Passing custom objects to Activities

I want to pass a custom object from one Activity to another, here is what I have so far:

Guests.java :

public class Guest extends Booking implements Serializable {
    public String SampleFunc(){
        return "hello";
    }
}

FirstActivity.this :

private ArrayList<Guest> guests = new ArrayList<Guest>();
....
this.guests.add(new Guest("Joe Blog","Standart","F01","22/22/2012"));
this.guests.add(new Guest("Herpa Bunn","Standart","F02","22/22/2012"));

Intent i = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
i.putExtra("guests", this.guests);
startActivity(i);

SecondActivity.java :

ArrayList<Guest> basket =
         (ArrayList<Guest>).getIntent().getSerializableExtra("guests");
//this will crashes the program

LogCat :

you should implement Parcelable and then sent your array like

Intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("array",yourarray);

and other activity get it as

 Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
    List<Guest> guestList = bundle.getParcelableArrayList("array");
