Our roads are easy to figure out if you live here (heh) :)

Zyggy .. I was wondering if this could be your home base. This POE was a lot different from other offices I have been in (Niagara crossing). Everyone who worked there seemed to be friends .. it was nice to see.

I forgot to add in my report that I paid the $6 as well for processing I guess.

Yes... Actually the tunnel was my base, but they're part of the same POE... and it was very friendly.. we were all friends.. In fact, I'm still friends with most of them today... On occassion, I get hauled into secondary just because one of them wants to see what's going on with us, or I talk with them in the booth for awhile.(chuckle)... The people behind me probably think I'm getting ripped a new one...

It's funny.. on one of my first dates with my wife, it was an officer who was new and didn't know me... my buddy who was a supervisor at the time told him to haul me in... We got pulled in, she was scared out of her mind... when we got in it was like a big reunion... everyone wanted to see who my date was :)'

So when we're in a hurry... we go the bridge... don't know as many people there and it's a lot bigger port...

Going to a Super Bowl Party with a few of them this weekend... and I'm standing in a wedding of one of them this year... I know them both...

I'd probably still be there if it wasn't for the hellish hours...

MO! What a story! You're like a pioneer who travelled over rough terraine and finally made it! I'm opeing a beer in your honour. (And forwarding your name to the Pentagon because you could probably go to Iraq and solve all the problems!)

Do I sense some sarcasm here, Ms. Jersey!?!?!? :D

Ha! I guessed right! And now I have some background story on the mysterious zyggy!

Seriously - nice to know that you still get along so well with your crossing buddies. You never know - one day you may end up there, in some capacity or another, again.

Monique,

You are sooooo welcome! I am glad I was able to help. I think the crossing was the easiest part. They were very nice there when we came across.

Congratulations and glad you made it safely!!!
