The last time we made this journey, my sons and I were sent back to Italy. This should be our final trip and finally our family will be together again. It has taken six years and four crossings for all of us to get to our new home.<\/p>\n<p>We are traveling on the <em>SS Berlin<\/em>, which is a new ship, only a year old. It is much bigger than the last ship we crossed on, the <em>SS Citta di Milano<\/em> which had no first class cabins and less than half the number of passengers. The first class passengers brought large trunks with them and are in their Sunday best every day!<\/p>\n<p>Our beds are in a large room with many bunks and there are quite a few children. The boys have been able to keep busy, but I have had to watch carefully to make sure they stayed well. During the day, walking out in the fresh air is preferable to being contained below, though it is also rather cold. Many people have been ill. I\u2019m not sure if it is the sea or a sickness, but I\u2019ve made sure the boys have kept away from most people because I don\u2019t want to be sent back again. My husband and other children tell me how nice America is. I look forward to getting off this boat and staying there.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 44px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov 14 \u2013 write a journal entry about your immigrant ancestor\u2019s journey April 11, 1910 Tomorrow we will once again land at Ellis Island.
