We are in Port Angeles making lists and adding up purchases. We are under the allowed $1600 on purchases but over on booze (as usual). We got into trouble last year but we have WAY less this time. We will just tell them what we have and that we are willing to dump out whatever will make them happy. I do not want to pay $1 per ounce duty nor do I want to stand inside for an hour making a declaration. I hate crossing this border! It is so much easier going into the USA or Mexico.
Our friend Kris advised us to make a reservation so what is what we did for the 8:20 AM sailing.
Well, back to the list...
Merry Christmas

Good luck with the border crossing and the list.
ReplyDeleteI think that you are having problems with that particular Canadian border crossing. Most everyone whose blogs I read seem to have no problems returning home and are generally just greeted with a welcome back to Canada.
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to hire their share of glum looking officers. No problem this time though.
DeleteNo problems crossing the border over here in the promised land of Alberta, but then we never try to haul more over the border than the rules allow. Usually just a few questions, drop the horses documentation at the desk and it is off to the barn.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with this border crossing. I love sharing your adventures as I recoup from knee surgery.
ReplyDeleteIf all went well when you got off the ferry then you should be on your way up-island right now. Hope you're not in the "booth" answering questions!!
ReplyDeletewe are just down the road from you telling all our tales!
DeleteGood wishes for a smooth sailing and border entry. We always have mire liquor than allowed and we own up to it....and, to date, without any issues.
ReplyDeleteThe "extra" amount this time was much more reasonable and we breezed through.
