What happened to the avatar ?

Best of luck, JR.  Sometimes life has a way of finding the right outcome in the end, even if you don't see it at the time.

last week got a new job which is requiring her to travel to Tajikistan on Monday. So I hope to be able to spend one day with her (even that is up in the air at this point) and determine if there is any reason to invest any more of my life into the situation. I'm not upset with her, life happens and I'd do that same in her shoes.

I hope this isn't the way she's telling you that she's not interested. Did you suggest paying for her travel back to Tashkent on her days off? When in Tashkent find out if you can get a visa at the border of Tajikistan to stay there with her. If I were you, I'd tell her this is the trip you're on to decide if you and her have a future together and it's a bad sign that you two can't see each other. If two people want to be together, they will find a way. Have plenty of backup plans and have Anton and his grandfather Ernest give you the tour in Tashkent and  tips on where to meet good quality women.

JR,

A man is crossing the ocean, and she has time for only 1 day ? It is CRUEL.

back up plans are a must.
