Thanks you so much for posting. You've just confirmed everything for me and fuelled my desire to have six months in America.
It'll take some planning, we're tied here in France for the moment, but at the first opportunity I'll be USA bound.
I've always wanted to go to a Boston Red Sox game so my mantra for the last year has been, "Make it Happen".
I don't want to end up in the home for the terminally bewildered, knowing that I hadn't done it and wishing I had.
