Hey vjers
u all know my wife is coming on thursday moring and i will drive all night to houston and pick her in the morning and bring her back to home in louisiana which is about 6 hours drive, before the 6 hours car ride she will spend 24 hours on the planes and airports. I appreciate if u can suggest anthing to make her feel comforatble in the car and at home. I know she will miss her family bcz that is the first time she is leaving home and first time she is flying. I am taking my laptop so she can talk to her family right after she make the landing at houston, i am carrying a extra pillow and blanket or sheets for her so she can relax in the car and i will treat her nice lunch some where in between, any thing else u think please share. Abby



Im sure you will be tired too from driving all night to Houston, can you still drive back to Louisiana? I suggest you stay in a hotel for few hours then head back in the afternoon. But it is good if you can take her home immediately so she can have a straight rest and you cook for her a nice dinner...hehehe! The best thing is, ask what she prefer the moment she arrives. Good luck!

6 hour drive back to Louisiana is not that bad.. she can sleep while you're driving but hotel stop is not a bad idea too it's really up to you guys. star_smile.gif


i really wanna make home so she can sleep for a day or two without any problem. no noise no tv no music no phone. and i think she will be much more confortable at home than hotel but the problem is she loves hotels and i hate to stay in hotel but if she wants i will let her do it. it is all up to her and will let her choose, thanks, abby

Perhaps stop at a hotel (if possible), let her get some rest and take a long shower...then hit the road. just a thought.

hey thank u i was thinking that too but she will be here in the morning and tired so i am thinking make it home in the day time driving so she can see the usa by car. i will ask her first if she says she wants to stay in hotel over night then i wiill do it, thank u so much, abby

PhilippinesXOOM SUCKS!!!
QUOTE (LÜvtechwifey @ Aug 22 2009, 05:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, When you use your bank account, it will take 2-4 business days before your beneficiary receives the money.
But when you use Credit card, the money is available in minutes.

My husband happen to use his bank account rather than credit card, and yeah, it took me 3 days before I was able to received the money.

So if you are in a rush, use CC.

hey little correction about xoom
the availablity of the money depends how long have u been using xoom, and also if u use charge card they charge u double. i have xoom for more than a year, i use charge cards, money market account, personal checking account, business checking account and paypal. if i use paypal or charge card i pay about $9.00 and if i use bank accounts then i pay $4.00 for $100 dollars transfer. after a year of using my xoom now my money transfer is only less than 5 minutes. before that it was about 30 minutes, if i transfer to her account the time is less than a minute. and when i started i had a linit of only $1000.00 a month and then after 6 months they raise to $3000.00 a month and now after a year my limit is $6000.00 a month. xoom works great for me but i feel bad for the OP that they had bad experience with xoom. abby

Anyone hear anything about people getting a round trip ticket and just not showing up for the return flight?

Suggestions!
Prepare all your docs in a 3 clear books and put index stubs too

First clear book Title is "IDENTIFICATION PAPERS" includes
a.)NSO Birth Certificate,

a.) Renewed Letter of intent to marry
b.) includes all the evidence or proof of continuos relationship (engagement ring receipt,chat logs,email, snail mail, cards, money remittance receipt, and put all the evidence of your prior meetings

if you do this you will feel confident in your interview even the interviewer they will give you it happened to me before and it will happen to you too! Just pray and feel confident and dont feel nervous! and you will be fine.....

hope it helps!


Good luck and God bless!

CORRECTION: There is NO CEBU hospital that caters medical for US immigrants.. St. Luke's Clinic in Manila is the only accredited medical institution that does medical for US immigrants and non-immigrants.
