<blockquote rel="amcasperforu">repost ko lang.. since napag uusapan na rin about fares

guys need help..

i checked with iom and they provided me a quote for two

exhange rate of 43.80

USD416 x 2 = USD 832 (PHP36.441.60)

Travel tax incl phil tax = PHP19, 878 (PHP 9,939 / person)

total of PHP36,441.60 + PHP19,878 = PHP56,319.60

Tama po ba ito? parang ang mahal. esp dun sa travel tax?

please share your thoughts po. For Feb 2014 fare.</blockquote>

That is way too expensive! Kami PAL, around 80k, 3 adults, 2 kids 1 infant. Yung infant with seat pa yun ha...

<blockquote rel="hard2handle">Hi, All!

Buhayin ko lang po itong thread. Any inputs naman po please re sending things (used personal items) from Pinas to Aus (Melbourne in particular).

Isip kasi namin ng wife ko dalhin ang mga pwedeng madala na sure naman magagamit sa Aus para less gastos especially on a tight budget. This is kung di magkasya sa ibibigay na baggage allowance ng IOM whether 40-60kgs each passenger pa. Mga items we're thinking are comforter, mga handed-down winter jackets. We're thinking bagging and vacuuming them to save space. Pero ang main consideration parin is what if mag-excess sa 60kgs each... Any suggested seafreight/airfreight company please?

Thank you.</blockquote>

Hi hard2handle, you can use DHL, 7500 for a 25kilo box. I only recommend sending stuff if you think that the stuff you can put in a single box is personally important to you (i.e, wedding albums etc) AND worth twice or more than the cost of sending 1 box.

Mahirap din mamili dito lalu na kung kararating mo lang at wala ka pa masyadong alam sa paligid ligid. Mapapagastos ka pa sa taxi dahil hassle magbus kung shopping galore ka....

hello po

thanks sa inputs, will consider these, lalo na ung DHL.

no kids pa pala kami, couple pa lng.

@jayp thank you din sa info. 🙂 So kahit yung baby book nalang na nanduon yung dates ng vaccine administer okay na yun? They don't require the doctor's certification? If so, that's good news. It's so hassle to get certification, especially if you don't get the vaccine from one doctor only. Thank you.

I think so. Pero siguro just to make sure just get a medical cert from your pedia if you can, baka iba maging case mo sken, hehe... I believe when you get vaccine they put a sticker, yung galing sa vaccine, on you baby book, yun ang proof of vaccine kasi...

bluemist

@jayp thanks again for the info 🙂

yes baby book will do

bluemist

@JCsantos that's great sir. Thanks for the info. 🙂

<blockquote rel="jayp"><blockquote rel="bluemist">hello po, ask ko lang po for those with kids and for enrollment sa school. Ano po kailangan kong immunization documents ng kid for submission to medicare? Para ma register ko sa immunization register, which is a school requirement? TIA 🙂</blockquote>

Hi bluemist, base on recent experience, we brought our kids baby books including a certification from our Ph pedia. I had it photocopied (cost mo 10 aud at auspost) and certified (for free) at a Justice of Peace here. When we went to the clinic (they're the ones who'll send the records to the immunisation registry) all they did is just check the baby books and thats it. So dont bother certifying it. Just bring records that will show your kids immunisation.

Hope this helps.

this is very informative, ite-take note ko to hehehe

hi guys, ask ko lang sa mga may babies na pumunta ng AU. how much ba ang allowed na water and milk for the baby? dba more than 10 hrs. din yata ang byahe from pinas, or 7 hrs from sg (not sure saan kami manggagaling ni baby), di ko alam if pwde kami mag dala ng kahit 1 can of milk, and pwde i.handcarry, pati na rin distilled water.

Please advice po kung paano kayo bumyahe with all those stuffs na needed ni baby.

Last time nun nagtour kami, sa airline nalang kami humingi ng hot water. yung gatas, bali sakto lang yung dinala namin for the entire duration of travel, baka kasi matapon lang sa customs ng au. sa Oz nalang kami bumili ng gatas 🙂

problema ko lang, sanay sa distilled na di mainit na water ang baby ko. Pero meron naman yata silang bottled water, bibili nalang sa airline. Regarding sa milk mukhang itatapon ng sa customs, kagaya ng napanood ko sa border security 🙁

feeling ko pwede naman eh... these are processed food naman and most importantly delata so ayus lang.

strict sila sa gatas, fresh fruits, dried meat, etc...
