Just crossed the border and am in Canada!!!!!! I did it.  Having a bite and then onto Saint Johns.  Should arrive at my lodgings in about 1 1/2 hours.  Called my hosts to let them know I was going to be late, very nice - said they are just hanging out and not to rush.  Whoever estimates travel times must have a very young bladder, but there are really nice and clean and friendly stops through Maine and here in New Brunswick.  Was way to honest at the border crossing, should have simply said I had no booze.  After I proudly declared all I had for hostess gifts and my own consumption, the guard cued that it was all for me to lower the duty tax.  Still got hit for more than all the wine was worth!  Next time I will keep my mouth shut!  The Mets and Yankees are on the TV here.  Am having my first sampling of Canadian cuisine.  Not that hungry, so just ordered a grilled cheese.  It is good, doesn't look like the way I make it, cheese is a really dark orange, but it is good and filling.  Everyone I have encountered has been so nice, friendly and helpful.  I think this was a good idea and that I am going to have a great adventure.  Thank God my speedometer shows miles and kilometers, hadn't paid attention to that before.  Also, that I was changing time zones didn't make an impression until I just did.
