Patrick and Lisa - Our story
Arnold:
Hey Pat.... you better bring that Ceremomy to "Sunny" and "Warm" Cali and we could have Maxx there too. He would fit right in with the rest of the Folks in SC. Steaks for us and Taco's for Him.

There are two places I'll NEVER visit in the USA.
1), California. I KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt, that if I ever step foot on Californian soil, a massive earthquake will take place and California will fall into the ocean. So, I'm protecting California by staying away.
2) Yellowstone National Park... similar reason... don't want the supervolcano to explode, and I am sure it will if I decided to visit.
I feel relatively safe everywhere else. Probably won't visit Hawaii, but that just because I'd rather be stranded on a snow peaked mountainside than a tropical island paradise. ;D
JohnB:
congrats Patreek!
"..Probably won't visit Hawaii, but that just because I'd rather be stranded on a snow peaked mountainside than a tropical island paradise. ;D"
You can have the best of both and probably help pay part of the way with a few bar bets.
Ask the Big Kahuna
"..if tropical snow skiing is your bag, then Hawaii is the right place."

Gerry, thanks for that link. Unfortunately, NYC is just too far away. It is another 1 1/2 hours past PHL for me, which is already about an hour away. All this is dependent on traffic, of course. In the cities, there are times when traffic is very bad. Also, Lisa is much more comfortable with Guangzhou... she doesn't want to fly from Hong Kong. So it will need to be Guangzhou to Philly. I also use FareCompare, as well as several other sites to compare all possible flights. We'll find the best and cheapest one, I'm sure. It also needs to be a Star Alliance member so we can get our mileage.
We finished talking about the wedding date... it is official now, we plan on marrying May 31, as long as there are no difficulties in getting the marriage license. She will fly out to America on May 18, when the house I have under contract has closed and we have the renovations completed. I have a contractor friend who will do all the work for us. Closing should be April 18. 3-4 weeks of renovation on the house, then I will move in and hopefully have everything ready for them when they arrive.
