They weren't good at replying to emails, but surprisingly they answered their calls and were helpful (they sounded annoyed but still helpful). Only complaint is the lobby area, no place to sit and wait and very small, but I'm sure they have it like that on purpose.

This review is specifically for the direct airport release and does not contain any information…read moreregarding the facilities if your dog has to stay there for a period of time as I have no direct experience with that. First, be prepared for a bit of a trip after your long flight. It's a bit of a walk past the gates, past baggage claim, near the international section of the terminal to get to the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility. Thankfully, there is a shuttle that gets you pretty close (and then can just go to baggage claim after). And more importantly, and the reason why I am even doing this review, is because of the amazing and helpful staff who met us and the other animals from the plane at our arrival gate and took us through the whole process, showed the best locations for our animals to relieve themselves, and much much more. They made the chaotic first time experience extremely smooth. So thank you, Francis. The Hawaiian process to bring an animal here may seem daunting, stressful, and pricy. But they are doing their part to keep the island rabies free. Also, unlike many other places, while the requirements list is long and complicated, their website is extremely clear and easy to follow. Yes, you'll have to do multiple trips to your vet, do various very specific testing, procure documents and get original signatures (no scans or copies), but at least it wasn't convoluted and unclear. It can be a lengthy process but it's for a good cause and most importantly, the final step was made smoother and made the overall experience great having Francis assist us on the final leg of the journey.

"4" for the long line, but, a "5" for the 3 employees for their patience. I arrived at 10:30am for…read moremy 10:45am appointment to renew my driver license today. Ridiculous to find a long line that snaked out into the stairwell. This long line is for everyone with an appointment and not. This was changed from having 2 separate lines and the genius power to be decided to change to 1 line! An employee with a clipboard would come out to check everyone for their purpose of being in line. Because I had an appointment made with their online Aloha Q, he pulled me out, looked at my application and gave me a number. I then proceeded to the waiting area at 10:44am and, finally, was seen around 11:10am! Although, I brought my birth certificate, 2 proof of residency, eye check certificate from my optometrist so I don't have to get my eyes checked with their icky eyes check machine and current driver license, I was told unless I had changed my address or name, I only needed my current driver license, money to pay the fee and my eyes checked certificate! Oh, if you're already a registered voter, you do not need to re register by completing the application that's attached to the renewal driver license application! What! Grrrrr... Both the employee who took my application, current driver license and the employee who my fingerprints and photo were knowledgeable. pleasant and friendly. Now, I have to wait 6-8 weeks for my permanent driver license to arrive by mail. WOW...what an ordeal! Like having your teeth pulled and happy it was pulled...lol...

Unusual thing is because…read morethis branch is at Pearlridge Center which opens at 10 a.m. you must wait for the dmv employee to come up so the security guard can open the doors. The employee checks you off on his clipboard, make sure you have your appointment confirmation code. Once you go down a floor head to their office at far left. You will be checked for your id and application. Somehow I missed the part about filling in an application so I was given one and proceeded forward but filled in the form first before taking a seat. Luckily it was just a duplicate drivers license I needed since the lamination on mine was peeling off from one top edge. My number was called to window 2 and I had the nicest young man. I told him I no longer needed glasses as a restriction since I had both eyes cataract surgeries. He asked if I wanted to take the eye test. Yes! I passed. Bring your check made out to City and County of Honolulu for $6. Next you move over two windows to your left, get fingers scanned then get your photo retaken. Hooray! At the earliest your plastic license will be mailed to you in 2 weeks. You get a cool temporary license with your photo and information on it. Only catch is you cannot travel with a temporary license. Fortunately I can travel using my passport as ID when I travel internationally. In and out in half an hour. So glad the employee I had was so pleasant, and smiled.

Everybody knows that nobody really comes to Point Roberts for the great tourist attractions, or…read morehistory. Nope. You're here to pick up a package, fill up your car, and GTFO. Thanks to some cartographers not doing their homework in the 1800s, this little enclave is the perfect way to get around the legalities of international shipping. As a result, there are lineups like crazy on Saturdays, as most package holding places aren't open on Sunday. Tips for getting to your package faster: a) Park on the street just before the border (Diefenbaker Park comes to mind), then walk across. You can see a mass exodus of people pulling dollies and wagons here. Quite hilarious, and there's a ton of parking. Customs is super quick when you're a walk-in as it's obvious you aren't stashing that new laptop in your jacket. b) If you are going across to MAIL a package (ie sell something), then the flat rate is $11USD per vehicle, regardless of the value of what you're selling. Something to keep in mind. I found this out the hard way once. However this doesn't apply to.. *drum roll* walk-ins. Again, the dolly/wagon wins. I've taken advantage of this piece of land several times, and each time the officers were very courteous. Totally wish I could say the same for Blaine. It's like they send all the nice ones here.

Friend told immigration he is taking me around sight seeing at Point Roberts. Immigration asked if I am from somewhere else and if I have seen trees and gas station. After crossing the boarder, now I know what he means. Yes only one supermarket, couple gas station and a bunch of trees. You basically see one part of PR and you basically see all parts. So most people who come here for the purpose of picking their package and filling up gas. Its weird how at gas station they have price listed in liters. I had to ask my friend about this. They said its for convenience of the Canadian. Prices here are higher than Blaine or just USA Mainland. On top of it, you can only do so much here. I think I still prefers going to the USA Mainland/ Blaine than here. But I have to say they do have a nice park. Go on nice sunny days.
