Bus works fine - and the ferry to Victoria

Avoid private auto if at all possible - most of the time it is a horrid hassle

And they insult you, and your elderly parents - small children - to boot

Just how can the Euros have about 20 countries with NO - nada - none - boarders?

America is in the 18th century in so many ways

Get a nexus pass, silly. Those people passing you on the right lane have them.

hey how many of us in Washington would vote to cede and become part of BC? Let Oregon join, too. Then we would hav e theborder restrictions where we want them -- at the California line!

The free wi-fi at the border is probably a relatively inexpensive way of pacifying all the laptop users waiting in line, and keeping them from going postal.

Pre-9/11, I used to regularly go up to Vancouver for a weekend's entertainment, at least every month or two. Now I avoid that stupid border crossing like the plague. I haven't gone up to Vancouver just for the hell of it in a couple years. Now I only go if I really have to. Last time, I flew.

sigh... During the barbarism of the late '60s I took the train to Vancouver, to see the Dead (etc) play at the PNE. About 5 minutes from Blaine the coach door opened, and a man in a sort of uniform walked slowly, whistling, to the center of the car, where he stopped, and said "We're about to enter Canada... and I'd like to know if anyone has anything to declare." After about 10 seconds of silence, he turned toward the next car upstream, saying "All right, then... enjoy your visit!" and strolled, whistling, on through the door at the far end... That was "Customs", Canadian-style. ^..^

Just rode my bike across the border at Lynden yesterday. My wait was 0 minutes. Actually, the guard had to wait about 1 minute for me to fish my passport out of my saddle bag.
