Shrinking Canadian dollar
Wondering how the state of the Canadian dollar will effect other Canadians travel plans. It has made our site rental jump from $3,200 American to a payment of $4,022.60 Canadian. ouch!

Marie was $2.50 a month more than the one on Padre Island. The only big savings is on booze and gas. To insure you come ahead, you would have to drive drunk a lot.

Do not forget to factor in the significantly lower cost of food, fuel, campgrounds, booze, entertainment and dining out and many other things in the USA. Once you get to south Texas most costs should be about 30% to 40+% lower than Canada so your biggest costs will be travel insurance and getting there.
