A new start

[DARUMA07 25]

Thank you everyone! sorry for the late reply....going home tomorrow to cotabato. I'm flying via JAL. manila-japan-chicago (shaun will meet me in chicago) - kansas city.

Sweetheart lives in Kansas City. Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I truly had spent a long time and good times with my family....(my trip to USA is long over due na..) it's time to go home to my sweetheart

thank you everyone!

I flew up to Chicago from Kansas City to meet Ruchie and Mathew as their flight came in. I am glad you have shaun there to meet you. It was hectic to get from Terminal 5 back to Terminal 1 to catch our flight back to KC. It will make it easier to have Shaun there by your side. Good Luck and we will see you soon here in KC....

Hello VJ Family,

I am here finally in Kansas City. I arrived 4days ago. IT was a tiresome and a memorable trip. It was my first international travel and I can say that it was a trip that i wont forget. Seems that always i have to wait in line ..always. I waited a long time in manila to check in in JAL only to know that i have an excess baggage of 6 kilos! they only allow 23 kilos x 2 if you have connecting flight. So In the middle of the airport (floor if u call it floor) i transferred some stuff to another bag to lessen the weight of the big luggage. I didnt have time to go back to the restaurant in manila airport to say goodbye to my mother because it was already boarding time. I did call her on the phone though and cried all the way to the plane. I was impressed when i saw Japan airport..i love how the cherry blossom grew along the roads. I dont understand the airline food though but i do enjoy their hot tea being served every few minute interval.

American Airline served rice so i was relieved but was devastated when they only serve sugar coated bread in the morning...and it was COLD!!!! i was freezing....good thing the vietnamese seatmate didnt use his blanket so i had two:)

The longest wait is at the US immigration at the CHICAGO AIRPORT....there was a loooooooooooooooooong line for the visitors and i almost fell asleep waiting for my turn. It also took a long time for the immigration officer to check and recheck my K1 packet (he was new..he always ask other officers what to do). He said he was impressed with the packet ..they got tabs on them, and nice pictures of us, he kept on giving comments on how wonderful the packet is....and asked me some stuff like how did i met my fiance, who message who first, when's the wedding, and he said goodluck. I then went to get my luggage to check them in for the connecting flight.....things went well except that when i entered the security to board to the next plane, my little bag was checked...EVERY content of it...lotions, gels, etc. I left my johnson's facial cleanser because they cant fit into the ziplock they provided.....they said they will throw it away. My laptop wasnt checked though. after i passed the security i looked for a telephone booth to call shaun..he was in chicago airport to meet me.....and chicago airport is BIG...he said he was in K2 lounge while i was in L4 lounge....i was too tired i almost cry. My tiredness and frustration ceased when i saw shaun walking towards me.....and we boarded the plane going to kansas city together...and when i went out of the Kansas Airport to his car...I WAS TREMBLING IN COLD.....FREEZING IN SUPERLATIVE FORM. But In the car, it was warm...and my heart is warm....I was going home....Home with my sweetheart
