Returning home for the 3rd time proved difficult . . . and on several occasions, the Visa issue was discussed. Corey even suggested that he attempt to secure a "work Visa" to come over sooner and be with me . . .

Our communication remained constant -- it never waivered; and, those very few times that there were misunderstandings, they got resolved within a day or so. Every call . . . "I miss you and I love you . . . we soon be together." In fact, things were so good that, at Corey's request, I booked another trip to Ocho to spend his birthday with him in December . . .

Looking back, I can "almost" laugh at that . . . almost, but not yet.

So, before I go further, let me provide you with a little "proof" of my relationship with Corey . . . here are 3 photos taken of us -- one from each trip (our initial meeting on the river, the return trip, and my last trip in July).
