BaronThanks for the positive feedback! Good point about the accents, especially in the US. I do like coming home but it's also great to visit away as well.

JohnI lived in Scotland for a year - although driving took a while to see a new culture, flying was something else! Two hours on a plane opened up such a diverse number of cultures!

bobskootHmm - maybe I'll have to try your route this summer. So many possibilities.

Don't worry, I didn't have to pay the $8, she just gave me some stern advice!

John & Baron:
Not to put words in Dave's mouth, but going abroad to me, means leaving the continent

and Dave:

I was just down in Bellingham recently too but I usually go south on Portal Way from the Peace Arch. The road is usually deserted and south of Ferndale you head into farmland and eventually you come out at the Bellingham harbour. Looks like you had an enjoyable sunny day. Too bad about the $8. customs duty.

I've lived in England most of my life so abroad always meant a journey by boat or plane. Then I lived in France and Germany for a bit, and now out here, but there's still something a bit weird about being able to get a bus or drive down the road and find a completely different culture. I envy you a little bit, though. At least when you go abroad they still speak the same language!

An absolutely superb posting, funny, witty and well written. Just remember that 90 minutes South of the guy with an accent there is another guy with an accent different from the guy 90 minutes North of him...and so it goes.
I loved your experience with Big Sista at Canada Customs... This could only happen in Canada. In the States they would have taken your 50cc Scoot apart looking for the undeclared moonshine you were hiding...lol
Always gives me a sense of well being when crossing the border back home.
