Good luck to you both, Cheekee and Sheina as you say it's not easy with the 7/8 hour time difference. I guess most on here have been or are going through that. Basically the body clock doesn't know if it's on its ass or its elbow. But eventually it's all worth it in the end for you guys, and after going through all of that there's just the small matter of getting visas etc etc, only for some jumped up twerp to say "NO, not enough evidence that she/he will return", if you apply for a visitor visa.... Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
