days. Then a lot of planning was done to visit tourist spots. We saw the Golden bridge. The view was really enchanting. After some days we went to Yosemite. It was a natures paradise. A cool and calm place. We have made plans to visit Disneyland and San-Deigo.
The sight of traffic moving on the roads so methodically really thrills me. Everything is done systemattically. It is so quiet and neat everywhere.People are helpul too. I am waiting to see Disneyland. In the meantime I have a good time playing with my granddaughter. That happiness cannot replace anything in the world.
