[NAGDU] Planing to travel to the U. S.

[Dan Weiner]

and good luck to my friend, Bianka, when she tries to get a cab and they 
refuse her access and drive away--sad smile, I hope that doesn't happen, 
but it still happens to many people and enforcement seems never to take 
place.


But seriously, I hope you'll have a great time here and do whatever it 
is you want to, whether business or pleasure.

Cordially,

Dan
