is it hard to travel alone to US for the first time? Will there be a chance that i may get lost or deported???

No it's not hard. Just be aware what to do & pay attention to the signs. I traveled alone too thru PAL & I wasn't worrying too much coz from Cebu to SFO, I've seen a lot of Filipinos & that made me feel at ease. You only have to deal with boredom during your flight coz it's long hours of flying...You'll be okay... :thumbs:

He he he he! as long as your not closing your eyes (joke). Just be more attentive in every details of your flights & know your directions well I guess u'll be fine. Don't hesitate to ask if u're confused & need some assistance. Avoid too much anxiety just relax and enjoy the trip. :) Goodluck

This thread used to be our own little community when we were not part of the Regional Discussion yet. Some old time members like Roy and Yazi, Sheriff, DARUMA07 and myself were the only ones left in keeping this thread alive. Every now and then, our dearest Ate Cora aka Pinay Wife will drop by and see if we're behaving :devil: , same thing with Skeeter111 who, once in a while, will join the riots. :P It would be nice to see this thread goes on and on and make it as lively as it used to be. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Yes, iya... Ate Cora is now known as Pinay Wife because she's not waiting for anything now and also someone else is using the same ID here and she didn't the other one to be confused as her. You gotta stay active so you won't miss out a lot of things.
