firstly - I am finally here! (maybe I should change my screen name to KiminLouisiana ;)) we headed out Tuesday afternoon and hit the border around 5pm. Not ideal I thought but there was little traffic and we got a close spot to the office with our own guard for the car to keep an eye on the dogs. :)

After a short wait to see an officer we gave him all of our stuff. We were a little apprehensive at first as he didn't seem to know quite what to do, but he asked his supervisor a question & he came out and and asked where we would be doing the AOS. Not having a clue, he got our guy to look up on line where the closest office is so that they could direct our paperwork there. $6 dollars and about 25 mins later, we were back on the road. They never asked about the dogs, car or what I was bringing in at all! :thumbs:

The trip only had 2 bumps - AC deciding not to work for a while in KY and almost losing a bike in TN, but I'm here and starting to poke about the site for what I do next.

long short - Bluewater is a great POE.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hubby and I are heading out that way tomorrow early morning. We are planning on using the Blue Water bridge and are praying for a quick entry [well, relative to any 3 hours waits at least]. Hopefully we'll have smoothness like you guys did.

Congrats!
