EN ROUTE VERS ET l’ARRIVÉE AU LAUDERHILL10(jour 3)
Nous sommes finalement arrivés au Lauderhill10 cet pm, vers 3.00 hre.
Nous entrons via la sortie Sunrise du Turnpike.
Pour sortir, pas de lumière sur Sunrise, imaginez-vous le plaisir….
Ouf, préparez-vous, c’est un spectacle désolant, même si le nettoyage a commencé.
Demain, je serai probablement en mesure de vous fournir quelques photos.
Si vous avez des questions,

EN ROUTE VERS LA FLORIDE(2)
Ce soir, (1 novembre 2005) nous couchons dans le coin de Savanha.
Chose étonnante, il n’y a pas la circulation habituelle, J’imagine que plusieurs ont du reporter leur départ faute d’avoir le courant pour descendre.
Nous devrions entrer en Floride pas très tard, demain matin.
Demain soir, je vous donnerai des nouvelles en direct..les photos, au besoin, viendront plus tard.

EN ROUTE VERS LA FLORIDE
Nouvelles de voyageLundi, le 30 octobre 2005
Après être partis vers les 10.00 am, ce matin, nous voici à Carlisle en Pennsylvanie sur la route 81.
L’histoire de problème aux lignes USA Canada n’est, comme je le pensais, qu’une légende urbaine….
Nous avons passés les lignes aux Misle-Iles. Nous avons eu une de ces belles journées pour le voyage.. aucun regret de notre décision de partir.
Demain soir, si possible, je devrais vous donner des nouvelles de la Georgie, dépendant de la température

| What food can I bring into the U.S. (fruit, cheese, meat, etc)? | |
 | |
| Question | |
| |
| Answer | |
Meats, livestock, poultry, and their products are either prohibited or restricted from entering the United States, depending on the animal disease condition in the country of origin. Fresh meat is generally prohibited from most countries. Canned, cured, or dried meat is severely restricted from some countries. See special guidelines for animal products from Canada below, and our Q&A on meat, poultry and swine products for a more complete discussion of food items from those sources. Bakery items, candy, chocolate, and cured cheese are generally admissible. Canned goods and goods in vacuum packed jars (other than those containing meat or poultry products)are also generally admissible if being imported for personal use. Dairy items such as milk, yogurt, butter are generally admissible, although this is subject to change, depending on disease outbreaks. Eggs may be admissible, although frequent outbreaks of Exotic Newcastles Disease and avian flu make it very likely that they will be denied entry. Hard cured cheese such as parmesan or cheddar are generally admissible, soft cheeses such as brie and soft curd cheese and cheese in water(ricotta, feta, etc.) are not. Fish, if it is for your personal use, is generally admissible. Condiments such as oil, vinegar, mustard, catsup, pickles, syrup, honey, jelly, jam, etc., are generally admissible. Fruits and vegetables grown in Canada are generally admissible, if they have labels identifying them as products of Canada. Fruits and vegetables merely purchased in Canada are not necessarily admissible, ie. citrus or tropical fruits such as mangos, which clearly were not grown in Canada because it does not have a climate that supports those crops. (Potatoes from western regions of Canada are currently restricted because of a disease outbreak. While commercial imports are permitted under stringent guidelines, travelers from Canada should avoid bringing raw potatoes with them into the US). Currently NO RUMINANT PRODUCTS FROM CANADA MAY ENTER THE U.S. without a permit. This includes frozen, cooked, canned or otherwise processed beef, lamb, and veal. Hunter harvested game is admissible from Canada for the traveler's personal use if accompanied with a permit. For more information on hunter harvested game visit the USDA website. Poultry, pork, milk, butter and cured cheeses (Cheddar, etc.) and eggs are permitted entry. However, all such products must be in packages clearly marked with Canada (or the U.S.) as the country of origin. If there is any question as to the country of origin, the product will be denied entry. Pet food with meat by-products is not admissible as traveler's baggage. Pork and pork products are not admissible from Mexico. Other then the above general guidelines, it is impossible to advise you in this forum about the admissibility of specific food items because it is so susceptible to change. Disease and pest outbreaks, which impact the admissibility status of fresh and packaged food items, occur all over the world at a moments notice. Failure to declare all food products can result in civil penalties. Because CBP inspectors are stationed at ports of entry and along our land and sea borders, they are often called upon to enforce laws and requirements of other government agencies. Because of the complexities of regulations governing the importation of food, CBP officers may need to contact an expert for information about what is or is not admissible. If no expert is available, food may be detained in the interest of preventing possible food-borne diseases into the U.S. This is done to protect community health, preserve domestic plant and animals life, etc. The U.S. Department of Agriculture establishes criteria for the admissibility of plant, dairy and meat products returning with travelers and they have the final say about what may be admitted into the U.S. The USDA web site: Click on Travelers' Tips has somewhat more detailed information for travelers, and they can be contacted at 301-734-8896 for information about the admissibility of plant or plant products. | |
