    Don't they sell milk in Canada ?


    It used to be common for folks that live along the US/Canada border to cross the border to purchase milk, groceries & fuel because of market and exchange rate fluctuations.

    I have been away for a while and expect that with the post 9/11 situation that this is no longer a viable option.

    I made a trip to BC in January to purchase a pickup. I saved about 25% on the purchase. It was worth spending 2 1/2 days.
  • yes but it costs twice as much due to to marketing boards.

  • According to the website, Fri 4 Pm, Sat at 7 PM & Sun at 11 AM. And yes, the seminars are co-presented by reps from Baja Amigos (Baja info) and Caravanas de Mexico (Mainland info). Both of those are caravan companies with adjoining booths near the main entrance, but the seminars are not about caravans, they are general info, the same seminar they gave at the Phoenix Good Sam rally in March, which was similar to the ones Mike & Terri Church gave in years past. How to handle paperwork, safety, & all that sort of stuff. They are also giving seminars on Snowbirding in general. More of interest to Canadians as it deals with regs about spending time in the US. Lots of minefields with that one these days with every crossing getting computerized. A Canadian going across for 5 min to get milk loses a day now. Apparently lots of folks getting nailed with that one.

    What time are the seminars? Plan on attending Friday and, possibly, Saturday.
    Thanks. Are any of the by Baja Amigos Tours?
