<div id="ygrps-yiv-2024286371">You&#39;re right on many counts, Peter.  And, of course, we all appreciate <br/>
your hard work organizing.<br/>
GCEBE, GEEBE, GBBE and the upcoming 2005 version -- Thanks!  Without <br/>
your hard work,<br/>
many of us would have never met, much less hoisted the odd pint in <br/>
Belgium, Austria, Denmark,<br/>
Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, etc etc etc.   Maybe &quot;B&quot; is for beer, <br/>
not border.<br/>
<br/>
You are right about the current US-CA climate.  I think that  a van <br/>
load of multi-national tourists<br/>
would be something that would be hard to explain to some border guards. <br/>
For this trip, we would<br/>
definitely need official paperwork from the US and Canadian governments.<br/>
<br/>
Today was a sunny day in Vancouver -- so I headed to Centennial beach <br/>
-- on the eastern<br/>
side of Boundary Bay -- and accidently crossed into US territory (Point <br/>
Roberts) by a foot or two.<br/>
Ooops!  The lady friend that was with me didn&#39;t want to do a jig around <br/>
the nautical marker...  but I<br/>
did it anyway.<br/>
<br/>
That&#39;s this weekend&#39;s border story...<br/>

&gt; No, I&#39;m not shaking my head...:-) I&#39;m just having fun...and<br/>
&gt; would LOVE to see YOU guys organizing it !!!<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; WHY NOT?!!! Remember dear GCEBE, GEEBE and GBBE mates, we HAVE<br/>
&gt; been talking about this new option - but the problem right now<br/>
&gt; is TIME...when to carry it out??...AND:<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; imo, the political climate at the US-CA border isn&#39;t the most<br/>
&gt; healthy one at the moment, right now we could anticipate pro-<br/>
&gt; blems with border officers and harrassment...<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; ...so let&#39;s just postpone the idea for let&#39;s say 2-3 years...!<br/>
&gt; But one thing&#39;s for sure: I&#39;m IN!<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; have a nice Sunday - springtime regards (YES, sunshine and 6-7<br/>
&gt; degrees C..!!) from good old Europe, where everybody is shaken because<br/>
&gt; &#39;of our own sept.11 - this time March 11 in Madrid...:-(( !!<br/>
