The Summer holidays are well and truly here and if you're one of those people lucky enough to heading off to the Good Ole US of A this year, here's an essential link for you.
Getting through US Customs and Immigration these days is not what it once was. Post 9/11 every aspect of security has been understandably stepped up and so there's a bit of bureaucracy to deal with.
This new site, launched last Friday, is provided by the Department of Homeland Security and it basically replaces the paperwork you'll be expected to complete before landing in the US.
Don't let the scary looking pop-up put you off, this is really useful and should save you some time and possible aggravation.
And after 12 January 2009 its going to be required so if your travelling to the US best get signing up now before everyone else finds out and brings the process to a halt.
