H Gav and welcome.
I'm with Sim11, webcams are a great way to keep in touch. Thats what I do most nights. Yahoo Messenger seems to be the provider of choice as far as I can tell, we use this as it is reasonably stable over that distance.
I just hope that the important need to talk to you is not one that is going to cost you a lot of money, keep your witts about you. Not only are there many great love stories to be told here, but also the stories of woe and heartache.
I hope it works out for the best.
Steve
