Visiting the Great White North Again

DATELINE: DETROIT, MI, 4:32 p.m. EST

Miles Today: Still Counting

I gotta make this fast today, gang. I'm on my way to Quebec, a town just outside of Montreal, so I'm sitting in the shadow of the Ambassador Bridge while my customs paperwork is being processed. I have about another half hour to wait, then if it's ready at that point, I fire up the truck and head across the bridge. (If it's not ready, I just wait some more 'til it is.)

I'm not going to get very far into Canada today, as my 14-hour window is dwindling--it ends at 6:15 p.m. EST. So the sooner they finish up the customs rigamarole, the better. But my load isn't due for delivery until Tuesday morning, so I have plenty of time to hike up the 401 to get there.

Since I'm going to be in Canada, and I don't have an international plan for my computer's phone card, I won't be able to keep you up-to-date with my Canuck adventures. I'm sure I won't be back on U.S. soil 'til at least Wednesday, so keep me in your thoughts if not on your web browser.

Thanks for following along. Drop me a line so I'll have pleny to read when I get back into the comm channels. And keep on truckin, eh?
