Hi All

Well, my dad and uncle came to visit in September from North Carolina.
I hadn't seen him for 12 years and he had never met his grandchildren. (We had spoken every few months on the phone).
He has been caring for my grandmother for the past 5 or 6 years and she passed away in July.
Well the visit was fantastic, he has since got the internet and myself and my girls DD1(12), DD2(9) talk to him everyday on msn.
He has just paid me and the girls to visit him and my uncle in April, we are all so excited. :spin:

Anyway just had to share with all my Dibb friends :wavey:

Twice to America in a year, it takes me 3 years to save up for once :d:

Jane, I have an American business colleague who holidays each year in North Carolina. It looks the most fantastic place and definitely an undiscovered gem for Brits. Lucky you !!!
