General Discussion

I just returned from two weeks visiting old friends in France. I too was worried about reentry.

In the end I decided to risk it. Other than FB, all my online political commentary is anonymous.

I was advised to turn off face recognition but I decided not to do that. Traveling alone in a country where I don't know the language, I realized that I needed to keep things simple.

I had no problems with reentry, other than being asked some odd questions by the agent. He asked if I had a good time, and when I said yes, he asked "But you're happy to be home, right?" I knew the correct answer to that was yes.

Then I volunteered that I probably owed duty on some items I'd bought at the airport. They were very helpful and kind.

I'm certain that it matters that I'm a grey-haired older white lady. I'm very sad that it's come to that.
