    Default I hope those guys in Canada appreciate what it's costing me to go to their event.

    Found out my passport expired in April of this year. I had to go through one of those passport expediting services to get it back in time for the event.


    • passport photos $10 bucks
    • passport fee $170 bucks
    • expedite fee $200 bucks
    • next day delivery of paperwork $30 bucks

    So I'm into it a little over $400 bucks right now but I'm sure it will be worth it.

    They just raised the passport photos to take more money from us...imagine $50.00 more per passport x 20 million people per year = 1 billion dollars of increased revenue!

    In NewYork they offer an EDL license which i have and it acts as a passport which can be used for boats but not airplane so i can get across the boarder way easier you may want to check your state. Oh by the way it only costs $30.00.

    I work with a lady who immigrated from Quebec and she's good people so I think it's totally worth it.

    Lamont!

    When will you be here in Canada? I'd love to see you before I deploy overseas!

    As for the food, try a good Poutine from a place called "La Belle Province". You won't regret it!

    Cheers!

    You guys definitely need to try the poutine, but "la belle province" is far from the best one, let me tell you.

    I do not know the Magog area very well, so I cannot recommend places.

    I'd really like to go to this event, but seeing my spyder is still in the shop, I do not know if I would make it.

    If I make it, the poutine is on me for attending spyderlovers.
