I think it'd be pretty hard to tour the US with less than $1000 with $5/gal gas prices.

Still, that's a pretty great accomplishment. Did you sleep in your car or something? lol

I barely even consider quebec part of Canada. They're in their own little world.

And I think that it's kind of sad that so many Americans pretend to be Canadians while traveling. Although I guess you have to do what you have to do.

If you wanna save money and you're travelling alone then you can try staying at youth hostels. They're alot cheaper and although they're not luxurious they are still very comfortable. And you will always meet people of your age there so if u want company for the day you can fix up with someone there.

3k? us dollar is dirt cheap, i hope youre going to canada and even then canadian money is worth more than the US's (sad i know). youre going to need more than that buddy.
As of today, the US dollar is worth more than the canadian dollar............................................ ................by $0.0139 :S

Anyway, according to the nice chart at U.S. Dollar to Canadian Dollar Exchange Rate - Yahoo! Finance , we can see that the US dollar has increase substantially since November 2007, so things are going back up.

Though, quite frankly, I care more about the US to yen exchange rate since a buy a bunch of stuff from japan :S That's slowly going up though also...
