Fair play to you newkid, thats the same experiences ive had in the states from the past being there hence why I cant wait to go back, heading to canada this summer for a couple of weeks myself, id also love to go the places you have been as the scots irish settled there in the 1700s and tamed the natives and land, they are basically blood across the pond, , close knit bit welcoming to visitors, just like us here in northern ireland, sounds lime a holiday of a life time, good luck on the rest of your journey
