Philippinesanyone have there POE in hawaii?

Tell her NOT to walk as Hawaiian domestic is all the way down to the other end of the terminal.
Have her get the Wiki Wiki bus.



when i flew hawaiin in septmber I think I only had to walk over 3 gates if i remember ???? so they have more than 1 terminal?

Philippinesanyone have there POE in hawaii?

Meet her in Honilulu and have a bitching "pre honey moon".
When she gets off the international flight she can get her baggage and walk out to the street. Have her ask the guard there where she can get on the "Wiki Wwiki" bus which will take her to the domestic flight for free.
One comes by every 20 minutes or so.
It can be a long walk depending on which domestic airlines she will be flying.
Hawaiian?


yes it would be hawaiin air

Hello everyone I am trying to decide flights and I am leaning towards hawaiian air ,$15 more but only 1 stop and 6 less hours of travel of San Fran ...how is the poe in Hawaii? I know the terminal is smaller and will be easy for her to go from one plane to the next!!!

Philippinesok i know i posted about my space but it is in here visa paperwork????

Agree with the previous warnings bout messing with the packet. The warning is clear..DO NOT OPEN OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO OPEN. "Don't get over excited, Don't lose you head" (willie wonka/johnny depp words of warning to the children after opening the door to the chocolate factory).

Our packet was stuffed full of the various evidence docs we provided. The POE officer even commented.."wow, this is the biggest visa packet i've ever seen!"

Don't worry. You got the visa.





hmm..yes i never open envelop,just only peek...and im happy to have my visa in hand..thank god... :dance: :whistle: thnak u...

QUOTE (Mark&Gladys @ Dec 6 2009, 09:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
However, there IS a difference when it comes to relationships. In general (and there ARE exceptions) white women in the USA have never experienced true hardship. They do not really understand the concept of community and relationships. They often do not appreciate discipline and sacrifice and are very materialistic. They are focused on careers and a new car - not on a husband and family. I am not even saying this is all bad - just reality. But they tend to be spoiled and driven by their careers. Relationships are a distant second for many. Consequently, it is hard for men who want a more traditional marriage and relationship to find a woman in the USA that meets their needs.

I will use you as example with my apologies. I initially thought your login name was a bit strange for a filipina. Now I see that you are not from the Philippines and it makes more sense to me. In fact, no filipina would use a name like that. They are too discrete, honorable and conservative. If that does not make sense to you then you really do not understand what a filipina is. What do you imagine that most people think when they read your login name? Immediately, I discounted as someone only interested in partying and selfish physical/material pleasures - someone who does not really understand relationships and the importance of family and relationships. That is absolutely typical for most women in the USA and is exactly why most of us appreciate the values, beauty (physical and otherwise) and unconditional love we found in the Philippines.

Charlie,

You're going to have to keep us kano's going even after Pam gets there.. I remember seeing your posts from a few months ago when you were about to start pulling out your hair waiting on the NOA2. I'm about there brother, it's only been 2 months but it feels like even longer. I got back almost 3 weeks ago from a trip, meeting my fiancee in Hong Kong.. I'm going back on May 1st to meet up with her in Manila and spend a few days in Bohol. My sweetie is so excited to see the tarsiers on Bohol Island :wub:

Congrats and best of wishes to you both!

-Jared



well I am not going anywhere!!! We still will have the AOS to go through all the way to the 10 year green card so I will probably be here for another 30 years!!!!....lol

Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

When entering the airport the ticket counters are directly in front of you. When I paid this fee I had to go to a central desk, sort of in the middle of all the ticket counters.

The ticketing agent will direct you.

No need to worry about that!! :)


ok thanks shir!!!!! She is just all nervous since she has never flown before !!!...lol
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-02-18 10:07:00
Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

theres a booth at the airport where you can pay the terminal fee/travel tax


is when you are walking to the terminals or that glass booth in the middle of the floor where the ticket counters are?

Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

Yeah, they got me leaving Cebu last time. I totally forgot about terminal fees and gave my girl every scrap of pesos I had left in my pockets. Then I got to the hallway of PTA...the ONLY way into terminal is by paying that fee...and luckily I had a $20 US bill in my wallet.....the damn PTA didn't have US change..but took my $20 and let me pass..... :angry:



the PTA is at the airport right? is that where we had to pay the 750 pesos?

Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

charlie,
my hubby got me a ticket thru expedia also and emailed me the e-ticket and all the details. They never ask me any copy of my hubby's cc and it was a straight flight from Manila to LAX for $750 13 hours flight only then he picked me up in the airport and stayed in hotel :) No hassle at POE. God bless you and Pam.


I did get the ticket through expedia !!!!it was the same on line price as hawaiin air but they woulkdnt let me book it on line through hawaiin if it wasnt for me I had to call them and they wanted and extra 25 so I called expedia and got her ticket for the online price, in her name, without the added fee !!!! I am still sending her a copy of the credit card and my id just in case!!!...lol ....better to be safe than sorry !!!!
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-02-17 22:24:00
Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

My situation is a little different since she's flying March 23rd thus lower rate and just from Hong Kong to NYC and that's it... No Phoenix leg... Don't know if they (Cathay) flies anywhere near there though...

Sounds like your way may be the only way since she has no debit/credit card of her own...

I'm trying to get my wife to fly alone cause me meeting her in Manila to fly out together sounds romantic and reassuring but it is also a $1600 or more waste of money.

Told her we could get some brand new furniture or clothes for her with that money.

Told her it shouldn't be that bad... Get in metal flying tube from Manila to Hong Kong and repeat one more time to NYC... In a plane full of Filipino bretheren...

Meet in NYC and fly together to Baltimore...


yeah i had to talk her into it the same way told her we would use the money i saved on my flight for the honeymoon !!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To avoid fraudulent transactions and to protect credit card owners, most airline that I know of, like PAL reserves the right to require that the credit card used in purchasing the ticket(s) online be presented at the ticket collection point, upon check-in or in cases of reissuance, rebooking or refund of a ticket. I used a travel agency to avoid the photocopies and hassles.

If the credit card owner is not part of the travelling party and is unable to present the credit card used, PAL also reserves the right to require the presentation of clear photocopies of the front of the credit card and the valid PHOTO ID of the credit card owner at the ticket collection point, upon check-in and in cases of reissuance, rebooking and/or refund.

It shall be the responsibility of the credit card owner to ensure that the passenger(s) comply with the requirement. PAL reserves the right to deny boarding to passenger(s) or refuse to reissue, revalidate, rebook or refund a ticket for failure to comply with foregoing requirements.

Without prejudice to criminal prosecution under Republic Act No. 8484, PAL may cancel a confirmed reservation or may remove from any flight any passenger if PAL has reason to believe that a ticket(s) has been purchased using a fraudulent credit card.


that is PAL policies !!!! but thank you for all that info!!!! I did book the flight though today

Philippinesbuying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

How about this.... I'm thinking of sending her $900 and having her go online to Cathay Pacific and buy her one way ticket for $845 from Manila to NYC where we meet and fly together to Baltimore...

The only benefits I see is that she is buing the ticket with her own debit/credit card and only has to show her ID at the airport.

Would such a scenario work for you?


lol....i just checked out cathay pacific and they wanted $2023.00 for the trip???? one way listen to this manila to hong kong ...then hong kong to JFK?????...then from JFK to Phoenix!!!!! 34 hours total!!!!!

Philippinesa question for the guys here that have there loved ones with them now!!!

I had IUD for almost 6 years... worked out great.. I took it out December '09 coz me and my husband thinks we're ready to have one.. since my first child is almost 7 years old ...

it only took less than 3 minutes to put it in.. no pain or discomfort..

and its free in your local health clinic. =)



cool...because that is what she wants she has read about everything she wants the IUD ir possibly Nova ring
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-02-26 09:10:00
Philippinesa question for the guys here that have there loved ones with them now!!!

Charlie...you get the prescription for the birth control pills from Planned Parenthood, or your community public health clinic, or your doctor. Then you take the prescription to WalMart and buy the pills. Planned Parenthood may even provide both the prescription and the birth control pills.



cool I will google it and see what I have in my area
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-02-22 10:11:00
Philippinesa question for the guys here that have there loved ones with them now!!!

Condoms are no fun.

BCP are great. Just take them in the morning or night like a vitamin pill or after brushing your teeth. The first or so she might be a little moody--man, I threw some temper tantrums, but her body will adjust soon to the extra estrogen. No smoking though, and I assume she's under 35.


yes she is 24 in a few weeks ......so we can just go to walmart and ask for them for the perscription?


If it's only for a month, just pull out pornstar-style. Or use a condom (and still pull out, those things are just as effective as pulling out)

Just make sure you always pull out. Don't combine with rhythm and there's only a 4% chance of pregnancy.

http://contraception...-as-condoms.htm


RELATED JOKE:

What do they call people who practice rhythm method for birth control??

PARENTS!

Philippinesa question for the guys here that have there loved ones with them now!!!

Wow...$9 per month for the pill is a great price! That's a lot less expensive than the 60-70 rubbers per month Charlie would need. ;)



OMG !!! I just really laughed so hard when I saw that !!! that is great !!!!

Your local planned parenthood can get the prescription for free, then the pill is between $9 (walmart generic, $12 Walgreens and $15 at other places)...



ok ....we were talking about an IUD ...can u get that from planned parenting? since it will be 30 days for the pill to take affect then ......it will be time for the wedding ....then i can get her on insurance anyway ....lol

We saw a really chubby baby in Davao and she informed me that she doesn't want to carry a heavy baby and it would look much cuter if I carry em'... :wub:

This will be me...

I had to be blunt on this one.. But if you're agreeing to having 5 kids (blessings).. How old do you want to be when the youngest is heading off to college..... :P

Don't wait too long if you can afford them now..



THE WAY I LOOK AT IT ....IF I CAN AFFORD IT AND THE COLLEGE FUND IS SET THEN WHY NOT???

charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-02-21 21:17:00
Philippinesa question for the guys here that have there loved ones with them now!!!

If you agree with her having 5, why not? Pills or condoms are available. I think, your insurance may cover her birth control prescription. You can inquire about this. However, about me I'm not using anything. We've been trying for four years. :devil:



sorry u have been trying for so long !!!!! If u were near me I could give u a name of a real good doctor to help that !!!!
