John & Angeline,
You've really planned out your strategy and implemented the tactics very well.
From what you've prepared and done so far I can see a wonderful wedding on the now close horizon. Well done both.

It's hard to imagine you'll not reach that ulimate goal. So keep that attention to detail going.

Not wanting to appear as a 'doubting Thomas', but are you sure the 2 hours travel to the Embassy will be enough?
Please may I suggest you review this? If you're happy OK. Go with it.
But that Manila traffic around that area is completely unpredicatable.
Sorry to put any doubts in your mind, just want you will avoid any issues.

All best wishes for a safe, happy and successful visit

Thanks Terpe, in your opinion how long do you think we should allow from Manila hotel? I believe the distance is about 7 miles? Advise always appreciated. My only concern is getting there so early that we end up sitting out side the embassy feeling rather insecure.
Thanks again.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything. I really have no idea. Very sorry John.
It all depends on the traffic conditions on the day.
The only reason I mentioned it is because the Embassy in these days is really not understanding about missed appoinments.
Sorry if my comment spooked you.

It's a little bit like the drive to Heathrow from my place. Should be 2 hours easy, but often given the M1, M25 and M4 conditions who knows.
Depending on timing etc I'd rather stay overnight at an airport hotel just to be double sure.

I don't know if it's possible for you to find a hotel room a little closer?

I do apologise John, I'm sure you know it's impossible to predict travel conditions.
But maybe you can find a hotel somewhere closer to the Embassy??

Just a suggestion from a worried observer.

Hi Terpe, hey no you didnt spook me my friend..advise is good.. i have booked the hotel at Airport because she is meeting me there and its her 1st flight .. to be honest its easier this way around. We could always leave earlier for the embassy its not a problem.. I will give it serious thought. Sime guys here have said it takes between 30 mins to 2 hours, thats why I opted for 2 hours. Please always advise and dont be afraid..you have been a great help on our scary but thrilling journey .. so hey no need to appologise, please!
Blessings upon you.

John
