A surprise will be cool, like I did for my uncle, he never knew I was leaving SA and when I appeared he was so shocked and happy after over 15 years of seeing me last he just couldn't stop admiring me.
I understand Jackie, we all go through some tough stuff in our lives, do take care when you are there.

That is nice, you get a few days to rest before your travel.
Thanks and you too Jackie. I hope I get my visa this week, it is the third week now since my application..
