i plan to leave San Francisco to Manila on March 25 and arrive on March 27. I am still looking for hotel near embassy. I am down to 2 choices: Cherry Blossoms and Midland. They are about the same price and walking distance to the embassy. Anyone have experience with either place?

Good luck! I am sure you have read a lot. I suggest you have your financee go for an early medical. I did not as I lived with her in Cebu for months before and she was healthy. I ended my assignment and moved back to USA. She recieved "something on her x ray" at her medical which now after a week of check ups appear to be nothing negative. Do not take anything for granted and I suggest as Nscrnut advised, do not make any plans for her return until you get through your interview. I chat with quite a few going through this and it seems if you have close dates something may happen. Just relax and make sure she gets through her medical and interview. I now am very relaxed and not anctious as I am tired of let downs.

Expedia had good rates through this weekend along with Philippines airlines for roughly 1,200 round trip. If you find a friend to go with you can get buy one take one on PAL business class for 2k each. Whew much more comfortable.

Take care and good luck again! Be parnoid now and you will do great. take nothing for granted!

i paid $1,025 from a travel agent in the Bay Area. I also booked Rose's ticket $800 for a one-way, but if we cannot make it on that date, there is a $75 change fee. We also rented a condo in Ortigas for $40 a day. I hope it works out. My biggest worry is this Delbros thing. Rose did another premedical thing about a month ago, so the medical this week she go smooth.
