Uling, any reservations by your so or you about her flying into LAX POE? Are you nervous at all about her doing the POE interview by herself? I have talked with my wife about meeting her at LAX and having her take a direct MNL/LAX flight but she is nervous about going through immigration and customs.

What do you guys think? Anyone else have their wife/fiance travel to POE alone?

No! She's overjoyed and everything is a formality to her (just another loop to jump through). As for me, I know that at any point in this process, lingering in the darkness, is the potential of a snag that can send things to a screetching halt. That's why we all have busted our buns to be as prepared as much as possible. All will go well. Your focus determines your reality. Therefore, we shall be victorious. I'm claiming it, I believe it, and it shall be done. God did not bring us this far to fail and I believe that for all of us. Cheers!!!

I will fly Jenalyn into Harrisburg on the same flight that I always have taken, so I can talk her through everything (except for immigration) such as which line to stand-in, where to go to find the correct gate, etc. But then Jenalyn is very independent and stubborn, so if I ever told her I thought she couldn't handle things on her own, I'd have to talk to sherrif Uling about filing charges against her because her boot would be very far up my butt.
