Frustrated is such a little word

Extremely so.

I feel your pain in many ways. I think the majority of customs workers are just looking to get greased a little. In other words ($$$$) .

The frustration is that you can not do anything but pay up.

In reference to communicating long distance my fiancee and I use video calling through MSN. In addition there is a free program called Skype. You can download it for free from the internet. You can make 'calls' from computer to computer which includes video. You'll have to get a cam and headset with microphone if you do not have one. That is basically our saviour. There are times when it is a tad slow but all in all it works very good.

Just a suggestion for those who were not aware.

You can also use skype to call a phone internationally, same price as an average phone card. I find that the call quality is really good to Egypt and the connection never gets dropped unless he goes somewhere he doesn't have signal. (my hubby doesn't have internet at home, has to go to a friends to get a really slow connection so we don't talk on the internet much)
