Just got back from a trek out to Michigan from Maine to help an old friend celebrate his marriage. I had heard wild reports of long waits at the border crossings at Buffalo and Port Huron, and the route is definitely more pleasant and shorter via Ontario. I checked the internet and determined that the tie-ups for cars were supposed to be more like 20 minutes and was pleased to find out that the waits were in fact 10 to 15 minutes, with no inspection of my van. I did come prepared with my passport and other ID, and I did admit that I was transporting a banjo but they appeared not to be alarmed.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
