PoE!!!

[A & C 22]

Well I FINALLY did my PoE today. I don't fly home to Kentucky until July 18th but my stuff was being shipped from Vancouver today so I had to do my PoE. We drove to the Peace Arch Blaine crossing with the uhaul and parked it and I walked down to the border. I stood in line for about 45 mins before it was my turn. I was probably the only one in there doing my PoE everyone else was being pulled in for other things (I saw one couple get a 7000 dollar fine for trying to bring drugs into the US). So prior to going down to the border I called 3 different times just to ensure that yes I could go do my PoE and come directly back to Canada. Once speaking with the CBP guy today I told him the situation and he said he wasn't sure if I could do that because normally when you do your PoE you are supposed to be travelling to your destination. Anyway he said he would ask his boss. He spoke with his boss for a few minutes and came back and said yes that was fine to PoE and go back to Canada. He then handed me off to another guy because he had something he needed to do. I waited about 15 mins for the guy to go through my paper work before he called me up to sign a few things take my finger print and stamp my passport then I was on my way. Altogether it took about an hour and a half mainly because of the long line. All the border guards I dealt with were super nice and it was a good experience.

So now I am back in Canada and fly home in 6 days!
