3. What about customs?

Others have noted the reasonably straightforward Canadian customs process.
However, US customs upon return can be a real PITA. For smooth sailing, you
really need to phone ahead at least 24 hrs in advance to the customs office
at the airport where you will re-enter the US. Most are only staffed during
regular business hours M_F, and even then may require an appointment to
assure that the inspector will be there. There is NO central phone number
for setting up US customs service for light aircraft. Furthermore, it is
not easy to find the local phone numbers of the customs offices at
individual airports. There may be a listing somewhere, but I have never
found it.
