We want to join for sure this year, but we need lots of advice! For starters...where should we stay??

It's a tie Jessica. I'm booked too. My sister, kathy, has to wait for management to wake up and transfer funds so she can make reservations. You should think about the way we went last year. We went to Cape Vincent, NY and took the ferry to Wolf Island (Canada). When the ferry drops you off you have to show your passport, answer questions from Customs, then drive 5 miles across the island to get in line for the next ferry. They have The Best bakery which we enjoyed so much while waiting for the 2nd ferry to take us to Kingston (Canada). The ferries were great for stretching the dog's legs and the scenery was beautiful.

I'm in! I'm making my reservation as soon as I get home.

About how long does it take to get there? My Explorer is going to need a lot of work if I expect it to make it to Canada!

hmm....they won't let me book my trailer yet :) I loved renting the camper last time, it worked out SO WELL, and it was nice to be able to chill on the deck. They also had wireless internet which was nice :)

Dawn...we left at 3 a.m. and got to Bancroft at 4 p.m, but we stopped alot and lost about an hour waiting on ferries (well worth it). I think we're going to rent a minivan. If you're worried about a breakdown, just get AAA (I really should follow my own advice). Word of warning, when you cross the border and your cell phone flashes "Roaming," hang up. Boy did I get hit with overage charges. I do hope Ashton can go with you. My son smiled when he saw her picture.
 
I'm dying laughing here at the thought of a Newf get together and wedding at the same hotel. I can just picture a herd of muddy wet Newfs coming up to kiss the bride:!rolling:


Just tried to book, the hotel is sold out already.

A cell phone note- Verizon has a program that will include Canada and for which they will charge you only the elapsed time you expect to be in Canada. For 2010 Newstock we were there 10 days (had other places to go). Call them and talk about what you need. There were very helpful. Assume other carriers may have something similar.

How long is everyone booking for??

And Stacy, not only am I bringing her, but I am also bringing chicken to stuff in your son's pockets so he's so busy with the multitudes of dogs following him, he won't have a chance to talk to my daughter!! :!rolling:


And don't show him the picture of her from her winter formal on FB.
