I was in Florida at the time. This was the first year my husband came in 13 yrs due to our business in Italy. The first week passed hurricane gabrielle which wasnt bad but rained the whole week. I was on my way to have coffee with my parents when i walked in their home and my dad said look what happen a plane hit the tower. Then boom another. My dad knew then who was at fault. I had the goose bumps at that moment that i will never forget. I ran to wake up my husband to tell him and we were both in shock. This totally ruined our vacation as we were all depressed for days. My mom made us the last 3 days go and have some fun but how can you...
We were very worried about flying out of Newwark on the 18th as you tended to always look at everybody...
My heart goes out to all the families who lost there love ones. This will be a day i shall never forget but i feel that we Americans have learned a lot from this tragic story and will learn much from it.

patti pacienza
