You know David i do feel much better knowing i now have the means to go ahead and get this done, it is overdue, and he needs it more than i need a plane trip, besides it was going to cost us too much for all of us to go, as we all have to re-new passports and get new ones etc, and i will still have my other trip to look forward to,that is if we decide to take it, so hard to know what to do, need so many things doing around the place, seems selfish to take a holiday, but still we have not had one in three and half years so maybe it is time, leaving my kitties behind will be the hardest though, especially Lexie as she has never been in a cattery, but yes David i feel much happier using it this way for sure.
