TOURISM

Easing the Carry-On Burden: Japanese tourists buying gifts and other merchandise in Orange County can get their purchases home without having to lug them along on their return flights.

Air freight company Nippon Express USA has opened a counter at the Disneyland Hotel. From there, guests can send shipments to Japan and 49 other countries. Office staff members who speak both Japanese and English can wrap, pack and obtain proper customs documentation for customers’ packages.

No word on how much it costs to ship a set of mouse ears.
