Travel to USA

One of my very long time dream is coming true now. I am traveling to US tonight for 6 weeks on office work. I have been dreaming to visit this country from what I remember since my high school days. I don't know what fascinated me about this country...but I had been longing for a visit to US. The urge was more once I was married. I wanted to move to US for a few years before having a kid. But Naveen did not have this interest and was not all for it. But he did not stop me when I had a chance to visit Canada for 6 months. It was 4 years ago. Time passed and in my recent project, I got a chance to visit this country. All I wanted to visit was for short term and the requirement matched exactly to what I wanted.

Last time when I left India to visit Canada, it was all easy. Though I did miss Naveen a lot, I knew he would take good care of himself. This time its totally different. I was a lot worried about Anvith if he will be ready to stay away from me for such a long duration. In the past, I have been away from him for a max of 2 weeks, not more. But this time it will be almost 2 months and even if I want to, I cannot come in between. But I did not want to let go of this chance in my career. I left Anvith at my parent's place 2 weeks back. I wanted to see how he adjusts there before leaving and TOUCHWOOD, he is enjoying there. He has this "I want amma" bouts but its more only after I just finished talking to him on the phone or in his sleeps or if ajja, raises his voice at him for something. Otherwise, he is a sweet kid. When I ask him on phone if he wants to come to Bangalore, his instant answer is "No" and he says "Amma, you come to Udupi". In spite of all this, I do feel guilty at times for leaving him away from me but then Naveen consoles me saying its just few weeks and I will all be fine.

In a way, this 6 weeks break is giving all 3 of us, some time for ourselves. I plan to spend the weekends roaming around the city with one of my old and a good friend S (who is specially flying from some other state to meet me in California) and spend some time with my BIL's family and meet some new people. Naveen plans to spend a lot of time on photo shoot and carpentry work. Anvith getting pampered by his grand parents. So everybody has something good in this.

Just a few hrs are left for me to fly and I am all excited about this. Hoping to post about my experience there as much as possible. So keep watching this space :)
