My First Day in America

I came to the U.S. on June 22, 2007. My younger brother came to the U.S. four years before and filed document for the brothers and sisters in his family. We decided to come to the U.S. I came here with my wife and two children. My mother and my sisters came here too. I brought books, photos, and special tools for my job. My first day was in New York after 11 hours of flying from Moscow. We had to travel to Moscow by bus to stay at the hotel overnight because the flight was early the next day. I was excited when I saw big nice buildings and many boats on the lake from the airplane window. It was a very hard day for us, because of the time difference and a long flight. Nevertheless we were very happy.
