    1:07 AMEN! Always better to leave early and have time to wait there, then stress over being late because you left late.

    Allie, I've said it before and I've got to say it again.....Your face smiles constantly even when your not smiling and yes you are a dream, don't let the Trent take you for granted.....Who would not let that smiling face over the border?....Enjoy your travels!!

    I recently have come across your videos and l love them! I used to live in DC and was surprised at 1:26 when I realized exactly where you were. I used to take that road to go kayaking every week. Keep up the great work.

    Allie makes Trent get up early. Making him grouchy all day. Allie sneaks in nap while Trent has to drive. Allie causes them to arrive an hour early. Allie sits across from Trent while crossing border smiling at border agent. Advantage Trent! I love you two & your videos.

    I cross the border into Canada 🇨🇦 at least once a month, I’m in Detroit just a tunnel or bridge away. Have been loving it for years and I still get tense when going across only been asked to pull to the side one time in 40 years, when I had something to declare (no problem). enjoy yourselves guys. Thank you for your experience.

    Great video!!!!! It's videos with content mentions like this that almost scream for me to start vlogging to show another type of "nomad living" as when most nomads are getting on the road or starting the day, I've barely got to sleep; my "prime" work hours (aka - when I can earn/trade money more easily or efficiently) are between midnight and 5 a.m. est. Makes it SUCH a joy when other rv'ers think I should be on their schedules so come knocking @ 10 - 11 a.m. even after I've explained I'm up most of the night... (Sorry, went off on a mini-rant there, lol).

  • @jaahdajinnahgoeswalkabout6819
    @jaahdajinnahgoeswalkabout6819 5 років тому

    I'm with u Allie - leave early - time up the sleeve is always useful. Ya don't have to stress so much and there''s time for unexpected things. Such a long drive - and he still didn't let u drive!!

  • @MrBi1166
    @MrBi1166 5 років тому +2

    You guys are so graceful, even in grumpy morning times and I told you so's.

  • @garrycole9187
    @garrycole9187 5 років тому +1

    I totally agree with Allie. You wake up, your mind can focus without getting distracted. When I was in school, this was my golden hours where I can accomplish twice or three times as much as I would say in the afternoon. You guys are perfect for each other, one is optimistic and a go-go person and the other is the opposite, but I won't say who is who, LOL. Border agents always looks for someone who is nervous, eyes shifting a lot, either not talkative or too talkative. Essentially there is a profile, lets face it that is what it is.

    • @eliza2850
      @eliza2850 5 років тому +1

      I wouldn't say they're opposites at all. Watch the other videos to see different takes. They're just individuals.

  • @terijackson9530
    @terijackson9530 5 років тому

    Glad to see the "squad" back together again! I get both sides of the "sleep-in? or get going" debate as I'm a solo traveler when I'm traveling and so being the one who does all of the driving I like to leave early just in case that mid-day sleepiness hits and then I have time to pull over and sleep if I need to. It's whatever works for you, right? LOL Love all of the comments about the "intense interrogation". Not sure if you edited any out, but I guess people forget that is a possibility that not all of his time in the van made it into the vlog. LOL Have fun in Toronto!! much love guys, xoxo

  • @lisamiller5823
    @lisamiller5823 5 років тому

    Glad you arrived to Canada safe and sound! I live in Buffalo. The border you were originally trying to cross sounds like the Whirlpool Bridge. That bridge is for Nexus card holders only, so it's a blessing that the van was too tall. That would have been more involved trying to cross and not having a pass. Depending on how many times you cross into Canada [and Mexico], it might be worth looking in to a Nexus pass. It's a trusted traveler program that works for land/sea/air. The most basic pass is for US/Canada and is $50/5 years. I definitely agree with Allie on the decision to allow for an hour when traveling to the Toronto area. All it takes is one accident or construction to set you behind an hour or more.

    Getting into Canada is usually quite easy. It is getting back into the USA where we almost always have problems. We even have Nexus cards but it seems to make little difference. Of well we will see what happens going into Mexico next week.

  • @kaili5823
    @kaili5823 5 років тому

    Totally agree with Allie and Trent. My friend stutters and all of sudden can't understand the questions the border officers ask her. Every SINGLE TIME I cross the order with her, we got pull over. This never happened to me simply bc I was confident and act naturally but she would be like oh what did you say, uhh, ummm I think few hours...RED FLAG!

    I'm like all your other van life friends, I can't drive across the border without the intense scrutiny! "Pull the car over and park it there and come inside" I swear, I am on some watch list somewhere. Happens EVERY TIME!

  • @debbiputman3482
    @debbiputman3482 5 років тому

    Allie, you’re correct! apple/Google maps doesn’t take traffic/construction slow downs, potty stops, etc. into consideration!

    • @marshallsokoloff
      @marshallsokoloff 5 років тому

      Google Maps actually does take this into account if you put in your departure time. Google gets it's traffic info from Waze, which it owns. Apple Maps are horrible in my experience, and I'm a Mac guy

  • @lisakosof
    @lisakosof 5 років тому

    In no way did I think that was intense. The Border guards sounded curious. I think he just wanted to check out your van. And the weed thing...... it looks like he's not busy he's just striking up conversation it's all new to everybody up here and a lot of people are asking other people what they think about it. Also you were coming INTO Canada. That's the best way when we try to go to the states that is intense. I've even been stopped by the American side on my way back to Canada and been searched. Where I should have only had to go through the Canadian side. Looks like you guys are having lots of fun up here . LOVE watching you 2 😀

    In Allie’s defense, I have crossed the boarder many times from the US into Canada 🇨🇦 and it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it’s great and you sail right through and other times your sitting there for hours you just never know!
    If you want a good daytrip, go to Amira ( not sure I spelled that right) Amish country, great markets and pure maple syrup!

    Law enforcement doesn't want a bullsht day any more than you do. Give respect,get respect. Make sure your van is tidy. A trashed van is a red flag. While Trent may look a little shady, just one look at Allie,tells law enforcement that this is a 100% all american,apple pie,norman rockwell couple.

    @eliza2850 5 років тому +3

    For those using "boarder" when you meant "border" the difference is that _boarder_ means someone who pays for lodging in a home, someone riding a skateboard, or someone getting aboard a boat/ship, while the word _border_ is what Trent and Allie crossed into Canada, meaning a boundary or the edge of something. This is an example of homonyms = words that sound alike but have different meanings and different spellings.

    I knew it my 3 favorite young couples!! Trent, I WAS married to a controlling, man who was ALWAYS hours early. I've been at the hostess house before she was even dressed, the state fair BEFORE the animals were awake. She offered to let you take a much needed nap but you insist on driving. You know why I married him cause I loved him. Now keep the orange shirt with your ginger features. She is early, you are controlling but LOVE that's why. Now go have fun ....Oh and border crossing are scary...even the innocent feel guilty.
