But don't make the mistake we did of trying to cross at a tiny border
crossing.  If you're going in commercially they're likely to send you (as
they did us) to a larger crossing.

(Back when you could do Burlington-Ottawa-Montreal in a weekend we were
driving to Ottawa. Blindly following GPS directions I think it took us on
US 11 to a small crossing north of Rouses Point.  They made us turn around
and cross on I-89.)
