Tom & Donna,

We traveled thru Canada in 2010 on our way to Alaska. If you will have any guns on board you need to have a permit filled out with the proper information. You can obtain the correct forms off of the internet. No pistols allowed! If you are going to have over $10,000 in cash on board you need to declare that at the border as well.

I would recommend getting about $2,000 in Canadian money once you are in Canada; it is just easier to use than paying with American dollars. We also brought $10,000 in cash because MasterCard and DiscoverCard charge a 3% surcharge on all purchases. So when you buy a tank of diesel at $5/gallon X 100 gallons = $500 you get to pay an additional $15. Doesn't sound like much until you get back home.

I have never been in Mexico & I wouldn't go now for all the tea in China! Too dangerous! But that's just me.
