A two hour line-up at the border cost me only 15 minutes, and that's only because someone was in the Nexus lane without the proper card. But if you buy booze at Costco, it is the wrong size to take back to Canada. Best to stay with the duty-free shops at the Pacific Crossing or make your purchases in Oregon.

Hi Herbie. The Nexus lane is the way to go: no muss, no fuss, and they never want to get huffy about silly things.

Not lately. I did go to Laredo a couple of years ago. It was hard to find anyone that spoke English, even at a gas station or at McDonald's, so I'd say that was like being over the border.
