We just signed up for the Fantacy tour 59 day trip. I have a little anxiety about the trip especially the added mileage from Texas. Any Tips do's and dont's would be apreciated. You mentioned "tt" what is this refering too.
Read the border crossing instructions about guns, alcohol, firewood, etc. Frozen food is O.K., fresh fruits might be a problem depending on the mood of the border customs people at that moment. Also, best advice is to preload your CC as they do ask if you have cash, as I found out in returning to the YT from Skagway and had to actually show the customs lady the cash. Keep your answers to the question to a single word: Yes or No. Take off your sunglasses and hats prior to stopping. Some want you to open your unit so they can enter; some just want to talk through the window. Questions are generally the same, but there are variations and additional questions as well. When we went through to re-enter the US by Glacier NP, the agent noticed that my last name and my better half's last names did not match, which led to additional questions to her to make sure I wasn't forcing her to go with me, including what we did for a living and when we said retire, we had to explain what de did before we retired in some detail. The customs guy wasn't lonely because there was a line of vehicles behind us waiting.
In general, be polite, be brief, be courteous. Then onc3e you pass them and they are in your mirror, then cuss them out if necessary.
