The last time we went to states was Seattle in Jan 2024. Haven't been since. We've thrown around the idea of doing an Alaska cruise but I just couldn't get myself to going to the states.
There are lots of places that are worthwhile to see in the south. Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend come to mind. Yellowstone is also good. LA/SF/San Diego are all good. Just not right now and probably not for a few years more.

i used to hike baker at least once or twice a year, but that hardly puts any money into the US economy lol. a day pass is like $5, and we have one dinner there and leave.
but for the past 3 years we always went there once in the summer for some tech conferences.. not doing that anymore.
also the national parks now charge canadians an extra $100 per head to enter. so much for going to yosemite... its not that i cant afford it but i dont want to pay into that bullshit.

Indian - 10 rupees
Other - 500 rupees

Since Trump's return, I've been to NYC, Hawaii twice, San Fran... nothing's changed in the border crossing. No extra questions, no phone searches, etc... I just went to Pt. Roberts on Saturday to pick up my shipment from Junior's Cheesecake and the guard didn't even talk to me, just nodded at me and off I went.

Charging foreigners more is very common in developing countries due to the earnings differential between westerners and locals.
Charging foreigners more in the US is just plain asshattery given they have the highest disposable income in the world.
National park yearly pass was $80 when I went in 2017, now it's going to be $250 and look like this: :max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2)/National-Park-Pass-120225-32fb8999acf243adb7d1b4a754c13ba2.jpg)
Fuuuuuuck that...

Funny enough, in BC we're required to have our middle name on our IDs, so it's on that, but not my passport.
I find it fascinating our rules are more stringent in province than that of my actual international/federal ID in that of my passport.
I was told that's a requirement in BC because of our history of drivers from foreign countries passing around their licenses, too many Frank Wangs and Xing Jings to differentiate.
Who knows

Trump's official portrait looks like it's from some cheesy 90's action flick poster where he's in the background as a supporting character. Quote:

Who knows | Dude hate to break it to you but the ones passing around their driver's licence drove taxis and had names like "Hassan" on them lol.
