My trip to the U.S, on Oct.2-Nov.2nd

 It was with some anxiety that I left for the States on Oct.2 because of the Covid and also because of my health. But everything went smoothly as  I could use the wheel chair assistance. Hence I didn't  have to stand in long ques. Also the use of the lounges in Kochi, Delhi was also helpful in lessening the burden of the travel. Jogy came to the Newark airport to pick me up when I reached the airport in the morning. The stay was comfortable, although the weather was turning cool. Since I carried a blazer with me, it turned out to be OK. The primary purpose of the visit  was to go to Florida to bless the new homes bought by Jogy and Sajan. We decided to go to New Hampshire  to see the color change of the foliage. It was beautiful being  there  before they they all turned dry. We could capture the beauty of the color change at Nashua. We stayed at a hotel there and walked around the place the next day , seeing the places where the color change was prominent. 

The Florida stay was very enjoyable as the weather was perfect. We could go to  the nearby church early in the morning and have breakfast outside. After staying there  for around three days , I left for Washington DC. My travels by domestic flights went without any hassle as I used the wheel chair assistance. Stayed at Ittyrachan's house. He  took a few days off so that we could spend time together. We went for sky line drive the day after my drive. the next day , went to the Shrine and participated in the noon mass there. the time spent in the crypt church and the penitence room was very spiritually uplifting. Had a few pictures taken outside the Shrine beside  the CU's Stone marker.From DC went back to NJ for a few days more and left from JFK airport to Delhi.
