    @amcasperforu currently transiting here in sg..as per my experience with the passport, the airline crew in manila have to call canberra to update my wife's passport..lagi daw nilang ginagawa un kasi kahit sabihin ni CO na inupdate nya na sa system, un pala hindi pa..good thing the airline crew was very accomodating and naghintay lang naman kami a few minutes para maupdate..

    @nfronda and @engrjamescastro Thanks for sharing... good to know ganun lang pala ginagawa. Share ko lang din na sabi kasi sa PDOS na need daw iupdate and make it clear, meron daw kasing incident na di updated na hold...

    Kaya nag sisigurado lang din, mahirap na, may kasama rin kasi akong matanda. Mahirap isa sa amin ma hold at isa makaalis.

    madali talaga when you already experience it and have done it... pero sa una kaba kaba din pag may time hehehe....

    @sherneb, parang masyado yata mahal yan.... Sa pagkakaalam ko, eto lang yung travel tax that you need to pay:

    First Class Passage Full rate PHP 2700
    Economy Class Passage PHP 1620

    and additional 750 for the terminal fee regardless kung 1st class or economy class passenger ka.

    I booked my ticket via cleartrip.ae just 2 days ago. maaga ako nagbook, our travel date is june 20 and got 1205 dirhams (equivalent to 14,700k pesos) via Malaysia airlines all in. additional ko na lang ditto yung travel tax at terminal fee.

    what I find easy for cleartrip kasi is, it will display all the fares of numerous airline companies so may choices ka. useful sya samin coming from middle east site. di ko lang sure if this will be useful for your guys.

    makikicount down na din po ako...

    120days na lang to go. before, we were thinking na masyado pa matagal yung june, only to find out the more than 120days na lang and yet still so many things to do. di pa kami nakakapag pack ng mga gamit naming considering that we will be vacating our 1-bedroom flat here in Dubai. ang daming furnitures na dapat ipauwi sa Phils. nakakaloka ang rate ng mga movers and shippers.

    but one things is sure, na magpapabox na kami ng mga essential things na gagamitin naming pagpunta ng Oz via emirates post. mga unang gamit lang like winter clothes dahil june kami darating dun. vacuum packed kumot, towel and pillows. and tried to vacuum packed also mga pambahay and few clothes para di masyado bulky at marami ka pang maipapack in one box. Got the vacuum plastic packs from daiso

    Hi Guys! As of Jan.28, eto ang major updates sa trip namin

    1. Receive renewed passport. DONE
    2. Inform CO of new passport number. PENDING (c/o Migration Agent)
    3. Attend CFO seminar. PENDING (dependent on #2)
    4. Cancel Credit Cards and wipe out bank accounts. ONGOING (0 balance in Credit Card, bank accounts, wiped out)
    5. Resign (hindi pa ito sure kasi mukhang may chance na ma relocate kami both to Sydney.)

    Got confirmation today that there will be 2 roles waiting for us (me and my partner work at the same Australian based company). Pending discussion on contract signing. Hopefully, everything pans out smoothly. However, we still need to resign from our permanent roles and just re-join as contractors once in Sydney.


    6. Cancel Cable and Broadband subscriptions. ONGOING. Info gathered.

    7. Plan and execute Despedida partey!! ONGOING. Inaalam na gano kalaking lechon dapat ipakatay. hehe.

    Hope everyone else due to move are doing great. :)
