i had just come out of a couple of bad thai relationships when a friend of mine suggested i come over to the PI. i got there a day before i met up with him as he was due to fly in 24 hours later. i got talking to this girl and talked and talked- i was never looking for anything at all but that night i only had eyes for her.

from my point of view i guess it was love at first sight- i wasnt overawed by the beauty of asian girls- i had just survived 2 of them and lived ( just ) to tell the tale after spending a few years living in thailand.

alli can say is i was smitten but cautious- i think myrna waa cautious more than smitten but over a lot of yahoo chats and texts we found we had a lot in common in what we wanted

the rest is history- and 4 trips later here we are married with a visa in hand- and in a few weeks she will be coming here to start our new life together
