Back from my three day weekend trip. Late arrival, now heading to work, life is tough. Not.
I had a fantastic time. I spent a bloody fortune. Why oh why do we have so little ability to shop in the US without having to pay at customs? I was stopped once coming through and my suitcase searched - it was humiliating. I'd packed seven wigs for my girlfriends to wear to nightclubs and I felt like a hooker when they went through them. I was dinged at the cashiers counter and fined.
Now I claim everything, just for piece of mind. Out of the whole, entire airport only my girl friends and one other person approached the customs, cashier's counter...ya right. They don't shop. Uh huh.
I won't say what I spent, but let' just say that even after the cash exemption, I owed $100. Doesn't sound bad? Well for a three day trip, it's not good.
Off to work I go.
