    I want to thank everyone for taking this journey with me. Hoping that what Susan and the family is doing works to get her Visa by January. Then will be back in March to get her and bring her home. It has been a long 5 years.

    Be safe and take care.[/QUOTE]


    Guess I didn't read the early posts closely, didn't realize that Susan wasn't with you in the US. Hope the visa process goes smoothly and you two can be together soon. Wish you and Susan (and kid) all the best life has to offer.
     
    blsqueak Thanks this.

    Well, after being up almost 30 hours, made it to the hotel here in PHX. It has been an adventure, the same that all are. Already planning another trip, depending on what happens to Susans appeal in the next 2-3 months. It goes well then back in March, if not, then back during the summer vacation.

    The trip itself was uneventful. Just long. If could just sleep on a plane, then so much easier. Kept having a flight attendant flirt with me. It was all in good fun. My seat was the exit row, and during takeoff and landing, she was sitting right in front of me, and during the service, she was the one taking care of my area. I just love flying on Asian airlines. Do not mean for that to sound or be sexist, just a preference when it comes to service on a plane for a long flight.

    Well again, thanks again. Hopefully back on the road this Friday. Have to get off Safety hold first and get the truck DOT'd and since here, might as well get that E-log class outta the way.

    Heard this week, the Visa approved. Heading back soon to get her and bring her home. Will let everyone know regarding the next trip. It will be one week in Chongqing and one week in Shanghai. Then one week at home, then on the road.

    Thanks everyone. It wil not be until May that I get back over. Have two homes to sell and purchase the new one. She is retiring the end of this semester. Much to take care of before she gets here.
