Much obliged Brandon for that information, it's very helpful.
I actually presently hold a "Retirement Ext. that expires next month but I cannot travel till near the end of the year due to having medical tests here at home... Cheers again.
Thank you for the up-to-date info...Mind you, I am stuck in Ireland waiting to get back to Thailand and it's da** cold and wet (and expensive)...555...When I do get back I'll be doing less moaning and just live "one day at a time"...and be grateful.
