We're Going To Canada!

After a long wait, the visa arrived from Mexico City. Not only did the visa come, but it includes multiple entries and good until Nov. 2019.

Viva Canada! Vive la Canada! Leaving Mexico April 15th.
  • No snow here on Southern Vancouver Island! In fact we've only had snow up on the nearby hills just a few times this past winter.
  • If you cross to US at Laredo and get on I-35, you can follow 35 all the way to Duluth, Mn which is a couple hrs from the Canadian border.
    Then US 53 takes you to International Falls, MN which is across from our town.
    This puts you almost dead centre of Canada to head east or west.

    Oh ya, wife texted with grandson there today, from Florida, and he said the snow banks were so high the road had narrowed to where the garbage truck could not fit down the street..

    We head home Apr 1st but don't figure the snow will be gone yet. :S

    Safe travels.

    Congratulations, I guess...but...if you don't mind my asking:
    Since when is a Visa required for Canada???


    If you're a Mexican you need a visa and it is a bureaucratic nightmare. Trust me.

    Wow- I had no idea! So much for NAFTA, eh?

    Have a good time anyway....:)
