Hey, if there's going to be a Canadian detour I'd love to play! I'm sure I'm
the furthest east (Newfoundland), so I've no problem with being an entry or
exit point. I'm all by my lonesome at the moment, but I believe there's a
certain train fella swinging into town in the near future. James is quite
right about the tariff, it can add up pretty quickly; and as well, regional
Xpresspost is cheaper than national, so a linear path sounds best. Any other
Canadians signing up?

Hi, would like to participate in the northern detour of the box, As for entry and exit point, regular small package mail would cost lot less then Xpresspost, would add a few day of travelling time I don't think that it really matter.
