I suppose it could be the business trip playing in although that has been the case for half our trips in the stated time period.

Maybe it’s the weather prediction. It’s summer but we’re all primarily packing hoodies, jackets, and pants. It is Seattle and Vancouver and there’s not supposed to be a high any given day greater than 61°F… and rainy.

Or, most likely, it’s because we’re crossing the Canadian border. Me for the first time in like 30 years. Katie and Nathan for the first time ever. I’ve looked it up online and it seems the only thing we need as tourists who aren’t transporting anything other than ourselves and clothes and snack food is our passports.

Still… anxiety.
