#3 I was hoping they were going the other way, i.e. towards Canada.

#5 I crossed back into the US yesterday at the Sumas, WA crossing; the advertized wait time was ~ 10 minutes; sure enough 1 hour and 4 minutes later we finally hit the Customs booth. Observed LOTS of dog action on cars and an abnormal amount of secondary screening; probably just those with Cannabis or residue of same on/in cars/clothes and it is still a federal crime to import grass into the US.

Didn't know about this Iranian thingy until later that night safely ensconsed at Casa Ret.
