> I haven't been outside the US since before the WTC attack, but never had any trouble. The rule I heard when I asked when getting my passport was, "Sufficient medication for the length of your stay and about a week's more" -- in other words, no problem unless you pack a year's worth for a three day jaunt.

> And do you have to pass Customs from Canada? I've only ever driven there, and we passed the border crossing without any real questions of any sort -- beyond the Canadians looking at us kinda funny when we showed up early-ish saying, "Yeah, we're from California and we're here for pleasure and only for a few hours..." (Wonder why he became an EX-boyfriend?) Once I said, "We're staying in Seattle with family for a week, and I've never been to Vancouver" they let us through with only a little dirty look at the EXbf.when i went into the U.S. they checked my stuff like crazy (like actually damaged it), when they foudn my meds they were really skeptical, but i had a photocopy of the perscription so they couldn't do anything (as much as those evil Yanks may have wanted to).... arrrg .... (drove from toronto to buffalo)
