Well Tim, Welcome to the Great White North! Have you gotten used to
+GST+PST yet? And how 'bout that Sponsoship Scandal? The scary thing is
that the Priceline people are most likely clueless that they are being
unfriendly to a lot of potential customers. ...and William Shatner is
Canadian! (well he used to be anyway). Mapquest is a bit annoying like
that too. They have the Canadian maps, it's just a little difficult to
coax it into looking at addresses North of the border.

Interesting idea; I had no problems previously with priceline because I
was living in california but now I'm up north... I've found too many
sites where they insist on having the address filled in via menus that
only include US states or a few countries or whatever. I suppose if
you can squeeze a full address in the text fields then you might get
away with choosing just any old state in the menus.
Fortunately on this occasion my wife has reminded me that I do still
have a US cc I can use, so panic over. It's good to have an effective
external memory!
