No offense taken.  I just wanted to avoid any grumblings if we Canadians
assure everyone of a cheap trip through Canada, and there were no savings.
I definitely think that there are parts of Canada that shouldn't be missed
in a 'round the continent' tour.

The trip across was done in a Volvo.  We went through the States to save
time in going from southern Ontario to Saskatchewan.  We acquired the van
after arriving here on Vancouver Island.
