I think a lot of it is the border crossing red tape. We were within 25
miles of the Canadian border on our cruise to eastern Maine this summer
and elected not to go further because we didn't want to deal with the
aggravation of returning and clearing back in. Imagine that, returning
to a country where you were born, lived all your life, and served in
the armed forces at one point, only to be treated as one step above a
criminal suspect. Unbelievable.
