Welcome to the forum Daryl, I hope that the first meeting with your Filipina goes well and I'm sure that she will be just as nervous as you

. Whichever way you travel, it's a long and often uncomfortable flight so make sure you get plenty of sleep in the "sleep bank" before you go.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to exchange PMs on the forum until you have made a certain number of posts ...... sorry, can't remember how many.
