“Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.”

From Davao to Sydney - Php 15,000 for 2 boxes of 20kg each. Took about 4 business days lang. I was happy kasi door to door na. But the sad thing about it is they opened the box (not sure where, if Davao, Manila, Hongkong or here in Sydney) and some items are missing. Di naman importante or mamahalin pero kasi parts ng scooter ng anak ko yun at bago pa. Matagal din ang feedback kung ano talaga ang nangyari. Siguro kasi ang daming dinaanang lugar. Nagpadala pako ng pictures ng items na nawala, eh wala naman akong photos ng ibang miscellaneous items. Sana lang makita nila ang ibang parts ng scooter if not, nakaka disappoint.

Ito naman samin, family of 3. We were thinking of buying additional big check in luggage, but a good one is quite expensive and space consuming so we opted for large boxes na lang.
2 XXL boxes -check in (bought in singpost for $8.50 each) = less than 20kgs lang cguro kc mga bulky items lang
2 Check in luggages = will maximize to 30kgs each
1 small luggage = might as well check in (ayoko dami bitbit sa loob ng plane)
1 big camera bag
1 pram
Going back to Perth this weekend. Good luck naman sakin sa pagbubuhat at may kasama pa kaming bata.
