Well, after three days of argument with the bank that holds my wife’s credit card, they finally authorised it for our whole car trip. (Don’t quite get it: Canada, authorise the whole country. USA, need a list of every state you will be in.)

She had them read back the list of states to ensure they got it right. They were still arguing with her this afternoon why she needed so many states authorised (duh, car trip).

Crap, it’s a good thing we weren’t trying to drive from Maine to California.
