Thanks, Iluv, I appreciate the support. I had never heard this designation before. I did check out the airport map and it looks fairly simple. And I forgot US Customs can be cleared prior to leaving Canada. I've only seen this before in Bermuda and I believe Aruba. I'm not quite sure what "GST" is.
