our flight to honolulu took 10hours....we got here exactly 11:30am....5:30am there in the phils.i didnt sleep on the plane ..(grabe iyak parin me..my son cannot sleep too.

when we reached in honolulu airport..we go straight to counter 8,,,,they took my packet and our passports..then the immigration officer told us,,i have to wait for awhile... soon we can go.,she instructed us to get married within 90days..and dont leave the country...for honeymoon lol....then they called me for my finger scanning,,and they keep my xray film....i put my xray film in the tube.but before i passed it to them ..i put it back on the envelope...wow it so easy here...no more questions....from honolulu to maui it took only 20mins. by plane......finally after 3yrs of waiting we are here...THANK YOU GOD.......

Hello ann! glad u arrived safe, buti ka pa kasama mo pala fiance' mo...can't imagine myself bringing my girls alone..waaaaaaa..

Your story was sad at first, nalungkot ako..but on the later part 'twas kinda funny about the walis tingting and tambo..napagusapan na kasi namin yan ng fiance' ko, hahaha.Tanong ko lang, what do they use to clean the garden? hahaha, nahalata tuloy ang pagka eng-eng ko.LOL.
