Helena was in the states a few times, she is much travelled, though not as much as Fran. She used to have to go on family holidays with the people she worked for. I can't remember the cities she was in, they went to I know she was in New York, Florida and Indianapolis, but only because they were bad, funny and weird trips, in that order,the last time they were there (post september 11) they kid were the only non nationals on a couple of internal flights and for this reason they kept getting searched, Helana said it was very embarassing, in the last airport a security gaurd was very rough with the 3 year old, woke him by dragging him out of his pushchair by one arm and yanking off his shoes with the other and telling him to shut his mouth, when he cried, Helenas boss got mad and told the gaurd to please not manhandle his son, and he was told if he didn't keep quite he would be arrested, strangely enough she wouldn't go back to the states because of that.
