    Have to laugh, watching the news in vegas though, saying foriegn tourists spend more, tip more ect

    Doubt they were taling about Brits - we're notorious in the US for being bad tippers...

    Visas issued back in the 80s were intended to be valid for life (I had one) but the rules changed and it was decided that the visa lapsed with the passport. Check this out with your visa - it is probably no longer valid.

    Yes, I was told a few years ago that my US visa, issued in 1987, expired when that passport (the one with the visa stamped in) did, in 1995.

    There's already a $6 fee for entering the US under the VWP. If you enter by air, it's included in the cost of your ticket. If you enter by land, you have to pay it yourself.
