Ending my journey

I want to say a big thank you to all of you guys and I wish you all the success and happiness in your relationships, I apologise for sullying up the joyfulnes of the board.

I would just like to say that I'm ending my Visa Journey, I don't think my fiance is ready for marriage, we have gone through a lot and I have tolerated a lot to get to this point, I have finally decided that it makes no sense to continue to relationship anymore and I'm officially ending my Journey. Thanks for all you answers and personal messages.

Lee

(((Lee))) what a hard decision to make. I am sorry that is the outcome but do know that you didn't "sully up the joy" at all. Thank you for sharing such a painful decision with us. I agree it is better now than later as it only gets more complicated. Good luck in whatever you decide to do from here on out. You are always welcome here on the thread regardless and I hope you stay in touch.

Much Love,

Jamie :star:

Hey There Old Timers!!! Hi there Newbies!!!

Ah wah gwaan!!??? Hey Rhonda, Kelly, Jonesie, Jamie, BellwinMills, Mindy!!! Where's MsSquito?? It has been so long, I forgot my password! :o Just popping in to say hi; I can't keep up anymore with daily or even weekly forum activity, but I do think of you all often. Very often. :luv:

I was in JA last week - only a 6 day trip. It rained A LOT, and I nearly lost all internal organs on those Portland to Ochee roads, but it was still a nice trip. I was very cranky to see all the trees laden with GREEN mangoes! :no: HMMPFF! I did manage to pay some highway robbers $150JA each for some Julie mangoes. Got some naseberry and of course my coconut jelly. Some apples (cashews to the Guyanese) and soursop too. Saw some guavas but they looked huge and wierd so I did not eat them. :lol:

For those of you who remember us, Henry and I are doing well. He is still working at the hospital and working a lot of overtime; only taking one class this semester. We are trying to save as much as we can.

We looked into buying a little house in JA, but the thought of two mortgages was darn scary and the max loan to a US citizen is 70% and to a JA citizen who is resident overseas is 80% so you need a healthy downpayment. We decided to buy an acre of land and build a house the way Anna's parents did-- one section at a time. (Hey Anna!!! How's life in Chitown!??)

The question now is where - so we spent a week driving all around. Henry is from St. Thomas, but I am not feeling it (sorry St. Thomas folks). I really want to be over in Hanover. I just love all the history and feel of that parish and I hope we can get something in or just outside Lucea or Green Island before the prices go TOTALLY nuts...as they have begun climbing with all the recent resort and subdivision developments.

Anywho, that's about all I have for an update. If anyone else is buying or building at this time or did in the past, I would love to hear from you. :yes:

So be well all of you.

HUGS to all old timers. Hope things are going well for you. (F)

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey Elizabeth! Glad to know you and Henry are doing fine.

Hubby told me last night about the visa fraud going on down there, it was announced over the radio. he told me it cost $180K JA to get a visa, because everyone from security to the interviewing officer has to get their cut.

Hopefully, this will speed up the process for people who are waiting patiently to get legitimate appointments.

Visa frauds has been going on forever. JA is known as one of the most fraud countries out there and unfortunately it's going to get worse. I know a friend so has a friend of a friend and has been deported over 4 times. Every time he goes down he just come right back. I dont know how he does it, but $$ in JA can get you any and everything. It pisses me off b/c now the system is getting harder and harder for us who's trying to be legitimate but no matter what happens ppl will always find a way.

Lee, it must have taken a lot for you to come to this decision which I know must be painful for you.But you know what`s best for yourself, and this seems to be the road you`ve decided is best.

I hope you get through this ok, and hope you will find happiness.

Don`t save your emotions up inside, do talk them through with someone, an email pal, friend, family member, doesn`t matter who, just make sure you vent....

I am sorry to hear about this, but like everyone else said, at least you realized NOW before you invested any more of your feelings, time, and money....who knows maybe you all will find a way to rekindle sometime in the future....I think its important for us all to remember that not everyone's journey turns out the way that they hope....I know because I speak from experience...but what I do know that we were all sent on this journey to learn something about ourselves, our strengths, our weaknesses, what we can and can not endure, and that is what we can all take from this...no matter how are journey turns out, we are all in it together--that's why we're the "Yaardie Family"...One love (L)
