Martha's Vineyard Yep, absolutely agree.

Male IO's are always nice.

I have two passports, an old one with DTV Sticker in there and a new one.

Female IO was going crazy about it, wanted to deny entry, cause its not the same passport.

But her supervisor came, gave me stamp and let me go, without even asking anything.

@John *************
the difference is that some people don’t wanna live on less than 30 sqm.

Hes a retiree ok, but especially for people who are working at home, you should love your home, and for 2 people 30sqm are defo not enough.

I have 62 sqm for 25k for 2 people and thats just fine.
