Virginia, Yes it may be cold but really they have been having some rainy days and like today its nice there but our weather here has been the same. I think he said his sisters apartment has some heat in one room and its not bad and is a very nice apartment with good bath and warm water. Im sure its nice since her family home (dad's where my guy lives is a humongous home-very large -gorgeous home) She will stay in Dad's home. She usually rents her home during the tourist season for $70 night and We will pay $45 night which is not bad to me plus we will be helping the sister who is divorced with children. Im traveling alone but Im not nervous at all....He doesn't make me nervous and I have heard and seen good things written too so to be first trip, I have no cold feet or bad feelings..but I will be careful at all airports including my own state/country airports...I leave in 16 more days or I am hoping. I did go to the Dr and found out I have a hemmoraging cyst that has bled into itself and it may or may not need surgery depends on its growth over the next month. Dr tells me If I will have severe pain with it I should see it within the next two weeks before my trip.....So my fingers are crossed it will be alright. He has been sick too and putting off his surgery til I leave or until he has tried all medicines available....and before Luigi gets on this health tactic...he has had this for 3 years common in both men and women (internal hemmroid bleeding) and his medicines and his surgery will be free...his brother-in law will do surgery and he has family a pharmacist,etc...and he is human, we all get sick and I do not pay anything for his sickness. He has good days and bad days lately. If he needs surgery he will wait til I leave. So no need to lie about his health and he is always on time for our meetings and has been since Feb this year... I like his personality, his character, his views and his willingness to always be positive....he is nice looking-not exotic looking-and has a good heart and is an average good man....no different from men here except he is muslim but we have muslims who live in our states all over. I have muslim acquaintances. They operate a convience store here and they are generous with my kids...always giving them something. They are happy about my trip and excited for me and tell me I will love visiting there.They know of the city I will travel to..so I am not nervous and maybe its cause I feel safe with my fiance and I know he will protect me. I will keep with him and not venture alone....they do have crimes such as purse snatching, etc. and I do not know how to bartar so best he does it for me.

His mom will prepare a meal/dinner for us in her home since we are marrying.....She seems to be happy for her son.We have both left the "door open" as far as marrying if we see things are different in person or we need extra time together....Neither is pressuring the other and he is very patient...I don't see him acting the way I am reading on these other men so I will not blacken my heart by applying all I read until and if he proves any different but really I do not see that happening. I have more fun and laughter with him kidding and being funny than I have anyone so I know I will enjoy this trip....first week is preparing marriage and second week we hope we both feel like traveling to the other cities and "The Red City" where he spent 4 years at an university. I am a photographer on the side so I plan to take lots of beautiful photographs. so I am excited! You can see some of my work on myspace not sure if links will work here but search mirrorimagephotosbylisa so address will be www . myspace . com / mirrorimagephotosbylisa with no spaces in between each......There are pictures of my self and fiance and my work.
