So true, Larry. We are signed up under the "trusted traveler" local boater option. I still expect a visit from about 3 customs agents when we return. Boy, you had better have your prescription meds in the original bottles. They check it all. There is still the option they have of making us go to a port of entry with a customs office. The last time we had to rent a car and drive to Riviera Beach. Shall we say that they were less than warm and friendly. Just 2 senior citizens trying to do the right thing.
A good friend of mine said that we should have stayed illegal. We missed all kinds of benefits.
