A Visa for Every Country - Sailing Uma [Step 56]

After the hurricane, Dan flew to New York to keep me company for a few weeks while I helped my mom in the hospital. When we came back to Haiti, we spent time with family and tackled a few tasks on our to do list while still in Port Au Prince. Mainly, we had to get the necessary visas for me for the next few months of travels through the Caribbean. Let's just say, it's not as simple as you think. I basically need a visa for every country!

It's clear to see how much you love your Dan... and well Dan... I love the way you are always with your sweetheart supporting her as she does you... Yep... the perfect couple. Count your blessings.... it's very rare to see such perfectly matched couples.

I'm happy to see you wearing a helmet on the motor bike... My sweetie died 4 years ago in a motorcycle wreck because she didn't like wearing a heavy helmet she was little and petite like you are, she was 72 years old and weighed 105 pounds and was 5 feet tall I miss her everyday... They didn't expect me to live ether. but after 27 days in a coma I woke up and didn't remember much of anything I had some brain damage also because I didn't like to wear a helmet ether .... 4 years latter and here I still lay trying to get my badly broken body to heal, I had a lot of nerve damage also... But I'll get better in GOD'S time He knows whats best for me and I getting pretty good on the computer... LOL I'm looking forward to see all the fun you kids are going to have sailing... I'll be out here watching... May God sail with you and HIS Angles guide you to safe harbors.... Sail on my love sail on!!! :-)
