About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We have just completed a transatlantic cruise that ended in Southampton, England. Before leaving, we completed the ETA form, for which I created a video of the step-by-step process. HOWEVER, it caused a hot mess when embarking on the cruise.
