she's pretty shy, don't think she likes facebook, she said I should just ask stuff then tell her, I told her you all were really nice too heh.
Tell her don't be. I am also a nurse so we have something in common and she might want to ask a few questions about how to register in Canada. :)

Sorry, was not near a computer the last few days. I'll tell her that too heh.

One week from today and I'm off. She saw a ring she likes (I'm in trouble hehe). I'm well past excited now, but that's also a lot of travel to get there and back, I'll be a zombie for days when I return heh.

If you folks have anymore words of wisdom for me, now is the time!:)

Since you are talking about ring and I am sure it has diamonds with it, bring the certificate (from the jewelry shop). My husband was advised to bring it but nobody from the Canadian airport was asking for it. Anyways, you have nothing to lose if you bring it :)

Enjoy your trip!!! :) If you love the beach and you like to scuba dive or snorkel, visit Panglao, Bohol :)

I'm a certified diver, and we were going to go visit family in Bohol, but that plan is put aside, we'll likely just chill out in CDO. Less than a week to go!

Keep all proof of this trip for the application: photos, plane tickets, boarding passes, entry and exit stamps in passport, hotel/restaurant receipts, receipts and tickets from other activities. If you get engaged, have a little party to celebrate it. When you meet her family and friends, get photos of you with them, and note down the date you met. All these things are asked for in the application.
