buying the ticket for Pam to come here what does she need

[Dakine 26]

PTA?? Is that the local Pain in The A$$ office?

Yeah and it's the last pesos other than the P750 terminal fees the PI government will get from the immigrant for a while.

PTA=s Philippine Travel Authority.

Yeah, they got me leaving Cebu last time. I totally forgot about terminal fees and gave my girl every scrap of pesos I had left in my pockets. Then I got to the hallway of PTA...the ONLY way into terminal is by paying that fee...and luckily I had a $20 US bill in my wallet.....the damn PTA didn't have US change..but took my $20 and let me pass.....

theres a booth at the airport where you can pay the terminal fee/travel tax

is when you are walking to the terminals or that glass booth in the middle of the floor where the ticket counters are?

When entering the airport the ticket counters are directly in front of you. When I paid this fee I had to go to a central desk, sort of in the middle of all the ticket counters.

The ticketing agent will direct you.

No need to worry about that!!

Charlie,

You're going to have to keep us kano's going even after Pam gets there.. I remember seeing your posts from a few months ago when you were about to start pulling out your hair waiting on the NOA2. I'm about there brother, it's only been 2 months but it feels like even longer. I got back almost 3 weeks ago from a trip, meeting my fiancee in Hong Kong.. I'm going back on May 1st to meet up with her in Manila and spend a few days in Bohol. My sweetie is so excited to see the tarsiers on Bohol Island

Congrats and best of wishes to you both!

That is why every time I vist the philippines I hsave p750 for the terminal fee to leave. I will not trust them to give me change from a 20 dollar bill.

[Scott and Mhay 57]

haha i did that on my first trip to the PI...at the time they wouldnt even take american money and my card would not work in the ATM that was right there (this was back in 2002). I had to trade a korean some won for pesos so I could leave. It's nice to have some extra pesos for a drink and some food in the morning too when waiting on the flight.

That's an insult to the Filipino. Betcha don't even trust your Filipino spouse with a five dollar bill, you penny pinching moron.
