Re: Simply Portland...Utterly Devine
“I tried to go easy on you, Ms. Vi, but you’ve got some collection here. The over-proof is what sent the amount up so high. He hands me the voucher. “Go to the window and pay the duty. You can pack up the bottles after you show me the receipt.”
I hold my breath as I look at the total I owe.
“What??? $81.00???? I had no idea it would cost that much. I don’t know what to do…”
“Huh??? What??? No…no Ms. Vi. Look at it again.” He’s about to bust from laughing.
“Oh…wow…really??? $8.10???”
“Yeah. it wouldn’t have been that much if you didn’t have so much over-proof.”
I couldn’t get to that window fast enough and hand over the eight dollars and ten cent.
Showed him the receipt and he gave me a customs handbook and made me promise to read it before I fly again.
I wanted to kiss him.
1:05 AM…me and the 11 bottles made it home safely.
