Thanks all - back home now (cold isn't it!) daughter in school and visa application under process at the embassy - so another waiting game, left my husband in manila with his brother ready to follow up whenever the text comes....it was so good to go back, felt like going home, we had a fabulous time - once we got out of manila - cooking at the river, swimming in the falls and relaxing with family.....i have to admit though, if the visa does come though OK I'm gonna be half excited and half terrified........All change!
