His family lives there.</p> <p>But I keep telling him I don't know. All that maple syrup, and Timmy's, and hockey...and worst of all, the universal healthcare--seems to make a person soft. ;-)</p> <p> And plus, who would bring his family duty-free liquor if we didn't live in the U.S.? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada/page/2#post-744617 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:22:19 +0000 Anagram 744617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to Edmonton, Toronto and surrounding 'burbs, (many times), and Montreal.

I just told DH that we really need to go to Vancouver since it's not that far north of Seattle, and we go there all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada/page/2#post-744567 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:13:59 +0000 IcebergMom 744567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yep!

I think the only downside to going to Canada was the epic wait in the queue to get through US customs. Short of performing The Ring Cycle in full, followed by a staged reading of War And Peace, I don't know how they could have made the line longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada/page/2#post-744472 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:00:27 +0000 prettylizy 744472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@apis: fact--- my reaction to this was to apologize for over-helpful Canadians. We have apology issues too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada/page/2#post-744465 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:59:05 +0000 mrs. 64 744465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to Montreal and loved it.

Loved all of them: absolutely fantastic food, beautiful scenery, and some seriously over-helpful people in the street. I had to stop opening my street map when walking, because people would ask if I needed help so many times that it took half an hour to walk a block! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada#post-744431 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:55:00 +0000 sunny 744431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup born and raised! </p> <p>@tysonja: what are you going to get at TJs?

How I love thee. DH's job will have us moving quite a bit and my #1 request is always that it's somewhere in Canada.</p> <p>I've lived here my whole life and can't picture living anywhere else. Maybe England or Switzerland? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-to-canada#post-744399 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:49:40 +0000 .twist. 744399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: haha ok, but really who wants to go to Ottawa?? </p> <p>Lol.
