Whew! Tagum, you know you can just pick it up at Manila airport too. They have desks in every terminal but not always manned so you just have to call them. It was no big deal for Moose to just pick up the stamp.

7.5 Hours in YVR is a bit brutal, done overnights there before! At least there is free Wifi and you can chat ;) If she changes some money to US she can just use it there too.

If its her first time there she will have lots to look at and explore. My first time there I had to kill 4 hours it went by really fast.

Yeah, it's pretty trippy after a 13 hour flight.. waterfalls, that giant thunderbird.. I think there are even coastal sound effects. Then there's that beginning of man sculpture that is on one of our bills.. the $20?

Yeah I would bring the conditioner if I was her... I heard a lot of Filipinas have problems with their hair getting brittle and no shine in Canada/US.. even Moose complained of his hair. She will need the heaviest moisturizing product she can get. I think part of it is that in the Phil they wash with cold water, and in Canada it's hot water, you don't get the shine with hot water unless you do a final cold rinse to close all those hair pores.
