true..... my husband also bought some pair of jeans here in Phils. He said, it's less expensive here.Steph C said:Nooo! Buy your jeans in the Philippines. It's like shopping heaven for small people with short legs. You can get a pair for $12. Jeans in Canada can cost $100. And you will always have the extra expense of hemming the legs because they make them so long. Then for the other items, convince him to shop in the outlet malls in the US
You have to be the master of carry-on! As a woman you get a purse, a bonus, so you can have 1 backpack or rolling carryon, 1 purse, 1 laptop carried separately, and 1 book carried separately. Purses can be deceptively heavyRosey_L said:maybe ill just ask him to get me a sewing machine, and earn extra for hemming.hahaha! he's been dying to go to NY, but he promise, we'll go there together ;D now, i dont know how i can fit all my things on 2 x 23kgs :
I always stuff my heaviest items in the purse, then the carry on.. Jeans are surprisingly heavy too.
haha... yeah... that's also my problem but since my husband is here with me, I'll grab his luggage for my things...Rosey_L said:maybe ill just ask him to get me a sewing machine, and earn extra for hemming.hahaha! he's been dying to go to NY, but he promise, we'll go there together ;D now, i dont know how i can fit all my things on 2 x 23kgs :
Yes my guy also got jeans.. I didn't want him to get here and realize he's short.. he thinks he is tallWoodyKatie said:true..... my husband also bought some pair of jeans here in Phils. He said, it's less expensive here.
In the Philippines he is tall..
so glad.. he doesn't have ex...Steph C said:Yeah, so his AOM said his name and the name of his ex, and that was fine
Oh no! If he's anything like mine he thinks the purse is a place to keep all his things he doesn't want in his pocket! Then he impatiently asks me to hand him the things he put there. I'm not responsible for anything put in the purse! It's like a black hole.. so hard to find things in there.WoodyKatie said:haha... yeah... that's also my problem but since my husband is here with me, I'll grab his luggage for my things...
thanks for the idea, ill put my jeans on the carry on. ;D wonder how much it'll cost to get extra baggage at 23kg.Steph C said:You have to be the master of carry-on!

inquired thru one shipping company, it'll be at $100 per box, min of 3 boxes. i dont have that much to send.Steph C said:
so mad at myself, I am pretty good at making sure everything is right.... Must have been the jet lag
I think the idea is that when they get the envelope they can scan the barcode on the letter so they know who the passports are from. Did you include a file number with your passports? I mean you think they could figure it out if not..auditt said:Last time I paid for a third bag with Cathay, it was $150 plus tax. That was from Toronto to Manila.
I am flying back now, sitting in Hong Kong. I just read the latest, and I am such a idiot, I never include the printed out letter when I sent in the passports. I never saw that last line! I am so worried now. I just emailed them to let me know how to get it to them
I think they do that on purpose. We almost missed it too and then rushed to print it out and add it to the envelope.auditt said:Last time I paid for a third bag with Cathay, it was $150 plus tax. That was from Toronto to Manila.
