Being from Spokane (which is 90 miles from the border), we make many trips to Canada. They are always efficient and polite (even when they took our firewood and some sort of vegatable). The kids get a big kick because they are often asked who we are! They keep telling us that one of these days they will say they don't know us and that we tricked them into the car. I found out the hard way that flying into the country they can be a lot more picky about your documents than driving in, but I got in and will be better prepared the next time.
