Back in 1986 when I was heli skiing in the Cariboos and the Monashees (aka the Canadian Rockies) a Canadian Dollar was worth about 75 cent in US Dollars. Then currency conversion mattered, especially when I was spending $3000 Canadian Dollars.
Today the US and Canadian Dollars are par unless you think .003 is materially significant on $20.00.

I will pay directly from PayPal. Hey Bill the address is Registrar@NAFO.FJRRally.com
I just did the same thing. Also, FYI, be sure to mark the payment as "Personal" so there are no fees deducted by Paypal.

Holy smokes! And I thought I might be the only one.... Actually you can open the links .. All you have to do is right click and then click on "open link" and it will open. But write down the email address otherwise you can't get back to see it...
Thank for the address guys an girls!

I made hotel res w/o the code as well. I just told her I was with the FJR rally. Pray for blue skies and average temps.
The lady who took my reservation said they had 40 rooms. Right now there are 46 folks registered. Don't delay get your room today.
My route up from Seattle looks something like this. Anybody want to join me? Leaving early on Thursday morning, arriving Thursday night. The long days will make this a righteous ride!

Thx for the heads-up. I just reserved my room with a king bed -- didn't have or need the code.
Gonna leave California on the Saturday morning before the rally with nights in Caldwell, ID and Missoula, MT before hitting BC on Monday (probably in Radium Hot Springs Monday night) to do some pre-rally riding in the ever beautiful western provinces of Canuckistan.

Registered and booked at the hotel.
Rooms are going fast! When I called to reserve a room, the clerk's first words were "Is this for the rally?".
And, according to Paypal, $20 CDN is now worth US$20.59.
See you all again in June!

All booked, think I'll leave Wednesday ride 9 to Sumas and then head for Valemount via Whistler and Lillooet. Thursday I'll ride down the Parkway to Castlegar not sure which way after Lake Louise. Easy days, looking forward to seeing everyone.
Remember half the fun is getting there, and the other half is getting back!
