I'm getting down to the last couple of days before we head south. Trying to
decide which quilt books to take, files to copy, fabric to pack etc. Last
year I left half of my thread collection behind!
I am taking 7 quilt tops of various sizes to quilt, plus 3 or 4 homemade
quilt kits, etc. I am also taking my collection of black and white prints,
so I can participate in a swap with my guild in Kingston.
Of course, I am packing some favourite food items not available in the US,
which makes up for the ones I bring back to Canada when I return in the
spring!
I'll be out of touch for a few days, until we get the computer up and
running. Don't have too much fun without me!

I know you're busy but if you can toss in a few more minutes here - I am
most curious. What food items do you take to FL and what do you bring back?

I bring flour for bread - haven't found any that works as well, even when we
lived in FL full time, I brought flour south after each trip. I also take
my favourite brand of pork and beans - you love the things you grow up with!
I take a pound package of yeast - available at the bulk food store, as well
as some oat bran and candied fruit for DH's favourite raisin fruit bread.
Canadian maple syrup - can't think of anything else.
Returning from Florida, I bring smoked sausage, Jimmy Dean sausage (I use it
in stuffing for the turkey), pepperoni for my pizzas (the type for sale here
is much wetter), Rotel tomatoes, Cajun trail mix, butter,(that I buy and
freeze when it is on sale.)
We travel with a cooler, and things stay quite cold/frozen during the trip,
especially since we don't open it.
We used to bring some apples, but since 9/11 they have expanded the list of
things that you shouldn't carry across the border.

Thanks. DH has been planning a couple of short side trips, so I'm looking
forward to the journey. We try to see something new each trip, but after so
many years travelling the same route, it is becoming more difficult!
Do plan to stop at MaryJo's Fabrics in Gastonia......
