When we used to go to Bermuda every year I always took cheese, big blocks of it to our friends, as it was so expensive there. Now, I guess if I go to other countries I should take a suitcase full of fabric for quilters there, even Canada. Unfortunately I do not travel to other countries, since I am still trying to see all of the U S. I also have not applied for a passport. Last time I left the U S all you needed was a drivers license and a birth certificate.
