The VIP Club is alive and well.

I sent an arrival notice a few days ago for our arrival at Beef Island last night. Even though the Seaborne flight was an hour late, we were met inside Immigration and escorted to the immigration booth ahead of the other 30 or so people in line.

The nice lady that met us gave each of us a swag bag with assorted small items.

Then, we were escorted through Customs with our baggage and our cat. Even though I had declared about $200 of imported items and a live animal on the form, the Customs officer just smiled and said "Enjoy your stay!"

After we got outside of Customs, she had photos made of the three of us, then helped us move our luggage to our waiting rental vehicle.

Very nice!
