    He is not sick, he has work, that's why he can't pick her up at the airport . that was Sheng said ..i'm sad that she has to go through all those after waiting for a long time.As a woman, What a Joy it would be when i step down from plane and Future husband is waiting for me outside with arms open wide and with some family members .

    Well Nickel, thanks for clearing that up, I don't know what to say, I just cannot comprehend how someone would not pick their loved one up at the airport because of work commitments, Its beyond belief, I would have quit my job to pick the wife up at the airport, just shocking.

    I'm lost for words, which in itself is very unusual :)

    oh well, i am seeing that too, to happen again, like the first time i picked him up at T1 in Manila lol.long smoochies , and wait, the towel we talked about to be shared by us when we see each other the first time would be lots of tears of joy,was forgotten!!!

    can't help but share what my future husband's thought on this 4 train rides

    "he can not think much of her If he is letting him do that her selve that to her will be a strange land .If that had been you i would have met you right of the plane. He should have got her to get the plane to Manchester airport. . it cant be doing well if hes counting his pennies. He should make sure his wife gets there safe and easy.The penny pinching git"

    Yes me too, Anne. Why did he book her flight to Heathrow when Manchester is so much closer and then expect her to make her way from Heathrow to Lancaster train station with heavy baggage all by herself. This is a daunting prospect at the best of times, far more so for someone who hasn't set foot in this country before. If he has used up all his paid holiday time then he should take unpaid leave for a few days to meet her and help her settle-in. He is no gentleman.

    I'm baffled as to what is going on here, I agree with what you say, a journey from London to Lancaster by train after a gruelling flight, throw in the heavy baggage and the lack of local knowledge, not a very good start in a new country at all.

    I hope we here some news to put our minds at rest.

    I am more baffled because from what i know he owns the company himself, and to my understanding if i am the owner i could find a way so i could go as this is a once in a lifetime experience.I hope Lady Sheng has enough travel allowance, and some more money tucked in her waist , in case she misses the train and needed to buy another ticket.

    the wife explicitly said that I should be visible as soon as she has gone through customs. Of course I didn't need telling, I was itching to see her as soon as I could. I had to wait as she was one of the last to come through (customs checking her bags) but I could tell she was nervous because she dumped herself and all her bags right in the middle of the arrivals hall ...awkward haha :D

    when my lady came over on a visit visa--july 2013--i waited at heathrow t5 arrivals for her--she texted to say she had arrived. i thought i saw her--but she was with another family. she saw me though--and walked over to me--laughing. the others were simply fellow passengers saying goodbye to her.
    on the way home--road repairs on the M25 slowed things a bit too much--and we missed the last ferry that night. 3 hour wait till the next early one. only too happy to be together again--after nearly a year apart that was the start of 5 months together.

    been apart 14 months his time--so far.

(luckily while waiting for 6 hours in Singapore Changi, there is a free internet, my fiancee and his father message me the best train i should ride) I arrived Heathrow 6am and so cold. i asked in the information area where is going to Heathrow underground train to Picadilly, I feel worried that time thinking that it will be far to walk,, But thru Elevator there is a guide going to underground train station, Luckily when i got there, i saw a Picadilly line, It just near as i expected, i thought i might get lost touring around every terminal in Heathrow... I asked where i can buy a Picadilly ticket, then it is.. Picadilly line to GreenPark,, I drop in Green park,, giving me a LONDON UNDERGROUND LONDON TUBE MAP... Green Park to Victoria line, when i arrived Green Park, i feel hesitate where i will going, because there is Victoria line to Southwest and there is North,, looking arounds in the green park, watching and studying there trains ways, i was really hesitate "is this really the right train to Victoria??"... a bit prayers and i realize i will going North i go to Victoria line to North, and then when im already in train, it shows their stop stations, i there it is, a Euston Station,, I made it, i drop by Euston Station,,, It takes me a 30 minuted i guess looking which way to Euston Station!! I was thinking its not the "Way out" signboard, coz im not going out, I will going to buy ticket Euston to Lancaster... luckily for 30 minutes carrying my luggage and been around and around, i saw a security i asked where i can buy ticket to Lancaster,, Lols they said i should go to the "WAY OUT",, lols i did it thru stairs going up.. and its so heavy lols. no escalator... In my way out i saw a Queue it a big Queue id been waiting for a minutes and then when im already in the cashier they said "oh dear you cant buy it hear, you can buy that tickey to the main" lols, what a Queue for almost 45 minutes,, Gosh,, I asked where is going to main, and just near by to "way out" there it is, I saw the Euston Train Station i saw in Youtube, with a departure and arrival Boardside looks like im in the airport,, lots of Shop every corner,,, From Euston i buy ticket Euston going to Glusgow and drop by in the Lancaster in the Virgins trains. Ill wait in the train for a minute, his not there, thinking he didnt know im not arrived yet, since i didnt email him when im in Euston, my phone low battery, and then when i arrived Lancaster its so cold than Euston and Heathrow.. I already feel cold.. I look around the train station and watching the trains way, I saw there is a Lancaster to Barrow in Furness a violet train, waiting for 30 minutes to depart,, So i buy a ticket in a ticket machine. and go to the information and asked when this train is? and which flat i will wait?? which way??... and there a violet train waiting for me, hahahhaha... before i board on the train, i try to open my phone and get his number and call him in the phone booth in the train station, He is also worried where i am and his dad is nagging him where i am, his dad is also worried, hahahha,, Well Im already going to Barrow in a minute, so He immediately go there and waiting me in the Barrow train station, ohhh i really enjoy the view, while in the train watching the Islands and the seas, the houses near the sea,,. and Finally im Arrived,, "Barrow Station" this is the end of my Train Journey,, When i go out in the train, i saw him then, his waiting outside in the railway in a cold weather, ohhhh Big hug.
    All he says is "you made it mahal ko", "Your a clever lady, im so proud of you",, dad is keep on calling me, where are you, he suggested that i will pick you up in the euston, but i feel hesitate that you are already in train going to Lancaster, im worried that if you arrived in Lancaster im not around because im going to Euston so i better wait your call and stay in put. and you Did it, Im so pround of you.."
