Cheers Scott. i'm toying with going to veince and florence and taking a sleeper train to paris maybe in the spring next year. Thinking two night in each.

Venice is great, I worked for a while for Delonghi who are based in Treviso about 20km north of Venice and also a lovely town. Florence is just stunning and in my view even more romantic than Venice. Never tried the sleeper but could be fun rock and roll hehehehehehe

if you are not going until spring 2012 and your wife is on ILR from 2006 any reason she does not just apply for citizenship, no more visa issues

... I'd just been wondering that, myself.

Its not for the want of trying no my part, got her the books and the Cd's but she seems reluctant to do the test. I've explained on numerous occasions that because of the work I do we could just jump on a plane and have a couple of weeks every time I come home but it doesn't seem to sink in.

my wife hates reading a whole book (even during our PADI courses she would just skip through and watch the videos) hehehe and hates tests even more but literally half an hour before kip for just a few weeks and she sailed through the test (she came out so quick I thought she had panicked and clammed up!!!!). Just try to encourage her again

Thing is my wife likes reading, infact i've just brought her a Kindle. I think she's more worried about the test itself. Think it stems from her not finishing school. Her parents died and it was up to her brothers and sisters to look after her (she's the youngest of 8!!) and I don't think they had the money to keep paying for schooling. I'll have another go at her to try reading the stuff again when we go to the phils in september.
