ah I see. Need to get your cat Nexus :)

Actually one question - did they ask to see your passport too or did you just hand them your Nexus card? It used to be that all you needed for land crossings was your nexus card but now I hear reports that you need your passport too

Just nexus this time.... However, I was advised at my nexus interview a few years back to always carry my passport because they had the right to ask for it at anytime and pull me aside for additional questinong at anytime. So I always carry it. I've been asked for it before, only usa side though.

Thats just too funny, my husband and I did that 2 days before you did. I came up with him after he came down for the weekend of his birthday and we pretty much got the same questions and the extra special bonus question of "have you been in contact with anyone with ebola" and we were on our way. And I was super prepared for any questions he had.

Also even funnier, we also went through the thousand islands.

And my hubby and I have been long distance for 4 years 10 months (and again who's counting)
