00:00:00.167 --> 00:00:02.878
OK, our trip to Los Angeles is booked!

00:00:02.878 --> 00:00:06.423
- Great! Beverly Hills,
Sunset Strip, Rodeo Drive!

00:00:07.841 --> 00:00:09.718
Do you think we’ll see
some celebrities?

00:00:09.718 --> 00:00:11.720
- I’m pretty sure we will

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.056
and they’ll probably invite us
to lunch, too.

00:00:14.056 --> 00:00:15.098
Very funny.

00:00:15.098 --> 00:00:17.309
Why don’t you ask Kate
if there’s anything we need to do.

00:00:17.893 --> 00:00:20.562
- Kate, this is our first trip
to Los Angeles.

00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:21.897
What do we need to do?

00:00:22.272 --> 00:00:25.275
- Consider renting a convertible
to enjoy the views

00:00:25.275 --> 00:00:28.153
but I recommend
a very strong sunscreen.

00:00:28.278 --> 00:00:30.822
- OK, sun tan lotion. Check.

00:00:30.822 --> 00:00:33.825
- First thing you want to do
is see if you qualify for ESTA

00:00:33.825 --> 00:00:35.327
under the Visa Waiver Program.

00:00:35.869 --> 00:00:37.329
What is ESTA?

00:00:37.329 --> 00:00:40.082
The Electronic System
for Travel Authorization.

00:00:40.082 --> 00:00:42.584
If your country is part of
the Visa Waiver Program,

00:00:42.584 --> 00:00:46.380
you may not need a VISA
if you stay in the U.S. less than 90 days.

00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:50.759
You can read more and apply online
at cbp.gov/travel.

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:51.760
- Sounds easy enough.

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:54.096
Do we still need our passports
if we don’t need VISAs?

00:00:54.429 --> 00:00:55.430
KATE: Of course.

00:00:55.430 --> 00:00:58.976
This website will also be able
to tell you about restricted items

00:00:58.976 --> 00:01:00.727
you cannot bring
into the United States....

00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:04.106
animals, fruits, plants,
stuff like that.

00:01:04.106 --> 00:01:05.857
- Got it. Anything else?

00:01:05.857 --> 00:01:08.443
- Do your research now
and you’ll thank me later.

00:01:08.443 --> 00:01:10.571
Now too-ta-loo, enjoy LA!

00:01:10.696 --> 00:01:12.114
Too-ta-loo!

00:01:16.076 --> 00:01:17.244
KATE: Hi, Nikki!

00:01:17.244 --> 00:01:19.621
About two hours out from LA
I see.

00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:21.248
- Do you have GPS in there?

00:01:21.248 --> 00:01:23.792
- No, but I helped you book
your flight, remember?

00:01:23.792 --> 00:01:24.876
- Ahh…right.

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:27.629
- Let’s talk about
your arrival game plan.

00:01:27.629 --> 00:01:31.383
The first thing you need to do
is select the appropriate line.

00:01:31.383 --> 00:01:34.594
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent
residents will go one way

00:01:34.594 --> 00:01:37.764
and visitors from international countries
will go to another.

00:01:37.764 --> 00:01:39.224
It’s clearly marked.

00:01:39.516 --> 00:01:40.809
- What documents
will we need ready?

00:01:40.809 --> 00:01:44.146
- You’ll need your passport
and CBP declaration form.

00:01:44.146 --> 00:01:45.314
You’ll be fingerprinted

00:01:45.314 --> 00:01:47.482
and they’ll take your picture
to verify your identity.

00:01:47.482 --> 00:01:48.525
- A picture, huh?

00:01:48.525 --> 00:01:50.193
Maybe I should go quickly
brush my hair.

00:01:50.193 --> 00:01:52.863
KATE:
Oh please, you look great.

00:01:52.863 --> 00:01:53.822
Where was I?

00:01:53.822 --> 00:01:58.285
Oh right, so a friendly CBP officer
will ask a few questions

00:01:58.285 --> 00:02:01.246
about your visit and if you have
anything to declare.

00:02:01.246 --> 00:02:02.706
- What if we have nothing
to declare?

00:02:02.706 --> 00:02:03.790
KATE: You go to baggage claim,

00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:07.669
pick up your luggage and hand
your CBP Declaration form to the officer,

00:02:07.669 --> 00:02:11.006
who may ask some additional questions
and request

00:02:11.006 --> 00:02:13.925
that a CBP Agriculture Specialist
search your luggage.

00:02:13.925 --> 00:02:15.886
After that,
you can leave the terminal.

00:02:16.261 --> 00:02:17.679
- Doesn’t sound like
too much trouble.

00:02:17.679 --> 00:02:18.680
KATE: Enjoy Hollywood

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.974
and I’ll check back with you
on the plane ride home.

00:02:20.974 --> 00:02:21.767
Thanks!

00:02:21.767 --> 00:02:23.935
I think you should have
your own star on the pavement.

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:26.438
- I’m living the dream.
