Sweetness - thanks for the Customs story. You're not the only one I heard being told to go thru the other line because of bigger bags than they thought reasonable.Originally Posted by Sweetness
How much convincing did it take that they were YOUR pots and pans - and did they ask if you were going to take them with you when you left?
It's funny you mention the business cards. I got some for my fiance (has a nail shop) in JA and they were outrageously expensive for like just the first 100 - they said others later would be cheaper because the die was already made???? But instead I brought a box of a 1000 down next trip for half the cost. Until you mentioned it now, I didn't think of them even being declared for duty.
I know a few people who put stuff in storage so don't have to take so much every trip - wonder how customs handles that?
Luckily now, I have a place to leave the bulky stuff - pool floaties, snorkel gear, rolling cooler, radio, beach towels, some clothes,... - all brought down one trip at a time. This trip WAS to be the TV - LOL.
Oh yeah - I am from suburb on South side of Dayton, Centerville. But grew up on a farm in Clinton County - a little to the south-east. Wilmington and Blanchester are towns there.
With my previous job I traveled to Cleveland area a lot - great deli's. You must have loved Drew Carey when his show was on. (I loved that Parma song-and-dance they did)
