how this ends

what we learned:
- diesels get great mileage
- kilometers are faster than miles
- japanese tourists seem to prefer leather pants
- the arctic ocean is cold
- people don't expect suits and ties in RV parks. or rural border crossings. or national parks.
- google maps lies
- black water gauges lie
- while in a foreign country, $1000 in grocery and car rental charges doesn't bother the credit card company, but one usage at a gas station and they'll shut if off
- some canadians do say 'eh'
- if you turn the sauna up to 190F, your jewelry will burn you
- when the sign says "<-- TRAIL", the trail is probably to the left
- don't play with creamer (or ketchup!) in restaurants
- stack beer cautiously
- don't forget to lock the fridge
- chuckholes suck
