but cant wait to come back and be landed properly and lose these nasty 9 sin's

Excellent! Best of luck and enjoy your trip

You've read the posts about "flag poling" recently right?

Go shopping somewhere first in the US to save hassles at the border....

They are spending a few days in the Seattle area, so unclear what the basis for your comment is.

well we are in Everett, did the premium outlet place today, its not bad, definatly some bargins to be had. Off to tour the boeing factory tomorrow - why, I have no idea ! then we may hit Seattle and do more shopping and touristy things then back to land.

our entry into the US at Sumas went very well, took around 20 mins in total.
no problems, and all the custom officers were very pleasent.

Have fun
