The flightview says Naty is between Guam and Honolulu. The roaming is not working on her cellphone but her fellow K-1 friend is on the same flight with her. I am getting messages relayed via the boyfriend here. Thank God for teamwork.

24 hours left. I have not kissed or held my sweetheart in over 2 years. I feel "surreal" at the moment. I decided to go get Naty alone. She will be tired and I am sure she will want to rest. My friends want to be there to lend support and I would like a photo of that first Embrace.

What do you think out there in VJ land? Or, what has been your experience. Input welcomed.

Comments : She recived the first notice from Manila on Valentines day. Perfect timing.

The first setback came during the medical. Naty had to do the 3 day sputum and then we waited 2 months for the results. YESSSS>came back negative

Went for her interview on July 16th and received her Pink Slip......Finally. Paid the AIR21 and I expect her here August 10th, 2009. Marriage will be August 21st, exactly 4 years to the day that we first met.

My husband's family members and friends were there to meet us at the airport. It's actually a different situation from you since he was with me on the flight.

But for a personal opinion, you can take a few friends with you to meet her. That should perhaps make her feel welcomed having other people aside from you. And yeah, you need someone to take pictures of those precious moments. Friends can do it for you. Also, your friends can go home after welcoming and chatting with her "for a few minutes" because indeed she needs a rest after a very long, tiring flight. You and her can spend more time with friends later.

I think its best you go alone. She will be tired and meeting other people will be stressful and more so when dead tired. chances are she will not sleep on her flight here. Plenty of time to meet others later, let her get comfortable with you and new suroundings.....

In my own opinion, going alone is better if she's the shy kind, it will make her comfortable ( you've been away from each other for so long and you don't want her not to be able to show you how she misses you because she's uncomfortable) but if she's the outgoing type then going with your close friends or family is good.

If she's anything like my wife (then fiancee) was, she'll be very tired after such a long flight and all she's going to want to do is spend time with you, eat some decent food, and get some rest.

I went alone, but I made the mistake of taking my then fiancee to a family New Year's party two days after she got here. I felt so bad for her because my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins kept grilling her about everything because they wanted to get to know her a bit, and all she wanted to do was sleep. It didn't help that the heat in my aunt and uncle's house went out during the visit.

My advice... Go alone. Save introducing your friends to her for a time when she's gotten over her jetlag a bit. That way, she won't have to deal with overcoming any shyness along with jellagged at the same time.

You'll have plenty of time for photos of the two of you once she feels human again.
