We are travelling to the US (from Australia) on the Visa Waiver Program. We
wanted to cross the Canadian border to spend a couple of days in Toronto and
also do a daytrip to Tijuana. Has anyone had any problems returning to the
US?

I'm planning a trip to the states which will probably last a couple of weeks
or so. I'm hoping to fly into San Francisco, travel to Altanta and
Washington DC and then fly back to the UK from there. I see that there is a

We'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
Best wishes
