On 6th
March 2002 we left Brisbane to go to New York. We stayed for 6
months the first time while Stanley had his first bone marrow transplant. When Stanley got better
after a few months we saw some of the places around New York. Stanley had to stay in
the apartment for 3 months so we did not get out much. We left in September
2002 but had to return in November 2002. We spent another 5 months in New
York until April 2003.
