Yesterday we had a relatively quiet day in the 5th wheel. A 'catch up' day of cleaning and some grocery shopping. It was great to see and spend time with the Vancouver gang.
Today? Not the best. Our plan was to head south and meander home the US route. Before we left, my laptop power cord broke. And you know me. It's my addiction, my crutch. Plus it is our 'link' to home when we travel in the US.
So, Ron headed to Future Shop for a replacement while I readied the RV for travel. It was tough to spend the $90 when it is my intention to buy a new laptop. I am hoping to find one in the US. And back at the Future Shop, Ron had to wait until the 10 am store opening. He wasn't real happy about that.
And off we go to the border. We buy a duty free vodka and we sit 1/2 hr in the lineup. We get pulled over for the Agriculture inspection because of the food in our fridge. It always happens. We pass the food inspection. The wood in our wood box? No way. I have warned Ron re this but he likes to think he can get away with it by saying it's lumber. Problem is, the "lumber" has bark. The US customs really doesn't like that. And, it turns out they don't seize wood as with other banned substances. We must return it to the Canadian side ourselves. So back we go. To Canada.
Now? We are on our way to Cultus Lake, BC. We will burn that firewood and we will probably cross the border later this week. At a different crossing! And dammit, I am going to enjoy that duty free vodka that we brought back over the border. Illegally!
