Try entering through Canadian side customs @ Thousand Islands Region of NY

In the mid 80's I traveled through Canada in my dads Delta 98 with a friend for a few days.
When we got to US Customs near Alexandria Bay the only question the officer had was "Do you boys have any beer in the car"
My reply was " NO SIR-we have 2 cases of ale"
He only said "get outta hear".

OH- the good old days.

Marty,
You want to talk about the good ole days...lol
In 1996 I lost my wallet the day before I was going to Cabo San Lucas. I flew all the way there and back with a Sam's Club Card...lol
Things have changed!

In 1996 I lost my wallet the day before I was going to Cabo San Lucas.

I thought I lost my wallet in San Diego about the same year.
I had a bank card and a few non-ID cards in my suitecase.
Called US air and they said to show up early and I would not have a problem if I flew back with the travel companion "bimbo" I brought with me.
I was using buddy passes and had open dates.

While there I rented a Mustang GT convertible and we could not find my wallet at night using a flashlight-No dome light.
Next morning while driving down to Lajola I found it on the floor right in front of me.
That almost ruined my vacation. I canceled my cards but still had some money available on the cards that I did not think were lost,
But not as much as I wanted to spend in the next few days.

2 Days before we left I got food poisoning from a bad deep fried scallop at a seafood restaurant along the shore near where the charters are docked.
5 Visits to Mexico with no problems- then I get sick at a nice place in USA.

If they new about the gas I was going to release in the planes restroom I would never be allowed to fly again!

The Feds clarified this issue a few weeks ago. As long as you do not dock, or tie off ( anchoring not included ) a **** is NOT required to re-enter the country.

Last Summer, we went to Marineland, and had to answer a TON of questions going over, and barely a glance coming back.  Thought it was pretty funny that the only vehicle I noticed being searched just happened to have a bumper plastered with Grateful Dead and Phish stickers.  Each person had the requisite tye-dye shirts, sandals and beads in their hair.  I wonder what the authorities were looking for in that car.    **** hippies!
