I recently traveled to the US. My ticket was purchased online (in the US) via the delta site (although i do have an account with delta with previous purchases made in the philippines). The tix covered my travel tax and was never asked by any of the delta personnel to pay an extra p1.6k. The only thing I had to pay was p550. Did you inform them that your tix covers the travel tax? Showed them the printed receipt?

Oh and congratulations, and good luck with the new phase of your life! Be strong and keep praying and believing that dreams always come true! :)

yeah i guess hahaha .. funny how cold last night after the dinner outside wearing my jacket, jeans and t-shirt and i still feel so cold and shaking while walking hahaha hubby was hugging me a lot to stop me from shaking..

It's twenty below zero at night here now and a really cold one is sixty below zero. Driving on snowmachines or in the wind it can be a hundred below zero with wind chill. But my wife has never shaken from the cold. This is strictly a matter of not wearing enough warm clothing.

Eight months pregnant, thirty below zero, pitch black night the snowmachine broke down about seven miles from the cabin and had to walk home once. I could not navigate by stars or moon because it was 100% cloud cover and we could not go home the way we came in because it was far too long. So by seven miles I mean the shortest trails, and it was in an area I don't use much. The dog mushers use that trail system and have all kinds of routes going every which-way. Eventually we got close enough to where we could hear dogs in the distance so that took all the stress of making a wrong turn away. When the stakes are that high people don't under-dress for the weather. She had expedition weight gear on from Apocalypse Design, and we could have slept overnight outside without dying. People who live in cities in the lower '48 are more concerned with fashion so they're going to shake when it is a hundred degrees warmer than here. It isn't a matter of getting accustomed to the cold, but learning how much you need to wear in order to be toasty warm even at a hundred below.

So welcome, and have that husband buy warmer clothes for you. :)
