Every time I'm visiting friends in the PHL area, I have to take a box of wine from my friends parents winery with me. The very first times I took boxes of 18 bottles with me, but after complaining about weight and handling issues on the way to and from the airport, I was allowed to bring boxes of 12 bottles
Last visit in two weeks ago, I once again had a box for 18 bottles, filled with 9 bottles of wine, ca. 4-5kg of
gingerbread and 2-3 kg of
black bread. I hope that fulfills my this years duty, as I'm heading towards PHL in tweo weeks again (guess why).
