I met my wife in Caracas, and because my ad agency had the Pan Am account, I got 50% off travel--so I was able to fly down literally every few weeks for more than a year until we got married and she moved to NYC with me.
The Customs Agents saw all of the stamps in my passport and thought I was a drug-runner.
Actually, I WAS a bootlegger of sorts. I made quite a bit of money bringing in Cuban cigars for bigwigs in my agency who BEGGED me to do it. They paid me top dollar, bought me dinners, and even promised bail money and an attorney if things went bad.
But if you're getting flare with the 85, your hood isn't long enough. I have zero with mine.
