Chris, this is the first I've heard of your Canada trip -- are you driving all the way from Mexico?? What's your route through Canada? Sounds like we need a separate thread just to give you unsolicited advice!! ;)

And yes, booze in Canada is very expensive. On the bright side, I drank a little less while I was there and lost some weight. I gained it back when we returned to the US, but it was fun while it lasted.

A friend of mine told me that although California wines are far more expensive in Canada than in the US, Italian wines are about the same as in the US. Don't know why that would be true.

Hey Dan, we are headed across the west through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, up through Las Vegas to Reno, then to Coos Bay, Or. and on to Vancouver. From there we will travel two months or more across to Kingston, Nova Scotia and then down through Maine a stop in New York, over through Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and then straight down to San Antonio before heading home.

I will be changing the blog and setting it up for "The Great North American Tour". We look forward to visiting all the people we have met on line over the years. The blog will be used as a form of communication for our stops. Four months should be long enough although for my personal taste the rest of my life would be better :)

We decided to avoid California to reduce costs as we can bypass it, but on this trip is the must see. I have a feeling we may cut over to northern California from Reno once we get that far. We plan on boondocking as much as possible. So I am hoping people will chime in on the blog as we make our way around the U.S. and Canada. Three more weeks and counting.

Not sure what forum to post our trip in once we take off.
