Not sure if you got my phone message this morning....
Went to regional head office for my bank downtown and they don't keep a
large amount of furrin' currency on hand...so I had to order a wad of
$100.00 'merican bills.
Won't be in till Thursday morning.
I went to customs and the guy said I could get the 'Form 1' at the border.
They advised I call the local American Consulate and the US Customs people
at Calais Maine re some US law about needing 72 hours notice before
exporting a US registered vehicle. Had to leave message at Consulate...but
the US Border guys said a small boat trailer is no problem
I have one more call to make to the Canadian Customs to make sure the
trailer complies with Canadian regulations.
Will advise...

*hot off the presses*
Just got off the phone with the 'Registry of Imported Vehicles' division of
Canada Customs and they confirm that the trailer is in compliance with
Canadian laws.
Only odd thing.... the VIN indentifies as a '2005' trailer... not a 2004
model.
Hope this doesn't jack up your price!

Always wanted to visit Cuba for sun & fun.
That might be a good way to get a free vacation down there courtesy of the

Really? Fine by me.

No, no - price is the price.

I did get your call - about an hour ago. For some reason, I didn't
get notified.

No problem - we'll set it up for whenever.

I was thinking Friday...but with the long weekend coming it might be smarter
for a couple of retired guys like us to wait until Tuesday.
All the crazy drivers should be back to work by then and out of our way.
Antway, it looks like all my ducks are in a row (at least they will be by
1030 hrs on Thursday).
I tried to convince the wife to make the trip with me, overnighting around
Old Orchard Beach but the dog might be a problem at the border.

That works fine for me - no problems.

I ran into that once. Could take the dog to Canada, but had to
quarentine it on the way back.

Pretty stupid.

Hey Don, read Harry's post, and then read yours. Is that necessary?

I've got my passport out, a fistfull of 'merican dollahs & a full tank of
gas. I'm ready to roll.
Should we pick the 1st fine day after the Labour Day weekend? What's your

Perfect...
Lets make it Tuesday...I'll keep an eye out for any bad weather reports in
the meantime.
I was wondering if it would be better to meet you at a town or something
just in case we have any difficulty with the trailer wiring. (Bangor or
Calais?)
Do you carry any tools at all? I don't want to bring my fancy Craftsman
socket set in case an over zealous border guard tries to make me pay
duty/taxes on it.

Pick one - doesn't matter to me. As to the wiring, if you have a four
connector connection, it should work fine. I'll bring an adaptor kit
with me just in case, but that shouldn't be a problem.

I always have tools with me - no problems.

Shouldn't need them though.
