So happy to hear from you Lisa

Welcome back Lisa and thanks for the much awaited update. I have thought of you many times over the past year or so and am so happy that all has worked out for you as I knew that it would.

Reading through your post I realise that all has not been a bed of roses but I think that your son would have had problems with anyone that you brought into his life and at 25 y.o. he surely needs to making his own life anyway. I had a laugh when you mentioned the spending as I have the same concerns and reactions with my Egyptian husband. Being from poorer countries, they are taught from an early age to be careful with money as it is not abundant in their culture and it can be quite unnerving for them at times to see the way we that we from the west tend to spend our hard earned dollars or their Egyptian pounds.

From my end, my relationship with my Egyptian husband has not faltered and our travel business is doing well despite the recent political problems in Egypt. The misinformed bad press seems to hang around and tarnishes Egypt as a tourist destination but we are hopeful that all will settle and the revolution will allow the Egyptians to move forward, as they are saying.

I wish you continued success with your marriage and your life. Please keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Isis
