1) Do not assume that you’ll get through customs based on good looks and charm alone.
2) Even though going to stay with a married woman you met on the internet sounds perfectly legit to you, it does not resonate so well with embittered customs officers.
3) “Oh don’t worry – she’s married!” is not the response these officers are looking for when they say: “So it sounds to me like you’re flying across the continent to stay with a woman you’ve never met…”
4) Once the customs officer starts demanding to know where you work and how much money is in your bank account, it is NOT the time for nervous giggles.
…sincerely hoping this trip just needs to hit its stride.
