Happy Anniversary!

25 years ago I arrived in the USA for the first time. In fact, my parents and I moved here for a three year term (my sister stayed in the UK to finish her last year of High School). It took me another 15 years to return to the US, but I remember that first day we arrived extremely well - finishing school before the summer holidays, flying backwards on a Royal Air Force DC-10, the immense heat when we got off the plane, Washington DC Metro system (a far cry from the London underground!), a black cadillac limo, and soon after... yellow school buses, and MARCHING BANDS!

Friday the 13th was always a good day. My mother was born on Friday the 13th!

Still, I think today's anniversary is worth a Silver Jubilee celebration, right?!
