Halo! Kumusta... (eh..Charmaine is turning me into a 'Pil'ipino heh-heh-heh....)

Charmaine had her embassy interview 12/9 ...we found out about it on 12/6 ...I'm sure there would have been a greater advance notice if 10,000 PAD protesters had not shut down BKK Airport for ten days or so (eh..Getting a new PM over there sounds like it was necessary...hey I'm from Illinois what do we know about crooked politicians? )

All went well except for her Philippines police clearance... apparently she was given the wrong one by the Philippine embassy ...should have been one authorized by the NBI so.....Charmaine had to go all the way back from Bangkok to Hatyai to her home in Songkhla....send the new NBI clearance back to Mama E in the Philippines....wait several days and get it back to Charmaine in Sonkhla...where upon receipt she can go back to Hatyai and then off to Bangkok (most likely by 12 hour bus trip again) to the US embassy on Monday or Wednesday at 3pm and should be able to get immediate approval....Then it's off to the USA!

I still haven't gotten her tickets as I don't know yet which day it will be....but we are still hopeful of a New Years Eve Wedding....

sigh* We will let you all know when we are together....'Malapit na"...Malapit na... (soon.....soon....)
