Great pics! Looks like such a fun trip, I'd love to go to the eastern states. Totally agree with you on speed limits and divided highways, and some of the other social differences. The ticks sound awful, I've never encountered ticks...

And congrats on a great time at the shows!

How long were you gone for?

Wow, that must of been a fun trip! Though, gotta say I'm super happy we don't have to deal with ticks very much here, I don't think I could handle that!

I LOVE all the pics! They turned out amazing. :)

Here in Ottawa, 90% of the gas stations are pre-pay. It's much less common to find one that isn't. I've noticed that most in smaller towns or along the highways are still pay-inside.

Your trip looks like it was so full of awesome! I love all the pics!

(And a side note, we do have pre-pay gas in Peterborough, Matt uses it all the time no matter where he goes. I hate it and it hates my card so I refuse to use it and I still go inside.)

Huh strange, the ones around Toronto (and outside) are all pay inside or no pre pay other than late at night.

Thanks everyone!!

Xandra we were gone almost a full month. We left on the 28th of June and got back Monday early morning.

ITs too bad we didn't meet more chazzers. We loved the trip so much we wanted to turn around and do it again :) So you might get another chance.

Your trip looks like it was so full of awesome! I love all the pics!

No I mean where you HAVE to pre pay. So you go in and give them a 20 and they authorize the pump for 20 dollars. I found it highly inconvenient. I had no idea how much it would take to fill my car. So I would give them more than it would take and then have to go back in for my change.

I like paying with my debit card at the pump.

Oh THAT! I don't think I've even heard of that before and it would totally weird me out if I encountered it in person! Thanks for the clarification :)

:rofl1: I had never even heard of it... went to fill up Jessie's car when I was down there, and after trying 3 different pumps decided to go inside and be like WTF. Then I was like "uhhhh, I have no idea how much it costs to fill up her car!"

GREAT, great pics! And congrats on the hard-fought wins in Ohio (they should have came with antibiotics). We really enjoyed your visit.

AH yeah, okay, I saw those in VA, forgot they had stations like that! Yeah, that'd be really annoying. I love my pay-at-pump.
