Family

I am quite excited as I talked to my youngtest sister in USA this week on Skype and we discussed how we can all get together again. We came up with a plan!

So for it to work, I have exchange my Cyprus timeshare apartment for one in San Francisco. If that all works out ok thats the main part of the plan started!

I dont know how available these San Francisco apartments are but I am speaking to a representative next week to find out.(Fingers crossedd!)

The next step will be to book a flight, try to fit it in with all my commitments for 2010. I dont want to just go all that way for 7 days so am thinking maybe combine the trip with going to see a cousin in Canada. We will have to wait and see what transpires there and the total cost which will determine how much or how little we do.

If it all comes together I will be able at last to meet the next sister down from me. There are 5 of us altogether and I have met 3 so just Terrie to go. She is a new Grandma as well so there is an addition to the family to meet too. Its very exciting to think it might now happen. I cant wait.

The trouble is, I am so impatient, I want it all now! but the wheels of the travel industry do not seem to work as quick as I do. Never mind, I have faith now that it will happen.

The only fly in the ointment may be that my eldest sister may not be able to get to San Francisco and that will be upsetting. However, I havent even told her of my tentative plans yet so thats another 'wait and see'.

Now I have mastered Skype, I am hoping to be able to speak to all my sisters on a regular basis, its ok for emails but the human voice carries so much feeling.

I need these sisters, I only found them a few years ago, I missed out on so much with them when I was growing up an only child and so time is precious, I have to see them as much as I can manage.

Family is a wonderful thing, I will never take it for granted. I love them so much.
