    The last time I was in Canada was about 20 years ago. A guy in a booth asked us if we had anything to declare. I said yeah, we had a good time. He laughed and opened the gate. I guess times have changed.
    LOL! That's cause you were going home...those customs officers are American...it should have been harder getting into Canada. But 20 years ago if you were white and didn't speak with a russian accent, I don't suppose either country was hard to enter/leave.

    I've been lucky travelling in and out of both countries so far. Delta seems to always hold onto my luggage in Boston for an extra day or two though.

    Yeah, we had no trouble going in or out back then.

    Delta is funny that way. Maybe they were looking for speakers.

    Ha, this thread reminds me - does anyone else find it more difficult to get out of Walmart than into another country these days?

    The Walmart in my town has these huge cancer-causing, x-ray using anti-theft scanner things, a robotic talking voice that shouts at you if you set the scanner off, kind of like that robot in Robo-Cop that malfuntioned and kills everyone, and of course, the 67 year old ladies that pincer attack everyone who tries to leave to get a look see at what you have in your bag...If they weren't so darn cheap on everything I don't think I'd go back

    Hello, I'm a misanthrope...don't ask me why, just take a good look around.

    "Men would rather believe than know" -Sociobiology: The New Synthesis by Edward O. Wilson

    "The great masses of the people...will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one" -Adolph Hitler

    "We are never deceived, we deceive ourselves" -Goethe

    If you repeat a lie often enough, some will believe it to be the truth...

    I guess it's true. Maybe that's why they have amovie based on that now.

    And then you have to get out of the parking lot. You have to wait for the old ladies to cross in front of you with their walkers. Then when you're about to go, a half dozen teenagers run in front of you. More walkers and then you can move forward a few inches at a time. Still getting dirty looks from the 19 year olds who yell, "pedestrians have the right of way!" Yup, that's why I stopped. Did they notice that I stopped? Finally, you get to the end of the parking lot where there is a major traffic jam up. Everyone has a stop sign but no one wants to let anyone else go. So much fun.
