My mother and I are in a tizzy right now. We were sent an invitation to visit by my sister--who is a permanent resident in Canada--the statutory declaration says that she & her husband will take care of everything we might need while there. Who wouldn't want that, right?
Certainly, this travel junkie is all excited and salivating at the thought of seeing the Canadian Rocky Mountains up-close! But the timing is awful... I'm in the middle of a permanent move from my Valenzuela apartment to our newly-acquired Makati condo.
It's just a total mess right now and I also have work to contend with. To add to the confusion, Mama can't stay past the summer season in fear of her joints acting up in the cold. That's really our main concern, that she enjoy her 75th year... The year of visiting all her kids & grandkids scattered about in Canada, Australia & New Zealand.
We're both excited to see my brother & his family in Ontario, some of his kids we have not met since they were born. We also can't bear to disappoint my sister's kids in Alberta. The eldest, 17-year-old Jian, worked at KFC so he can save for his grandma's plane ticket.
Aww... this is hard. Should we go through with the Temporary Resident Visa application? I just hope we get approved (or not) while it's still summer there.
