IMPORTANT CANADIAN INFO PLEASE READ

[Cichlidqueen <cichlidqueen@yahoo.com>]

Hello Everyone,  since I just went to Canada 2 weeks ago I want to share my 
experience with the border crossings so you know what to expect. Upon entering 
Canada these were the questions asked.  
Drivers Licence Please
Where are you going?
When are you coming back?
Do you have anything to declare?
Do you have firearms in the vehecle?
And that was it for me, I was in.  I was surprised that they did not ask for 
proof of auto insurance.
 
Now coming back was another story.  It seems you must have some other form of 
Identification that shows you are an American Citizen.  A passport or US birth 
certiciate or if born overseas a american consulate signed birth certificate.  
They did not give me a hard time about it and I got back into the country.  But 
it what they said was required.
So if you are going be prepared.  Now about the plants, just forget it, or you 
will a nervous wreck sitting in line at the border.  And they have cameras and 
they are watching for nervous looking people like a hawk.
Also do not use Yahoo map it for driving instructions to the Aquarium up 
there..  I did 3 years ago and the directions were wrong.  So after driving 
around lost for awhile we finally figured it out.
So on a more positive note, the fish club people were really very nice and 
friendly.  They converted the Canandian Auctions total to American dollars and 
accepted American currency.  For you killie people,  they do have several very 
experienced killie breeders in their club.  And I was able to get that largest 
killie at the auction.  Which I could not find here.  I had so much fun, I am 
envious of anyone going.  It makes me wish I still had tons of tanks.  I have 
plenty of fish stuff and so no reason to go.  Estimated travel time from south 
Seattle is 3 1/2 hours, not including border wait.  If there is anything else I 
can answer for y'all just email me.  If you do go you will have a good time!    
Sandy
