Grammar Nazis around here are pretty hardcore!!

Along the same lines as an(!) immigration official asking to see a printout of a flight out of the country, I've also been asked on occasion for my hotel information while in-country. Not that they've ever scrutinized the printout, but having it made the conversation really short.

While the printouts don't really prove anything and aren't going to deter anyone with a seriously nefarious purpose, I guess they're a way for an immigration official to ferret out people who don't really have a plan to leave the country or don't know where they're staying, perhaps planning on sleeping on the streets or beaches.

I read where Bermuda has (had?) a problem with illegal camping, and as such is one of the countries that actually asks to see your hotel printout when entering the country. They did so for me, even though I was traveling with wife, mother, two small children, and no camping equipment!
