Hey Duff, My husband took my son into the city two weeks ago and said it was fine. He said that there was a renewed pleasantry to the attitude of the people of New York and that everyone was kind and helpful. We always make a day of it when we have to travel into the city. This time they went to the Children's Museum and had a great time. He did say that he felt a little somber as he approached the city and the skyline did not include the Twin Towers. It's only natural to feel a bit uneasy. Ryan's levels came back WAY undersuppressed so we have to Fedex new bloods to her this week. We have done that in the past without a problem. Just be sure to have the office FAX the shipping instructions to the phlebotomist that you will be using because it has to be on dry ice and handled in a specific way. They have the form readily available in their office, but if you would like I can fax you a copy of mine for future reference. You have my email(:>). Good luck.
