I am planning a similar flight, and from what I understand so far
returning back into the US is the stickiest part. You have to call the
customs agent ahead of time and arrive within 15 minutes of your ETA, and
not even one minute too early. The penalty for arriving without notice is
severe. It is best to make a stop at an airport near the border, call
customs again and depart for a more precise arrival.


Oh, I already have the ideal solution to this problem. I have planned
my trip so I will be returning from Canada directly to the NWEAA Fly-in
at Arlington. According to the nweaa.org web site, Customs services will
be provided on site, and the advance notification requirement is WAIVED
during the fly-in. Neat, huh?
