Oh, by the way, don't worry cause after a few days your body clock will change and you will finally get a good sleep at night. A few days is hard but everything will be great cause you are with your man. :thumbs:

Hi!

First of all, congrats for making ti there safe. My baby and I will have our turn in two weeks...just waiting for her graduation day from preschool and then i can focus on our final packing.

Just a quick question (due to my sporadic OCDing)...how'd you fill up the customs declaration form? Are we non-residents? or US residents? I looked at the form on the US customs website and I honestly don't know how to answer some. We are definitely not visitors who are entitiled to just $100 worth of belongings, as stated on the form......right?

Thanks very much!

Gracey

Ganun ba? Thats my POE too. I'm just worried about my kids, toddler and a baby. I hope pagpunta namin hindi ganon karaming tao. Baka mainip sila kakahintay. Anyway, their father will accompany us on our trip.

I'll be staying at Rancho Cucamonga, 3mins away from Victoria Garden.

Ingat ka po lagi.

Congrats po!
