A huge thank you to all of you who contributed with comments and voted in the poll. It was very helpful and I’m in awe over how much thought and time you put into your comments. I’ll be keeping my travel/living in the US blog at the lady dandelion. Again: thank you, precious readers.
…and the winner is…David Maliniak! I’ll contact you and ask you for your address.

I am *so* pleased to have been chosen as the winner! Thank you so much, Petra, and I will look forward to the goodies! I’ll also look forward to future blog entries from you as you begin exploring your new surroundings in America.
Best,
David M.
You’re most welcome. Thank fortune who pulled your name out of the bowl. (I’m sorry for the misspelling of your name on the piece of paper)
