What exactly is a pom? Down here, you'd go to jail for 3 or 4 years for doing something like that!

I just got back from the Bahamas yesterday and went through US customs and was told that we must discard any seeds, plants, fruit, etc. before going through customs. If caught, we were told that we could face fines of $10,000 and possible jail time. Of course, I didn't bring any back from there, but I did "deseed" several plants that I am not sure what they were and a few that I did from Cocoa Beach... Glad your mom didn't run into any problems.
BTW, if you would like to try a hardy pom from Winston Salem, let me know and I will see if I can't point you in the right direction.

well you know randy....there are places that seeds can hide.....you have sand in your shoes in your suitcase....mix them in the bottom of your case with some sand......how did that get in there???

. maybe i dont need to go to ecquador....i might not get out of jail for a while!

Haha!! yes - oops

I tend to clean all the sand out of my stuff before it goes into my suitcase, so that wouldn't work for me... Love the sandy beaches, but don't want it going home with me....
