CROSSING THE BORDER, THEN HOME SWEET HOME

Each year, no matter how long you have been down south and how little you have purchased, as you approach the border, you are silently saying to yourself, "Please, Please, Please, just wave me through.  

I always save all the receipts for all of my purchases and list them on a declaration form I have created, with receipts attached.  And since I have been doing that I have never been Questioned, Searched, or Held Up, in any way.  They always just hand me back my paper work and say, "Have a nice day."  (They don't like to deal with paper work.)

And with the Canadian dollar being what it has been this past winter, I certainly have not spent anything myself, but others have.  Canadian Friends and Family (that stayed home and saved their money) have requested that I bring things back for them.  LOL 

So, I still had to make out a detailed declaration statement , and will still be saying, as I approach the border, "Please, Please, Please, don't hassle me."  


IT WILL BE GOOD TO BE HOME
