Wines and U.S. Customs

[lizardbrains]

Fear of the Unknown.

I have only been "abroad" once, and when I came back through U.S. customs I was SOOOOOO nervous. I wasn't 21, and I had brought back a few bottles of wine. I didn't declare anything on my declaration slip, only because I had no clue how to use it, what to write, and if I'd be arrested for buying too many clothes, newspapers, souvenirs, and postcards while over there (I was clueless). When I got off the plane, my heart was beating so fast: I was worried they were going to not let me in because I had some wine, and I wasn't of-age.

Anyways, he saw my cheerful face, stamped my passport with a Minnie Mouse (I still don't understand that), and let me through.

Ugh, I wish they would just let you know the rules, so you wouldn't have to worry. (Or you could at least know what you did need to worry about!)
