Re: [OM] Trip to the US?

Suggest that you re-direct your attention to Canada. Definitely a safer 
place and with no less attractive scenery.

Down south you stand a good chance of being shot up on the streets 
............. they have big shoot outs almost daily and today was no 
exception; 13 shot and killed in a not so quiet town in upstate New York.
