Bonnie, Where are you from? The United States is probebly the safest place in the world to visit right now. Yes NY has been attacked fairly recently but it was several years ago and many safe gaurds have been enacted.

Nancy, I live exactly 80 miles from the US border, in Oakville, Ontario. We have friends and family down there, but the experience of crossing the border now, gives me heart palpitations. I even have a green card, but am afraid to say so. The US government has now clamped down on the passport issuance, and won't give it to me, even though all of my brothers and sisters have one. I waited too long. Just too much red tape. Bonnie
