Main issue I see is if the departure record isn't updated by the time I arrive into IAH on Monday afternoon - is that all automated these days with ESTA and lack of I-94W forms being completed? I can easily explain what I've done to CBP (and keep copies of itineraries and boarding passes etc.), but I guess I'm just wondering whether I should be prepared for additional questioning because of the (lack of) time between trips?
Or is this just run of the mill and CBP have seen it all before?
Cheers
I don't think you'll have a problem (famous last words). I doubt, even in the days of I-94W's that their system would be updated so quickly. Personally, when I've done this before, it's never been an issue - for example short trips to Canada or Australia. (UK-US-AUS-US-UK in four days)
As you suggest, keep the records and try not to look too nervous!
