The excitement is building......

Hi all,

Well, I have booked the flights to see my dear wife Rochelyn and to bring her back to the UK with me. (£580 Me Return & £370 Rochelyn one way, total = £950 incl taxes).

Finally....................(Sorry smilies still not working........)

I am leaving Heathrow arriving Mon 20th in Manila.
Will have to get the Cebu Pacific flight to Cebu City when I arrive.

We will go up to her little island for a few days so I can meet her family and then we say our goodbyes.... (not looking forward to this, hope she doesn't get too upset......)

We will stay on the mainland for about 5 days, that will give Rochelyn a chance to keep chatting with her mum on the phone before she leaves the Philippines. We will get her CFO finished in Cebu City also, she has already done the seminar.

We then go to Manila then onto Bangkok/Krabi for a week's stopover.
I think she will love the Golden Palace in Bangkok too, I saw it about 10 years ago and it was beautiful, even though I had to go back the second day with long trousers on - no shorts allowed :-)

In Krabi, I am meeting some old work colleagues that I first met in the Oil business way back in 1977. Show my face and see if there are any logistics jobs.

Then we fly to London and settle down to proper married life.

It has been a long slog, and the feelings of loneliness will go away soon.

Now that the flights are booked, I am getting the warm feelings that I have been supressing for so long. Isn't it great to walk that long walk and watch as the light gets brighter at the end of the visa process tunnel.

Congrats !!! You'll soon be together as husband and wife

She will leave her little island Malapascua? Yohooo I miss the restaurant there called The Explorer

Thanks Penny.

Rochelyn is actually from another small island 1½ hours away from Malapascua called Carnaza.
It does not have electricity there, just small generators, but Malapascua's big generator is intermittent too!

Yes, Malapascua Electricity/generator is not that good
Had sleepless nights when I was there. Too dark and humid at night
