America and back

So I made it to America and back. I spent 15 days visiting my family, ate some good food. It was nice. The trip is very hard. 13 to 15 hours on just the longest part of the trip is rough. I have to add an extra day of travel to catch international flight in either Manila or Cebu. Then I went to Hong Kong, Dallas, then to Norfolk, VA. Each stop has it's challenges. I was able to eat a real ribeye steak, New York style pizza, Zeros' grinder and other things I can't find here in the Philippines. I hope on my next trip I can bring Beth. It's not easy getting a visitor visa to America. The American Embassy wants to be sure there is enough reasons for her to come back and not over stay her visa. But as we grow our life here and enough time I hope things will work out. She will be amazed at the differences in life style.
