For example, . at. one time I trotted each one of our kids in turn around various parts of Europe and South America. I had _ their and I was their natural mother BUT I had no proof that the kids were out of the country with the permission of their father — currently at home baby- sitting the rest of the family. Luckily, I never ran into problems that I couldn't handle. Once, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I tried to board a bus to San Jose dos Campos - about a three hour trip into the hills. The bus driver yelled at me in Portuguese, | bellowed back in English. He wouldn't let us on and | waved my tickets under his nose. I checked the number of the bus. Right. It had the destination on the roller over the windshield. Right again. After a ten-minute Brazilian stand-off, the driver shook his head and Iet us board. He shook his head suspiciously at my cight-year old daughter. Later I learned that it is illegal to transport a minor child from one city to another in Brazil without a governameat permit Today, if [I were taking one or both or our two minor *399 WAIKIKI Al Onty WAIKIK 144 $499 a, 13 Nights Air & Hote!

Some countries are notorious for their border regulations regarding kids. Mexico demands the above mentioned ‘letter if both parents aren't accompanying the child. This is especially crucial if the parents are divorced — custody problems, you know. Here, you are well advised to bring with you all legal documents pertaining ' to the kids PLUS a notarized letter of permission. And, have it stamped by the consulate here, before you leave. Just a passport and a visa isn’t enough for many countries. Although you might get lucky, then again, you might get lucky only one way. Who needs to be trapped in Belgium while your charter flight is leaving from Amsterdam? If in doubt, get the regulations IN WRITING from the consulate of any country you are intending to visit. This can be even more important if you will be travelling with a child not your own. LOW AIR FARES VANCOUVER DEPARTURES TORONTO trom $249 .

As for the pies, one ball of > your trusty. pastry, will make ,,. the necessary two ‘crusts. Before you peel and core the apples, dust the bottom crust with about 1 Tbsp.

Lots of luck trying to get the kid back home from Poland. Of course, this applies to adults too and may become very sticky if some breach of reguiations in the former home has occurred. For example, it is against the law to avoid compulsory military service in some counries. Imagine the problem if the person emigrated to Canada as a baby. obtained citizenship here, and then at 18 returned to the auld sod for a visit. If still considered a citizen, he could get clapped in jail and/or the army. Even visiting the friendly old USA has become stickier in the past few years.
