Indeed we had some great meals in the old town. I was just very disappointed to see so many many many T shirt shops. This was 15 years ago. I Esp liked the tour of the fort where the English kicked butt. Of course the history of the area where the rally is going to be is very different.

Should be a good time, esp in the vintage section.

Wooooooo Hoooooooooo Check is in the mail!
I stay away from those shops. A nice snifter of Cognac at Le Château Frontenac is sooooooo nice.
Hey, thanks for the nudge Gail!!!

Okay guys, everyone is expressing an interest in this rally, but according to the host Claude Bouchier, only 18 tt have registered so far. Now we all know, this is going to be a GREAT RALLY

!!! So lets show our support to the HOST UNIT! Early registration allows the host to get better entertainment, etc if he knows the exact tt count. So...........what are we all waiting for?

Gail,
You make such a good rally cheerleader that I think you need your own rally to run!

I still have a couple of openings for 2006 if you are interested in running a rally next year (there are openings in May, July and October).

myboyburt · 05-01-2005, 01:50 PM

Yep, you are right Gail. I'll send in my $$ tomorrow. I also need to make reservations at the campground in Littleton, NH for the NE Unit Express Caravan. Will do this tomorrow too.

Hey Gail,
Just made some final plans for that week and it looks like we'll be able to join the caravan up in New Hampshire earlier in the week

. I'll get my $$ in the mail and will contact the caravan leader about our plans for joining them. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi folks

This is a voice come from Trois-Rivières Québec. Region1 rally is coming very fast and we hope many members will attend to this rally. Don't wait and send your reservation soon.
There's not only olympic pool in the area but a lot of shopping too. A lot of things to do. Just a walk away for restaurant, shopping amusements, etc.

Keep in touch

Welcome to the forum.

What's the story on crossing into Canada. Any suggestions. I already know that firearms are a big no no.

Not true. I went in & out of the southern border of Canada this time last year with both my dog, 12Ga & more than ample ammunition. Although, I am not familiar with their policy with hand guns the shotgun instigated only a minor delay.

The dog rabies certificate was provided the border inspectors ... the first entry from US required bringing the shotgun into the inspection station, the serial number was recorded, a small fee was paid and we went on about our travels. They did provide me with paper work for the weapon that was used on other entry/exits.

I may recommend that you have your vet provide you with a 'Travel Health Certificate' (like the airlines require) for each of your animals just before you leave on your trip. I did not have one, and although not a problem for me, this may avoid a hassle with an uneducated inspector.

We are planning on going. Guinea Pigs too!!

Over59 · 05-17-2005, 06:50 AM

What about happy hour supplies?

myboyburt · 05-17-2005, 11:07 AM

From what I have read we are only allowed to bring in 1.5 liters of wine (without paying duty). I'll be looking into finding a Sams Club or Walmart Super Center once we cross the Canadian border to stock up on our happy hour supplies.

I'm also wondering how the border crossing will go as we will be traveling with the NE Unit's Express Caravan (Both going into Canada and returning to the United States).

I doubt the border crossing experience will change because you are in a caravan. You and your vehicles are analyzed individually going over the border. I took part in a small caravan going to the Region One Rally in Lunenburg a few years back and some people had problems and some didn't. Some tips:

1) Know EXACTLY how much alcohol you have on board and be prepared to declare it.
2) Carry receipts for any expensive electronics.
3) Prepare in advance if you have pets (see the "pet" link I posted above).
4) Know EXACTLY what you have for fruits and vegetables and be prepared to declare it. This is more of a concern coming back into the US because the US is more strict. If you don't want to waste time in having your trailer inspected, then don't bring fruits or vegetables into the US from Canada. I'm not saying you won't get inspected, but it will reduce your chances of an inspection.
5) Stay in your vehicle unless you are asked to step out. This will minimize stress for the border people.
6) Declare all firearms.

That's all I can think of right now.
