  1. I don't know what to say either. Lou said a mouthful, I can only say ditto. I was so worried this would happen when my wifes visa wasn't there the morning it was supposed to be. I hope and pray this works out for you two very quickly.
  2. Congratulations Ai Yer said to tell you two congratulations, and hello also. It was really nice to meet you two the other day.
  3. Yehaa everybody, Sorry for the delay. Short part, We have it in our hands B) Long part, first the tropical depression that went up the coast before I left, caused severe thunderstorms that delayed my plane. It was a beautiful day where I was, but the plane was delayed 2 hours in Philly. That stated a chain of events which delayed me in LA all night. They finally made arrangments for me to fly to Tokyo and still make it to my sweety a few hours before her interview After sitting all night, because I missed the original flight by about a half hour. They were boarding as I was landing. Oh yeah, no available hotel rooms either. I sat from midnight untill the next morning Anyway They finally made arrangements for me to take alternate route. I finally got settled at the gate around 3 PM the follwing day. No food, nothing but water for 1.5 days. Every plane was late, every airport a full on run for next flight. I had began my journey over 28 hours earlier by the time I finally boarded. I couldn't find on the new tickets my seating code. I just got in line after they were seating section 3. The stewardest said please go straight over and forward . They had given me first class on United I now know what flying first class means B) BY the way it took 3 days for my luggage to catch up to me. Now, we are at the consulate. She comes down with the propaganda the sharks are handing out. I had waited on the 4th floor for quite awhile, it was very hot. I had told my wife I would be on the first floor if not on the 4th. It was nice and cool there. I had just ordered a tasty mango slushy when she arrived, frowning, shark papers in hand. She could not keep up her guise for long, a big smile, then she produced the PINK SLIP. After I orderd her a tasty blueberry slushy, it started to sink into the both of us. After a bitter sweet 1.5 years, our journey was concluding. I could feel my eye start to sting, I looked at her, hers were turning red also. We managed to contain our emotions. Now it is Wednesday morning, I get up in my old military fashion, crack of dawn. I go down to get us some breakfast. I then rousted her out of the rucksack. We get to China Post. No green EMS for us She was one of the first to pass her interview that morning. Her two friends got theirs, but alas, none for us. We were both aware that she could still be denied. We spent all day Wednesday being sad. Thursday morning after sleeping in, she called China Post. Shriek!!! Kenny!!! It is there!!! Interview went something like this. VO: Where did you meet? So: Internet VO: Your English is very good, where did you learn? SO: High school, and self taught. VO: What does he do? SO: He works for XXX VO: How many times has he visited you? So: As she handed him my passport, Three times VO: You have your visa, relax. Show me some Pics IMPORTANT They required my 2005 tax return. We were CR-1 I was under the impression they finacial was taken cre of at NVC Thank you God, and everyone else in our lives that has made this moment possible. I also would like to thank the Candle members for allowing me to be a part of this important website. B) OBXTRAINMAN
  4. Hello everybody, headed out to the "Land of GUZ" this afternoon. Wife made it there by plane two days ago. I sure hope all the little inconveniences in the past few weeks were enough to appease the Visa Gods B)
  5. Congratulations eeyore and sawadee, I hope the rest of your lives together are full of wonderful memories. B)
  6. Congratulations Jesse and family It's about time, it is good to hear you are finally there
  7. That means you are so much closer now It wasn't long after I heard those words, my wife received her interview date
  8. I believe Charleston is the capital of West Virginia. The medical facilities there are some of the best I've ever been to. They managed to keep me alive after a drunken woman hit me head on going over 100 MPH. The hospitals there are connected to the universities. After having been in these facilities, I have never felt comfortable about others. I still to this day look at the floors, and cracks and crevices every time I visit a hospital, or Dr's. office. The filth in these places are staggering as compared to the different hospitals in the Charleston area.
  9. I sure was impressed with the Guangzhou airport. 231466[/snapback] I have it under control pushbrk,,It certainly is an inconvenience after she has had her train ticket for over two weeks now. She has to take a plane to GUZ. It was just a little unexpected. I was just wondering why so many ill-fated things have to happen to one single case. I see you have sailed along without problems. I truly hope it continues that way. I believe someone had quoted a poem that was so true to this type of situation earlier. Something by Burns, the Irish poet nobody can understand, I think 231485[/snapback] It neevr occured to me that you were also Peckerwood. 231494[/snapback] I figured since I had been acting like one, I might as well be one B)

  11. By the way, my wifes train into GUZ was cancelled also B)
  12. I was watching CCTV9 earlier today. It does appear as though the flooding has killed many people, and taken out some roads and the rails aroung GUZ.Not to mention the damage to the north of GUZ. B) That would be on the castal areas.
  13. Congratulations Bob and Wife,,I am so happy for you both. May the winds of good fortune forever fill your sails.
