Greetings friend @jlufer. It simply delights me to know that you have invested your time to read my travel story. Indeed, my first American travel was a unique experience, in a way that it stayed in my memories for as long as I can remember. Life consists of unexpected trials, plus we just need to position our chins high and move forward despite the hardships. In fact, life would be quite boring, dead, and dry if everything is flawless. There's no such thing as a perfect world, isn't it? What's important is progress, not perfection. Thank you very much for your valuable support and for keeping the flaming spirit of friendship alive and kicking. Have a safe, productive, and enjoyable week! 😊
