Yes, we learned that a while ago, even if we really did buy nothing, we put down like $50, because we were questioned when we didn't put down anything. They didn't actually search our bags though. We told them "we've been to SXM a million times, we don't need any more jewelry, liquor is too heavy to carry back and we sure as heck don't need any more t-shirts!!" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> If they looked at our passports, they saw a million stamps in there for SXM, so guess that satisfied them. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> These days, we have a brand new passport that we just initiated in December, so that story might not work! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
