Visits one thing live their and watch the change. It won’t be a change you’ll like either.

$10,000 won't be enough unless you cut expenses all the time. You better add at least 50% more just to have a decent holiday.

My wife and I lived in several places where it snowed, and she was always fascinated with it because that just does not exist anywhere in the PI. One of the last things she did before she passed away was build a snowman in our front yard. Doesn't snow that often in Vancouver WA so she wouldn't pass up an opportunity to play in the snow.

I brought my Filipina to Canada in the middle of winter, and she was very excited to touch snow. She got her chance and loved it. She says that she is always cold in winter, but she still enjoys shoveling snow when we have a storm. It's been 17 years and she's still here, so I guess it's not too bad. I said I wanted to retire in the Philippines and build a Neepa Hut. She said absolutely not. So I guess we're stuck in Canada.

Regarding a visit, my guess is that $15,000 would cover it, but even then, you'd have to be careful. Regarding moving there, what has not been mentioned at all is the considerable future financial benefits that would accrue to Mae (and her new SS#) if she resides in the U.S. for awhile, and, the medical benefits to you should some traumatic/major health event occur that demands treatment in the States. To my mind, it would be worth getting a spousal visa for Mae now, so both of you can come and go, USA-Philippines, as you please (Mae wants to see her family), and she becomes eligible for those financial benefits, AND, should you need urgent medical care in the States, both you and Mae can be together while that's happening. Imagine if you had to fly back to the States to get treated for cancer, and Mae can't join you for a year while the visa is getting processed, and you also have to manage the visa process from afar while being mostly incapacitated. Think about that. And think about the worst-case scenario in this regard - you die before they let her come to the States. You die, without the person you love the most at your side. Look, not trying to be the black cloud over the parade here, but there are tremendous pluses to both you and Mae individually, and as a couple, living in the States at this point in your relationship and going back to the Philippines as needed/desired. You might want to give more consideration to that option.

Here are some of my reasons why America is great. Obviously we are far from perfect as a society but there is no better place to live in the world Economic opportunities, Higher education Cultural diversity Entertainment industry Natural beauty Innovative technology Start-up culture World-renowned healthcare Professional sports International cuisine Quality of life Ease of travel Business-friendly environment Expansive retail options Philanthropy and volunteerism Art and cultural events Climate variety Iconic landmarks Strong economy Music scene Educational opportunities for children Accessible public services The American dream Amusement parks Iconic road trips Food trucks State fairs Quirky festivals Yard sales and flea markets Wildlife encounters

For someone who has never experienced the snow I would highly recommend trying out skiing at a nice resort. It’s the only time I enjoy cold weather

Definitely….its a wonderful country….filled with opportunities….😊

Hopefully, Mae can see a part of the west coast. As for a trip in march, Mae might be able to see snow if you visit a national park while you are in Nevada. We did and we were going to see a canyon in one of the parks, but it was a white out(March 22, 2016). I could not see the canyon, only a few trees and beyond that it was snow. We did the park tour from Vegas. Headed down to grand canyon, monument valley, then on to 4 corners, and a few others. It was a nice trip and not that bad price wise because we were not in Vegas too much.

Good luck travelling is not cheap 😊

Paul @ 11:30 you took the words out of my mouth having lived in Henderson just outside of Vegas. She would love the Caesars Palace Bacchanal Buffet !

It would be an absolutely mind blowing event for her compared to what she’s lived her whole life. She has always seen the homeless, but she’s never really set her eyes on the type of construction that we have in the US.

Baby Mae, visiting the USA will be fun for you. Enjoy

She would love Vegas! I sure hope you vlog it all and share with us all her excitement!!

In the winter, you should be near snow in the high desert. There should be quite a few areas to see and touch snow.

Today With Baby Mae Your content is great I love how well you'll get along with each other. How you're coming up with a plan to come here so she can see the things that she wanna see that's gonna be amazing experience for her and she'll never forget it, and she'll be grateful and thankful. It's amazing to be with somebody and you know they really love you and care about you. And it shows in your eyes when they smile. You guys are really in love and I love to see that I really do you deserve it? Both of you deserve love and I hope you guys have a great day and I'll see you again on my next is Cedric Nash. I'm your biggest friend.

HI MAE and PAUL, What a great idea to visit the states. The fact that MAE would like to see your family speaks to her character. Can t help you with cost on the west coast , since I live on the EAST coast , VERY near to NYC. TY MAE for this and all your videos. HAPPY EASTER GOD BLESS CIAO

You both better get on your knees: you found gold in each other ❤

Paul that that would be a wonderful vacation for your wife 👍 🇺🇸

Baby Mae- Yes you should visit the United States. Push that old geezer Paul to spend three weeks in the United States instead of two weeks as travel to/from the Philippines is a big part of the cost. I suggest you travel in April after Spring Break is over. I would suggest that New York City is a very special place to visit. The city, the restaurants, the sights, and the museums are all well worth it. If Paul wants to stay in the West then a trip up to San Francisco, Yosemite, and Lake Tahoe (you can try snowboarding or even tubing on the snow. and yes Baby Mae can wear her bikini in the snow in April!) Maybe a trip to Zion National Park which is only 4 hours from Las Vegas. The Redwoods are unforgettable, either in Muir Woods, close to SF; the Humboldt Redwoods three hours north of SF, or Kings & Sequoia south of Yosemite. Yosemite National Park should be on the list. 120-meter tall trees are a sight to behold. The Falls will be raging in April as the snow melt is epic by then. Maybe you'll even see a bear there. Finally, Washington DC is also a special place to see and understand the USA, the memorials, museums, white house, and the Capitol Building are amazing. Itinerary- Days 1-3 New York City Days 4-6 Washington DC Days 7-10 Las Vegas and Zion (Rent a car there. Drop-off charges are much lower these days) Days 11-14 Los Angeles Days 15-17 Drive up Hwy 101 through Santa Barbara into Monterey (Visit the aquarium there) and then over to Yosemite National Park Days 18-19 Lake Tahoe for playing in the snow Days 20-22 San Francisco (Chinatown, a ferry ride on the bay (cheaper than sightseeing), Golden Gate Park, GG Bridge, wine country) Days 23-24 (Return car) Fly Home Five iconic American Cities (NYC, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles & San Francisco) Two iconic National Parks (Zion, Yosemite) + the redwoods! Budget: Airfare for two: $1,600 Car rental for two weeks: $400 (Weekly rentals are much less. Book the car rental away from airport) Gas & Parking: $300 Hotels (21 nights @ an average of $150 including taxes ) $3,150 Food: 22 days at $80 a day: $1,760 Misc: 22 days @ $35 = $770 Total: $7,980 Assumes a couple of nice meals, budget but decent hotels, outside of the city center. Picnic lunches when possible. Splurge upgrades (for two people): Half-price tickets to a Broadway show: $160 Tickets to a Las Vegas Show: $150

Very cute to hear from a person in another country give their impressions of America. Bikini on the CA slopes in spring can be warm. Temps can be in the 70's. It's a great season. I ski in shorts and tee shirt but you have to be careful of sunburn.

I spent 35 years working on “Hollywood Movies” and I am going to retire in the province of visayas ❤😂🇺🇸

There is a trade off between living in the United States or the Philippines. For me, it just depends what type of lifestyle you want to live. My type of lifestyle is in the PH.

That is a good plan to visit america, i think all filipina married forigner or BF wanted to experience also to live in your country and most meet family. Godluck Mae and Godbless

That would be exciting for you dai Mae 😁 visit our place even short time hehe

It’s my realistic view that it would take 3 weeks and $15k, not high end anything. The costs are much higher in reality.

From Vegas jump on I-15 and head north to Cedar City,Utah and from there up to the ski resort Brian Head, Utah. 70 inches of snow there as I type in late March 2024.

Krazy Buffet (Chinese) on West Sahara. Makino (sushi) on South Decatur. Buffet @ Asia (Chinese) on West Sahara. South Point Hotel/ Casino.

I was in Vegas in 2022. I was staying in my motorhome at Circus Circus RV lot. I have since sold the motorhome. However I did drive around and checked out a motel on Boulder Hwy. I went to one called "Town & Country Manor II". There two Town & Country places. The one I checked out was 4360 Boulder Hwy. The place was only $400 for 8 days. It had a kitchen in the room, pool, etc. However you had to bring your own pillows, sheets, and blankets. Although it did come with pots, pans, plates, forks, etc. It is a ways from the strip but, an excellent price. My guess is the price has gone up some since 2022 but, it is still probably one of the best deals there in my opinion.

Sure. Do what you want. Travel and enjoy the sight seeing. It's definitely a nostalgia tour for Paul. I say mix in looking for something new, and new places you haven't been.

In Vegas, I like staying at The Mirage hotel. Especially during the week day. It's situated in the center of the strip and next to high end amazing hotels. You can get a good deal during the week (Sun to Thursday). You're next to MGM and the Venician. Make sure you show her one of the engineering marvels that is Hoover Dam. It's an amazing hydro power plant. It only takes a couple of hours to see from Vegas and take pictures. Don't need to take a tour unless you want to. You can be back at the casino in a few hours.

Visiting is fine but America is not the same .....Extremely expensive to live here now .

If you are in Vegas, there are so many scenic spots to blow her away. Red Rocks, Valley of Fire, Death Valley, Hoover Damn, Grand Canyon, snow close by at Mt. Charleston . . . All places I look forward to showing to my Filipina. The one major hurdle you didn't mention is her visa.

Bring her on! Mine's been here almost half a year. It's non stop entertainment!

Hey Paul...you should at least try to squeeze in Yosemite or Grand Canyon if at all possible...nothing is greater than America's National Parks system.

Great video, looking forward to all the videos you make on your trip. Thank you.

You were at the Troubadour in the '70's? Oh, man! I'm so envious! There was so much good music there back then.

I would think about Intentionally budgeting high. Maybe 20k then working back towards a real number budget. Seems like 10k would go really quick with the car and the flights and I assume you can't get one of those $300 a week extended stay deals.

$10k USD, 500k pesos was my estimate too for 2 weeks because of vacation mode. And that's fairly basic. You'd also want to be here when the sights you want to see were available.

Great video Mae. Loved your new friend there. He kinda looks like another guy there I subscribe to. Anyway have a great day guys 😂❤

I think the easiest way to "see the snow" would be; drive to the Palm Springs (100 miles from LA) and go on the tram. You will be sweating due to the heat at the bottom. 15 minutes later you are on the top of Mt. San Jacinto. You put your on coat, hat, gloves and walk around in the snow. Yes, there is a Jollibee in Panorama City.

For Mae to see everything she needs to see y'all will never have to leave California. CA has literally everything. But prepared to throw down some dineros. Aside from the Hollywood sign I would stay the hell out of L.A. Between the crime, drugs and homeless pop there it makes Angeles City look like Beverly Hills. I'm biased, but if it was me I'd take Mae to the Mammoth Lakes Sierra if she wants to see and play in the snow. That's about as far removed from the riff-raff as you can get, and it is absolutely gorgeous country. And just the trip up there will allow her to see three different ecologies in the span of a few hours -- coastline to the L.A. Basin to the mountains to the desert and back up into the high mountains. Mae does need to experience the high desert; the difference in humidity alone would probably stun her senses. So will the bone-chilling cold if you take her to the top of Mammoth Mtn. The scenery you and Mae will see on the gondola is worth the price of admission. If that doesn't humble you you're dead. Fall down.

Wouldn't it be nice to drive - from Las Vegas to have a look at Grand Canyon - it will be something she hasn't seen before. Just a day-trip.

Yes build the little house then look forward to the trip to America, think May is so grounded u found the right one for you Paul, xx

Paul: what address would you use for your US driver's license since you don't live there? Would your virtual mailbox work for that? Experiencing snow--I think there is a place on the island of Cebu where they have a bunch of animals, including a penguin area where they make snow and people can go through it. I remember seeing a YT video about it a while back. As far as places to visit, I'd recommend Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Las Vegas (including visiting at night with all the lights), Hoover Dam, Sequoia National Park (close to Yosemite) with all the huge trees (with one big enough to drive a car through the trunk of the tree).

It would be good for Maes future to get her US citizenship. She would be eligible for Citizenship at the 3 year mark, from the date on her Green card. I brought my Filipina wife here to Michigan in September of 2023.

Paul love your video's and Baby Mae's. Have a question for you I am moving there right around the 3rd of Aug. and would like to know how can I send about 2 or 3 boxes of things there when I don't have a place to live as of yet? As of now I am planning on 2 checked bags a carry on and my personal bag but have a few things I can't leave here. Because my move is fulltime I have no family here in the states any longer. Thanks for any help Paul S.

Yes, Paul should move you to America long enough for you to become a citizen (3 to 5 years). Then move back to the Philippines. During that time in America, you can travel to Philippines to visit many times......

YES JUST VISIT

Hi Mae & Paul , nothing wrong with visiting but of course the thought of expense is a down side but the pure facts are Paul is there with you and happily married and you enjoy life there in Philippines and always have the chance going to Thailand and many other close Asian countries. From listening to Paul he has always got a very measured look at living, be guided by your husband Mae ,take care & God Bless.

Might think abut heading a little south and visit the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff for the snow. Korean air flies Inchon to Vegas direct once a week.

Happy Easter Mae ( Mary Jane),and Paul the old dog, have a good day, your Aussie Mate 😎❤

Hi Paul, I used to live in Vegas and used to stay at a hotel called "Arizona Charlie" and it's really affordable granted is not on the strip (but close by) to where you would spend a lot more! as for rental cars it always vary's in price so it's hard to get a definite price. Hope you two will have fun and make more memories along with Baby Mae!☺

Loved your video

Get married again in Vegas at the drive through wedding. It's really hard to lock in prices as they change so much depending on supply and demand and what's going on in town. Grand Canyon?, ATV desert trip?, boat on Colorado River? Hot air balloon ride? Helicopter ride. My favorite place to stay is Golden Nugget with the sharks in the $20,000,000 swimming pool, they have cheap rooms and expensive rooms, Google it, Fremont street is the best with free bands playing. One of the best buffets is at the Station Casino just North West of Fremont Street walking distance. Disneyland? Catalina Island? Queen Mary? Golden Corral buffet the best buffet in the USA. Anyway hope you have fun wish you could stay longer and do more things, last year when I was in PHP I wanted to go see the underground river in Palawan but my kids were sick so we could not go so it is still on my bucket list.

Good Video Baby Mae and Paul 😊. Take her to a Casino Buffet. Keep the video's comin. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

I think a trip is amazing idea. Its one of those funny things that people there live in paradise with a tight family system and want to visit here, yet we desire the tropical life there. Just like how Filipinas want to be lighter and US girls want to be tan. To me nothing more fun than doing an old-fashioned American road trip and seeing some national parks, visiting family. In and out of LAX, use Priceline for and other sites for hotels, you can have a lot of fun for $10k. Rental car $700, airfare $1000/ea, gas $500 or so, and hotels maybe $150/night. Honestly i think $7k should cover it with food cravings and everything for a few weeks, especially seeing how frugal you both can live there. Dont be too distracted by Jolibee inflation prices, people overpay there if they are home sick! Appreciate the little things, go have fun.

Wow, that sounds like an exciting trip! Im sure Mae would really enjoy all of that!

I really enjoyed this episode yall have become my friends and I always look forward to seeing your new content;warmest regards to you both 😇❤️🌴😎maybe someday we will meet Lord willing. Until then stay healthy happy and take good care of one another.

I use Expedia they will track prices for you once you identify a hotel and airline you want to travel with. I stay away from car renting and use Uber but it sounds you will need a car for what you want to accomplish Good luck. You are both welcome to spent a winter with me in Massachusetts if May wants to see snow

In Breckenridge, CO, in the winter on warmer days women will actually ski in their bikinis.

The Mirage in Vegas during the week day you can stay for as low as $ 69 a nite. Maybe lower. It's a great hotel located in the center of the strip next to the MGM and Venician hotels. I like to plan my Vegas stays Sunday to Thursday when possible. It's so much less crowded and expensive yet still so much fun. Your Vegas shows will be less as well on the weekdays! Unfortunately all is expensive... Rental cars around $ 70 per day ish for a compact car.

Yes, a visit would be a great opportunity for you to experience how Americans live their daily routines...have a great trip!

Rental cars are high now about 40 to 50 dollars a day.

It would be a better opportunity for Mae to move to America get work , get a 401K , perhaps stock options , get her 40 quarters in under Social Security etc. The problem is America had become unaffordable and in your case Paul are you going back to work? Can you afford rent here? Buy a home here? The homeowners insurance will eat up your disposable income. Visit yes , and btw we have a Jolibee about 10 miles from us a 10 piece bucket of chicken is $41.00. Go to Pollo Tropical which is a healthier chicken and you can get a family meal for $19.00 , even a little less if you ask for a senior discount which Jollibees does not offer. Instead of hotels rent an AirB& B cheaper , more privacy and with you own kitchen you can make your own food. Good luck

Would be interesting her take on the USA compared to the Philippines. She could get lots of bikinis in the US. Would be so exciting for her. Food is outrageous here now.

Just the other day on Paul's channel i suggested that a permanent move to the US was a bad idea. A 2 or 3 week visit would probably be a great idea. Just the curiosity factor and see that there is no trees with $100 bills growing on them.

The Chinese Theater area is not impressive….it was run down and that was about 25 years ago. I can’t imagine with the homeless problem what it’s like now…😮

AirBnB might be a good choice in some areas price wise, I think you will be surprised by the cost of Las Vegas now. Good thing is if you miss Filipino food there are lots of places now to get good food. Maybe by the time you two come back Mt Charleston lodge will be built again since it burnt down a few years ago. I use enterprise for car rental not a bad price if you pick up in the afternoon and drop off in the morning as the prices change depending on time of day. If you plan on any national parks check their websites since many now require reservations now

Would like to see you travel to USA too. Do you have a visa already?

No. I would miss all your videos showing the beauty in the Philippines. 🙂

AirBnB a few days at each location be the best but they probably cheaper on the East coast i never tried the West coast yet

America is a better place to live if you can afford it but not on social security income only

Yes

You and your husband are much safer there. Believe me

Hi!...I hope that Baby Mae gets a chance to visit the USA. I'm sure she would love it.🇨🇦

sure, go visit america and have fun.. many places to see and enjoy. Of course moving to America can be very very expensive...

You guys are great. it won’t matter where you live!

Yes.

If in California besides Hollywood take her to Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and Big Sur. Of course then take her to the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. While in Vegas a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and also take her to Hoover Dam. Because you are so close to the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert in Arizona you can do that by car and on the way back stop in Palm Springs. All of this is where you used to live.

Hey Paul I think the best blow them away attraction from my experience is when they walk up to the edge of the grand canyon. Of course Disneyland I know that is in Mae's mind.

Great video, and sounds like a fun trip. I think $10k is probably close to a good number for a two week trip. Good luck!!!

Come on up! You can stay at our house. You can learn lake effect snow! My Executive old boss is a Philippino at the Casino. There is a baseball museum and Canada is close as well.

Yes, you will love America ❤❤❤❤😂

she'll get homesick and have to go back.

Hi, been all over America, really. You can tour some online. Kings Canyon "Giant Stump", Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia trees. General Grant, General Sherman, Grizzly Giant, and hundreds of other giant trees you should be able to find online. Wish you both well.

If your just visiting. Yes you will drop sme money quickly. Vegas has Village Pub at Ellis Island great food cheaply. PRIME RIB under 20 bucks, steak and eggs.12. 99 All other places in Vegas super expensive. Go to Zion National Park she will love it.

In Vegas Mae might like the M&M store and the Coca-Cola-Store, maybe Hoover Dam and The Valley of Fire State Park (might be too far away if so Red Rock Canyon). Also might want to look at pictures on Google maps to get an idea of places you want to see.

I was going to say it would take two weeks

I recently priced a vacation to Vegas online for 4 nights hotel, plane, rental car was about $3800. I will save it for my Thailand trip for 3 weeks stay instead. 😂

Good luck trying to get a tourist visa most are denied

Vegas has changed so much since you have been there and more changes to come.....

it depends on what size rental car you want and for how long , if you want the extra insurance etc....in Michigan a midsize runs about $50 per day....not counting the insurance.no disrespect but once you are married your husband takes priority over your family....it almost sounds like you put your family first and your husband second????? That is not what the bible says.,,,,especially in a predomately Catholic country., Happy Easter btw...I know this was your holy week there.

for a visit YES, to live NO, there would be no real beneift if Mae were to live here. Living there can be as good as in the USA.

is she going for a tourist visa?

Paul, question. What are the requirements for a spouse to collect your Ssi once someone passes?

If you are coming in a year you should get started on Mae's greed card. It took us 18.5 months to get my wife here in the USA

Thats a hard decision. If your talking about visiting then yes definitely. If your talking about moving here to live then you have to consider a lot of things. Do you have kids that want to come or do they want to stay. To me I want to live close to my son and daughter so I can be there to watch them grow and learn. And cost of living is higher here in the US. But do what will make your lives the happiest together! You are an amazing couple and I want whats best for you both!

As vacation it would be great.But to live there i don't think so with cost of living in states you have hard time making it.

Is Paul finally having the Paradise Syndrome wear off? Man, think long about coming back here Paul. First the only way would be a B-2 (?) "marriage" visa. She would have to stay IN USA for some years without leaving to get her "green card". A tourist visa to visit might be very difficult to get the first time. If you move back, get ready, coz this country has really changed and not in a good way.. People are scared, angry, and wore out for a myriad of reasons.
