Hola peoples,

I am supposed to be moving to North Carolina (I'm scurred.LOL) in a few years. Other than my aunt and uncle, I wonder how many "Caribs" are out there.

Your aunt and uncle

I live in a small community where there is a very large, old resort. Everybody and their mother works there because there is very little employment elsewhere. Since the 1960's, they have brought Jamaicans to work there. They come in March and work until November or December, depending on the climate(snow). Many have married and settled here or married and moved on. I hear that they have sister hotels in NC and SC, that do the same thing, I have no idea exactly where they are located, but maybe they will be close to you.

I never can get this thing to do right, this was suppose to be a reply to Elizabethnhenry.

Was trying to add a pic of the dress but I am unable to. I will give the item number

Go to Davidsbridal.com and the dress or item number is V8472. It is hard to tell in the pic but it is form fitting at the top and the straps fall right on the edge of my shoulders and then it is A-line (big full bottom) with a long train. Satin with lots of beads and sequins. I love it!!!

After spending most of the day at Friend of the Court I found out that my ex doesnt have any Parenting Time rights (visitation). He failed to show up to a default hearing so I was granted custody Granted this is not gonna prevent him from coming to snatch her out of the yard but it does give me the right to tell him to forget seeing her. He has only seen her 5 times in 7 years. Tashi is having a problem with this (partly because this child is the one he has bonded with the most) because he thinks something bad will happen to her if I let him have visitation and he doesnt want Brittny to be confused about her "daddy". I told Tashi that she is not gonna remember a sperm donor but she will remember who is there tucking her in and reading her bedtime stories. I will keep you all posted.

Blessings,

Rita

Glad to hear everything is working in you favor, Rita and glad you are back on

together----to answer your question, i honestly didn't look. it opened up a bunch in February and March. From my perspective it was very easy to do, so I wouldn't do it until you are ready to go to the interview soon. EXCEPT if its around xmass or summer...that's when it will get busier.

jamie-----getting this visa would be so great because his daughter can continue to see him and start travelling to america. We both think its so important to keep a good relationship and henry would love to have her for 1 month in the summer, maybe some xmass's....i want her to gain the experience and so does henry. Also, it will be much cheaper for her to fly here and stay with us in our house then both of us flying down and spending lots of money and doing a couple days in hotels, etc. it's a big savings. It would be nice if not every one of our vacations were to JA every year too...we both have other places we want to go. Does anyone know if a 6 year old can fly alone?

an update on the appointment. we spoke to the mother last night and the date we picked didn't work for her...so i just went online and entered my password, etc. and it let me change the date to 2/27/06 at 9:45...which was what she wanted. it's not as much of a rush that way...

I'll be around all day

Rhonda ~ So sorry to hear about Tonys uncle...are ya'll going to JA soon?

Hope everyone is having a good day...I and seeimg more people posting approvals from Nov. I hope mine is soon...and I sure hope we dont get Administrative review...that would really suck!!!!

No, we are unable to go to Jamaica again so soon. We just can't afford it (especially since we already booked our trip to Punta Cana ) Tony hasn't even mentioned going down there - I think he knows we just can't do it right now.

Hope you get your NOA2 really soon

Darah,

I agree with you, it would be cheaper for us too! We'd like to bring Tony's daughter up here but she's also (almost) 6 years old and I'm worried about her flying alone. I'm not sure how that works. Obviously someone would have to guide her through security, to her gate, make sure she gets on the plane ok and finds her seat, etc... Not to mention going through Immigration by herself. I'm not sure what process they have in place for children flying alone, especially from outside the country Tony also has a son who's only 2 1/2 but I think he's too young to be away from his mother yet. Maybe when he gets older. Good luck with everything, sorry I don't have an answer for you.

Jamie -- what are your children's names? Boys and/or girls??

Happy Thursday Everbody!!!

With regard to NC:

Hi Kimone!! - Well right now - my aunt and uncle are in the Gas House (Gastonia) and my cousins live and work in Charlotte. My mom is building a house outside Gastonia. Any business world connections that I have (clients, classmates, etc.) are in Charlotte. But I like Asheville and some other places.

Jamie: No particular reason for choosing NC - we want to move South soon and have relatives in FL, GA, AL and NC. So each group makes a pitch as to why we should move to their state.LOL So right now NC has the floor.

Jamie,

I'm so excited for you guys getting the new puppies That's a great way to keep Andre happy & occupied. It's also a great time to have new puppies when someone will be home with them all day. I have a 3 year old yellow labrador retriever named Harley. I just love him I was working a lot of hours when I first got him and it took me forever to potty train him because I wasn't home enough. So in that sense, now is the perfect time for you guys to get puppies since Andre isn't working yet. We want to see pics of your new babies!

good morning all!!!

Rita, that dress is beautiful. I saw someone trying it on a couple weeks ago! Great choice.

Squito and I are big into our big wedding planning. We booked our photographer and videographers last night. Now all we need is a dj and florist

Good Morning

I looked up some of the major airlines and it seems that the standard age to travel alone is 5 years or older. So you are ok! Do a search with your airline for unaccompanied minor/international travel. It seems there is a lot of limitations on what types of flights and what time the flights can be. There also seems to be a fee for some of the airlines. Definitely check it out.

Here are some of the links I found

NWA

United

US Air

Continental

Yeah its working out perfectly. Andre is getting a little frustrated but I always gently remind that he is the one that wanted the puppies and agreed to take care of them There are adorable but FULL of energy

Glad to hear things are going good with you Rita...I checked out your dress, I think I have seen it in the store....very very pretty!!! you will look fabulous

The dress is spectacular

Glad things worked out with your daughter

Jamie -- what are your children's names? Boys and/or girls??

Both boys...Milo and Nemo...don't ask

Good evening everyone,

Sorry to hear about Tony's Uncle, Rhonda, you have my condolences.

Good to hear about your pups, Jamie, one of my dogs is an Australian Sheppard mix.

Hope everyone is having a good evening, had a wonderful day, and will have a great tomorrow.

Hi Dru! How do you like your australian sheppard? I have been hearing some bad things About how big is your dogs (pounds?)

jamie...thanks for the info. it really helps. the only thing is there are virtually no non-stop flights from boston to jamrock.

hmmmmm. i'll have to think about this one.

If I remember right there was an airline that would allow transfers as long as it was during the day and not overnight. Definitely shop around for the airline that will allow the most/what you need.

Milo & Nemo???? Animation fans???? Those are great names. We MUST see pictures soon!!!!

LOL

Well Milo came from the movie Milo and Otis...not sure how that came in the mix.

Nemo...well when I was in JA with Andre last Christmas we were watching the movie Finding Nemo when we heard the most awful cries outside the window. We go out there to find this little little puppy being attacked by 2 bigger dogs So we rescued it and fixed it up and gave it some food. It was a cute puppy. So we named it Nemo. Andre and I kept it on his little veranda in a box and he was staying by a church. The very next day there was funeral at the church and someone STOLE our puppy out of the box on the veranda. The grill was shut and he couldn't fit through the bars so someone had to open it up and take him out of the box...he couldn't get out on his own. It was so sad So in honor of our stolen puppy we know have Nemo.
