Hi Tony W

Its sommetimes very daunting making decisions in life,but has to be done at times!

Thanks Vernon, you would never believe the poverty and conditions she was living in when i first knew her, shared a room with her sister and 3 children, slept on the floor, but allways so smart and clean, first time she slept in a proper bed was 2 months ago when i got furniture for our house, she painted every room, never does anything without asking me if its ok, has kept receipts for everthing she has bought with the pesos i send her, never had a fridge, was 34 when i met her and never owned a watch, or anything else,so sad, never had a cell phone, 6 year olds have them here, have seen her on skype almost every day for 2 years, got her a tv last week, fridge arrives next week, to me its just an ordinary small house, but she is so proud of it, cleans it every day, says she still cant believe she lives there, if you question why she has not got something, the answer is allways, no choice cant afford, just resigned to there fate, so kind and allways so polite, she is a country girl, parents have a small farm, she is not streetwise like some there, so its my pleasure to spoil her, she was working 60 hours a week in a hospital for less than £25 a week, made me so angry, best wishes, Tony W.

Hi Vernon

I don't have to tell you to enjoy your vacation as with an itinerary like yours I am sure you will. Pity you are not taking in Bonnie Scotland and in particular Loch Lomond as I have said before you are more than welcome at my humble abode. Enjoy my friend.
Regards,
John
