Its complicated - Long distance relationship meeting?

I've know this guy since I was 12... yeah kinda young I know. We met on a web game. He's 3 years older then me. It started out as nothing, I didn't think it would turn into anything... it started out as him simply helping me... around 5 years later.... I am 17. He is 20 now, and I can say whole heartily I love him, have for the past 5 years and he has helped make me into the person I am today. He lives in California U.S.A, I live in Ontario Canada.

He came out and told me he loved me first after about a month and I said I loved him shortly after. We have been talking about meeting since the first couple months we met, and he didn't get a webcam until about a year and a half ago! He was not what I was expecting but I do love him even more now.

Now, next summer (July) , after I turn 18, have my own place and such, we have made the plan he will be coming down for about 10 days. We have a lot of plans :3

Now I want to know... has anyone gone threw this? Meeting their online relationship... I am really nervous but so excited! I can't figure out what more I am! I know him better then he knows me, and likewise... Has anyone gone threw this whole meeting each other... Advice would be nice, and your story too... how did it go?

Update:

My friends and family know him, one of my best friends his his brother and his sister . And yeah he loves me, he is always reminding me xD Everyone knows , and everyone is looking forward to meeting him when he comes to Canada to visit.

Update 2:

I meant I know him better then I know myself and likewise, he knows my little habits and strange things and such. And likewise

Update 3:

He does have his own Job, he is graduating college in the spring. We figured out though it costs way less to come to Canada than the U.S.

    Did you post something like this before?...

    Anyways..

    Youre young.. but you and him been talking for 5 years and you are soon to be 18..

    I am not going to say you should do this.. but I met this guy online before and we were talking for a while.. I didn't even web cam with him but we sent phone pictures. I thought I was in love, but I wasn't really. However, when I was 18,(he was older) I ended up moving to a town 45mins away from his city. We finally met up and everything went ok.. but then he changed and alot of the stuff he said online and over the phone started to change after the 3rd time we decided to meet up. I was young and realized he wasn't what I wanted..he was just a spontaneous wonder. I was in love with the idea of how long we stayed in contact online before seeing eachother and the cyber connection I thought was more. I should have left him where I met him.. The internet.

    Now I am engaged to someone else, who I also met online, but we took it slower and its really love. I am 21 years old now.

    A)Take your time

    B)Know exactly who you are talking to.. cyber connections can turn a whole new direction when reality kicks in.

    C) Youre young. Don't be so into a rush to let this older guy come stay sleep under the same roof with you so soon. It's ok that you have plans to spend time.. but at least just go out in public first before letting him stay over 10days. Take it slow. Let him get a hotel or something.. and cut it down to 5days. The next visit it can be more days. By the way, isnt he older? He should have job, or college to just miss 10days like that.. whats up with that?

    This can go really bad..be very cautious. Most online meetings/ interactions don't' work out since you've never actually been with that person. It's up to you if you want to meet, but be weary and chances are it will not work out since there isn't' a strong foundation.

    Make sure you let someone know, if not your parents a friend. Although you say you love him, make sure that in case he isn't what you expected you have someone to come round and help you out of a dodgy situation.

    Wait until you are 18.
