I am in California!!!!

[SENKA 0]

I am finally in US with my fiance, woooooohooooo. We took a 10 day vacation in Yellowstone, Titan, Grand Canyon and Zion, on the way down from Canada, so we just arrived home although we crossed the border on July 01. POE experience was o.k., they were very pleasant and nice, but I was also in a bit of a shock when they told me that I have to pay over $500 for my 1,5 year old Mazda 3 because it was made in Japan. First time I heard of that. So for any of you that have a vehicle not made in North America, think twice as they knew those rules really well. Other than that, it was o.k.

When we arrived to CA, there was also a message from UPS that my 12 boxes were returned to Çanada as the copy of my K1 visa was not sufficient for customs clearance. The rules have apparently just changed and they also need copy of I-94 to send personal bellongings accross. We have all that straghtened out, live and learn I guess. My boxes should be here on July 17

We are happy to finally be together.
