Finally, after American Airlines cancelled our previously purchased ticket, we found a flight for Meryll to leave this week. She is to arrive early Thursday morning at O'Hare. Because of visa delays we have not seen each other in person for 400 days.
Our friend informed me that Meryll got on the PAL flight scheduled to leave at 10:30 PM April 23rd Manila time. I am impatiently waiting for her call from the POE airport.
I will leave in about 7 hours to pick her up in Chicago.

Thank you.
Everything is still new and exciting to Meryll. I was woke up early Monday morning as there was an unusually late snowfall. So I showed her how to catch snowflakes with your tongue.
After the college semester ends next week we will start the AOS process.
