Though we do have a hard time "understanding" - and this is definitely an understatement - what your new Administration is up to, we are quite aware of the fact that the recent US international policy developments have nothing to do with the vast majority of the American people. My wife and I are visiting our daughter and family (Savannah, GA) this week - we'll stay two months - and we are VERY curious to have a closer look at the current day-to-day reality in a country we are, still, very fond of!

Americans, are any of you considering changing your international travel plans in light of the last couple of weeks? And Europeans, do you have any indications that Americans might be made to feel unwelcome in your countries, either by border officials or the "man or woman on the street?" I am NOT looking to start a political discussion. We are trying to decide whether or not to book airline tickets. I was born in the U.S. My wife is a long-time naturalized citizen originally from Ukraine, and speaks with an accent. Occasionally her background has led to minor but unnerving extra scrutiny when traveling. And that was before all the "exciting" new developments since Jan 20. Feel free to respond by direct email if things might stray beyond what is appropriate for the LUG. --Peter _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
