As BOS was backed up 7 months and my wife's membership expired in five months, we drove to New Brunswick as they had hours free at a time on multiple days. Two great fellows without much to do there..we were in and out quickly slowed down by only pleasant conversation. We were told they were aware of BOS scheduling issues and an effort was underway to get Canadian fellows down to BOS to help out clear the backlog. Easy trip up, spent the night in Portland, and back to BOS the next day. Coming back through the border into the US, the border guard said he had had people from even Connecticut and Pennsylvania make the drive up.
