Hey all..I thought I'd come to the experts on this. A friend of mine that lives in Canada has asked me and another friend to come up there for a visit. I've never traveled out of the States before, and I know there is a few of you that have with your trach kids. And a few of you that live in Canada. Is there anything special I need to bring and/or be aware of? Other then identification to get in and out. And of course enough supplies plus extra for my visit? We'll be there from friday to sunday. Thanks!
Becky

Becky,
We are cheeseheads LOL! You should have no probem, it sounds like you have everything you need and ID is the most important thing. Our crossing guards seem to be a little bit more relaxed than yours........here anyways, I travel across often (yours seem more strict particularly after 911). I know that Indie can't get travel insurance to the U.S. because of her condition so that would probably be a problem for you and just make sure you know where your most available emergency facility is ( OF COURSE YOU WON'T NEED IT, JUST GOOD TO HAVE A PLAN). The most important thing is to have tons of fun. Where are you headed anyway? Have fun Kelly

Kelly, thanks! Its good to know I won't need anything special. I was worried about the electrical outlets being compatible with ours here. I didn't know if I'd need a converter or anything like that for plugging in my equipment. Â*We'll going to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Its about a 7 hour drive from where I am in Michigan. Where in Canada are you at?
Becky

Becky,
No worries, the electrical is at a North American standard, you will have no probems. We are on the West Coast of Canada in British Columbia. Sudbury is very East of us. My husband grew up in Ontairo and knows the area well. We will be traveling there soon (inlaws are in Toronto). We are a good 4 day drive from Ontario. Have a blast while you are there. Kelly

Canada is awesome, very beautiful and wonderfully clean, I've only been there once and would love to go up there on a family vacation again......my favorite things Canadian are Labatt's Blue and Rush.
