Need Advice on traveling abroad
UPDATE check out eye candy https://www.vadriven.com/forums/show...98#post2746198
Im going to be traveling to the Philippines right after christmas threw the middle of January is when I get back. Ive never been on a plane flight this long or been to a place like this before. Im going with my best friend and his family cause there from there so I know i got alot of the normal headaches out the way since im going with locals. Ive gotten a bunch of vaccines to protect my health and tried to do as much as i can to prepare. So do yall have any advice as far as things to do on the plane or things to watch out for. im really nervous about going on this trip, ive never been away from my family and friend for so long before.

Re: Need Advice on traveling abroad
walk around sometimes and stretch. its a long ride if you're going va-detroit-japan-philippines. if a relative isnt sitting beside me on the airplane i keep my passport, money, wallet, ticket on me(inside pocket of my jacket). drink bottled water. message me if you have any particular questions. have a safe trip.

You do know what balut is, right? Drink Lots of water(which you have to buy after security), take an ipod or dvd player, cards or lots of unisom. I would only carry on what I had to have, the less shit to remove or put in a tray when dealing with the TSA nazi's.

Re: Need Advice on traveling abroad
It's been said twice before, but it needs to be repeated as much as possible...DRINK LOTS OF WATER. People blame being dehydrated on jet lag and it will ruin a few days after traveling for you.

Re: Need Advice on traveling abroad
Go business class, its the only way. Walk around, take your shoes off as your feet might swell a little and hurt. Take something to help you sleep and buy lots of magazines. Always keep your passport in your pocket. Don't exchange money until you get there, usually a better return vs. doing it in the states first.
