Float like a butter fly, sting like a bee, watch out boys, it's a third trip for me.
The last two years have been rather difficult. First Peggy was turned down for a fiance visa, then my store went out of business, and finally my regular job for my benefits cut back and I found myself with an extreme lack of cash.
Through it all Peggy has hung in there. It has been rocky at times. But I could not have found a better woman to spend the rest of my life with.
I'm not out of the woods yet but things are looking a lot better. I took a job this summer with the idea of using the money for a third trip.
The plan is to leave July 14th and return August 2nd. The main purpose is to be with my girl. Her main purpose is to tie a knot around my finger. Yes we'll get married while I am there.
I got the message today that my visa was approved by the Chinese consulate and it should be here by Monday.
Now to find a reasonably priced airplane ticket. Dang they are ranging from $1700.00 to $5000.00. I was going to try priceline.com but I didn't like the drawbacks so I guess I'll call Delta and try to whittle them down.
