Fwd: Long drive between Chilliwack & Neah

[Theresa Kishkan]

On a recent flight back from Ireland, I was asked by our Canadian Customs
officer why I'd gone to Ireland. Pleasure, I said, and research for a novel.
He got very suspicious and wanted to know who employs me (self, I replied)
and what I'd paid for my ticket and if anyone had asked me to bring anything
back (to which I replied that my daughter had asked for Irish chocolate...).
No sten guns or propaganda....I thought it was just me!
