I’m a Canadian and I fell for an American on a weekend trip to the south during Christmas. I was operating the scoreboard and he was working the basketball court. I didn’t plan for it to happen, it just did. We have been dating ever since and we’ve never dealt with any cultural, language or currency issues that we couldn’t handle…except when it came to physically crossing the border.
My Michigan man use to come and pick me up at a Canadian train station and when we crossed together no one would believe we were dating. We had to answer all types of question from where we met to answering the exact day and year that the other was born! I was more nervous when it came to crossing the border than I ever was when I met his parents.
From an experienced cross-country voyageur, a passport really does help the border crossing process go faster. If you don’t already have one, you should check out these websites to find out what you need, where you need to go and who you need to speak with. Here’s the link you need to go to if you’re from Canada, the U.S.A. or the U.K.
Things have gotten easier for us since we always cross at the same crossing. Some of the crossing guards even recognize us and will probably notice if we break up, but for those with a budding relationship with that hottie from spring break, know that there are ways to get to your honey quicker and faster…just don’t forget his birthday!

You think cockroaches in your hotel room is bad? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. In this story, MSNBC contributor Christopher Elliott makes you feel a little better about that time you came home and your dog had tried to eat his way out of the house. Here’s just one example:
Cliff Woodrick returned from a four-week vacation in Quebec to a gruesome sight and an even more unpleasant smell: the corpses of more than two dozen fish bobbing up and down in his algae-coated aquarium.
“We had a storm that knocked out the power while I was gone,” he remembers. “The three pump filters went offline, and some of the electrical connections in the house were fried.”
Yuck.
They get better. Or worse, depending how you look at it. And be sure to check out the tips on avoiding these calamities, as well. Read more…
According to GORP:
Not many anglers are aware that South Dakota is home to some of the prettiest and best trout fishing east of the Rocky Mountains. Most associate western South Dakota with the colossal visages of U.S. presidents carved into Mount Rushmore.
But most tourists don’t know that a few presidents also made this area their fishing mecca. Both Calvin Coolidge and Theodore Roosevelt regularly fished these intimate streams.
The Black Hills are home to over 400 miles of trout streams and 14 lakes. Sportsmen can cast fly lines in year-round solitude surrounded only by ponderosa pine forests. Brook trout populate the headwaters of the streams, while wild brown trout and stocked rainbow trout inhabit the main stems of the Black Hills waters.
