I had started writing a very detailed list and when I got to like, my 5th page of items I thought about how ridiculous it was. I scrapped it and wrote a more generalized list (so like saying Kitchen appliances instead of listing "coffee maker, skillet, ice cream maker," etc etc)

When we got to the border, we crossed at the peace bridge (completely by accident, we missed the exit off the highway to the border we MEANT to cross at) the border guard asked my fiance to open the uhaul and he took a very quick look inside of it and that was it. He was pretty stern and kept trying to trip us up, but never asked to see a list of everything we had. He directed us to go into the building to process my visa and no one in there asked what I was bringing with me. They were too busy processing all of the paperwork.

My "manifest" is as much for me and organizing as it is for anything the border guards might want. I also know how many Tupperware bins contain shoes and boots, so none of them should go missing at my fiance's hands. :-|
