Activities for Long Term Visitors to the USA
When family visits from halfway around the world, they stay for as long as possibleâsometimes for months. Staying for a longer time might be because they canât afford to travel back and forth, or because they want to help out with a new baby or other major life change, or they simply miss you and want to spend as much time as they can with you.
After catching up with relatives from out of the country, however, most people eventually run out of vacation time and have to return to work before their guests return home. Isolation by staying at home alone is not healthy even for older adults. What can your long-term guests do while you are at work and the kids are at school?

Like many Chinese-Americans, I have an extended family spread over several countries. Hence, family get togethers can be a costly affair! Being a frugal person, I love the challenge of finding the cheapest way to travel and visit my family.
Chinese New Year in San Francisco
First, get the dates right! The Chinese year is on the lunar cycle, so this year Chinese New Yearâs Day is February 19, 2015. In San Francisco though, the festivities happen over a period of three weeksâbefore and after Chinese New Yearâs Day. Your Chinese New Yearâs experience could begin as early as February 14, and then end with the largest Chinese New Year Parade outside of Asia on March 7th. This gives you a big window for your trip so you can shop for better prices on airfare or hotel packages.
