TRAVEL PREPARATIONS

[DARUMA07 25]

i must admit i'm having a hard time choosing what shoes to bring and what not to bring. i soooooooo love my shoes.. my cousins have flocked over my shoes since yesterday!! hahaha..and they're all over my jeans too!! hahaha...i guess i have to accept the fact i can't bring my whole closet with me.

you think bringing a box is too much?

I thought I was going to have to lease a cargo ship to bring Ruchies stuff over here..

what box do you mean? give me your number on private message.. I will ask my friend who brought a lot of her stuff and I will call you.

same to you girl, I love shoes..my hubby said he married the second Imelda Marcos..lol..I just gave most of my shoes and clothes too cause I am afraid that my hubby will have a heart attack if he will see my luggage at hte airport..lol just think na lang na mabibili mo na lng mga gamit mo dto.. sabi nga nila pag palagi ka nagbibigay mas malaki ang balik..di ba?

a balikbayan box? hahaha..i know, this sound crazy..i guess i over packed?

or should i just opt to bring one suitcase..

may NCLEX books pa kasi akong inilagay sa box kaya i think it was reasonable to bring one. if i pack it all in the suitcase, for sue excess weight yun..i dont wanna bring 2 suitcase either..

Balikbayan boxes are allowed but still subject to the 23kg limit. Books are allowed but they must be original. Photocopied books as well as burned copies of reviewers are not allowed.

my books are all originals so i guess wala akong problema dun jose rizal right? do they open it (the box) if they want to check if it's original or not? kasi if they do, might as well re-packed my things kasi i placed the books on the very bottom part of the box..what do you think?

Just to be on the safe side, get balikbayan bags so that you can put locks on them instread of sealing them with packing tape because it'll be easier that way to open the boxes if needed. Also, these bags give added protection to your boxes as they tend to rip apart during handling.

i'll do that..thanks jose rizal..you're my hero! hahaha..joke..

really, thanks, i saw the balikbayan bag when i bought my bbb but i didn't like the colors available, i asked for an orange or red, all they have were seaweed green, black and blue. i want something that would stand out so i wont have a hard time looking for it in the conveyor, so i guess i'll be shopping around for those colors middle of this week..gotta get my a$$ ready, just 7 more days left, i'm leaving on the 10th.

That's why my balikbayan bag is colored pink! And I'm a guy! Actually it was given to me by my wife. The other one is the plain balck style.

*are the immigration staff friendly?

*is hawaii a good POE (based on personal experience if any..)

*i have 4hours until my flight to Las Vegas from Hawaii, IS THAT ENOUGH TIME for immigration process/clearing?

*do i get my bag BEFORE i head for immigration (POE interview or something) or AFTER?

*do i need to check in my luggage AGAIN for my flight to Las Vegas?

*do i need to pay for excess baggage from hawaii to las vegas since this is already a domestic flight? (considering the domestic flight baggage allowance..)

*is hawaii airport that big for me to literally get LOST? lol..i know this sounds silly..

hi mj3lasvegas.. can i borrow your questions? i intend to post the same questions because those are my current worries. i just need to change hawaii to LAX as POE. thanks a lot!
