Hey Ed (and all my other lovely friends),
I have been out of the USA for nearly 5 and a half years... can you believe it. I must say, I miss the States more than any other country I have lived in. Just have to wait for my daughter to turn 21 so I can come back! lol, not tooo long to wait, she is 6 now.

I still consider the USA my home and miss it more than my place of birth. I dont think I would ever move back to South Africa, well not willingly anyway. My mom and my mom in law both passed away within 6 months of each other a year ago, so it really is only my dad that I go back to visit. I would love to bring him across to live with me, but he really is an old fart and rather set in his ways. I think I would have to drag him kicking and screaming.
Who knows maybe the US will have a change in immigration policy... but Im not holding my breath.
