Your KSTP-TV journey will again provide first class accommodations with the Four Seasons properties in both Singapore and Chiang Mai.

If you are traveling from another city, IMI will make the appropriate arrangements for you on the most efficient airline from your city.  You will travel to Los Angeles and will meet the Minneapolis group where we will all travel together internationally.

       We suggest one large suitcase (not to exceed 70 lbs) per person, but no more than two per person.  As you will read later in this booklet, you will probably purchase an additional suitcase to bring home souvenirs.  Please count on this as you plan ahead.  Be aware that excess luggage fees can start around $150 per extra bag.

      Also bring one carry flight bag each with airline tickets, passports, valuables, cameras, medicines, eyeglasses and anything you could not be without should your luggage be delayed.

      Your carry luggage should also contain an extra change of clothes.

      It is advisable to divide your clothing between two or more bags (his and hers), so that, you will each have some clothing if only one of your bags arrives on time.  This is true of all airline travel, but especially international travel.

      All luggage should be tagged with special yellow Happiness Plaza Travel bag tags that you will receive, including your hand carry bag.  It is also advisable to have this same information inside your luggage placed on top of your clothes in case the exterior tags get torn off during the trip.

      It is strongly suggested that you lock your checked luggage or secure it with tight straps.  Keep close tabs on your luggage at all times, especially carry-on luggage, to prevent anyone from stealing or tampering with your property. 

      Each traveler will need a valid passport with an expiration date no earlier than May 18, 2002.  Check your expiration dates and apply for a new one if you do not meet these criteria.

      You will need to send IMI one copy of each passport with the appropriate forms.  Each copy must include your name, passport number, and dates.  It must also be a clear readable copy.

      We also suggest that you make two copies of each for yourself.  Leave one copy at home with relatives or at your office.  Keep the other copy with you, separate from your passport, so in the event of a lost passport during your trip, you can use the copy to obtain another passport from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  It is a much easier process to receive a new passport in a foreign land if you have a copy and numbers of your current passport.

      DO NOT SEND YOUR PASSPORT TO IMI, JUST ONE CLEAR COPY.
