1) call your cell provider and you can buy Canadian coverage for the length of your trip for a very nominal cost. BE CAREFUL...they will try to sell you a regular monthly Canadian plan which "can be cancelled when you get to the States". If you do that, you have just started over on your cell contract.
2) If you use your Chase card, they will charge you 3% on all charges. Shop around with your other cards for a better rate. We just came back from BC and I used Cabelas Visa with a 1% charge. 3) Diesel in BC was around $1.67 per litre. 4) They have some new concerns re bringing back fruit and vegetables into States so check before coming back. I had 1 apple...and they threatened to fine me $300 but finally just took it away. Bananas are okay.
Have fun and be safe!
