MyVista-World

We always try to retrieve familiar faces in our lives, it could be a smile, voice, manner anything. While being on a walk, moving across the country or world, we always get attracted to certain frames of mind as friends, colleagues, or neighbors. We can't be friends with everyone, but the hunt of finding a face instate the basic communication. Change of college, jobs, marriage moving is what we all do. However, my very first neighbors in the state was an elderly couple. The lady was friendly with a sweet smile on her face, her white cloudy hair used to remind me of my Grandma. I often use to mention her to my parents and Grandma over Skype. It was my first foreign stay and I felt very welcomed with her warm smiles. I use to had small chats with her, usually about the weather, or how I am today! American movies had made me familiar to their fire brigades, ambulances, but seeing them often raised my concern for the elderly couple. Later, I came to know, the couple has a midd...

To refresh our-self with some cold breeze far away from the sunshine state, we (family of three) decided to take a small tour of the Great Smoky Mountains. We shopped for some winter clothes, as this was my sons first time in the snow and being in Florida means you have to prepare mentally for some cold because here we don't have winter months we have only winter weeks. We started our journey from Tampa by Friday afternoon and drove a little over 3 hours to take a break. Tip- If you are traveling with small children I will advise to search and be prepared in advance for your stops and if you have time search for some outlet near highways or shops like IKEA, Walmart because here kids can easily stretch their legs and you can grab some snack and can freshen up too, so its a kind of win-win. After driving for 6 hours, we checked in at Marietta, GA. Next morning we had our go-to breakfast and drove straight for 4 hours to reach our first destination, Cade Cove loop at Tennessee...
