Of course one picks up all sorts of useful (and not so useful!) info from this site, but for those of us currently apart regular perusal of the various subjects here and the thoughts of members imparts a feeling of comradeship, and helps in some small way to pass the time until the next meeting.

I absolutely agree with this. I'm not sure, I could have got as far as I am now without this website, infact I know I wouldn't have.
For instance, knowing others have had trouble, booking domestic flights, with credit cards etc. has been a big help.
As for getting married & visas, well, thats a total minefield.
Being able to log on here & share problems, with people you regard as friends, is very comforting.
It's a lonely old business, but it helps to keep the dream alive.
I have no regrets, about entering into this LDR thing.
