Immigration & customs officers are like a box of chocolates. You never know when you will get a bitter one.
Can't count the number of crossings anymore. By far most crossings are uneventful & proffessionaly done even though we don't fit the usual mold of persons they have to deal with. We don't carry a US or Canadian passport, & drive a vehicle that is not directly registered to us. All of that stumps them sometimes but often breaks the ice too with the usual "BERMUDA! What are you doing here?" Or, also common, "How did you get that thing from Bermuda to here?" The answer is "Do you have any idea how fast we have to go to make it hydroplane 600 miles from Bermuda to Cape Hatterass?"
Hey, they have what is an important but mostly boring job to do. Make it as easy as possible, even brighten it up if the chance comes along.
