[edit] Plot outline

Frasier decides to use his vacation to reconnect with Martin, and asks him to name the place, hoping for a trip to Europe staying in 5-star hotels; however Martin chooses a cross-country road trip in a Winnebago. With both realising that spending a week together would be hell to endure, Frasier asks Niles and Martin talks Daphne into coming along, Niles declines but decides to join when he hears Daphne will be going. Trouble starts when they inadvertently drive over the border into Canada, before Daphne's green card has come through, forcing them to sneak her back across the border.

[edit] Quotes

[After unsuccessfully practising Daphne's American accent]

Daphne: Oh, I need a cup of tea!
Frasier: TEA! Why don't you just wave a crumpet in the air and start singing, "God save the Queen"!!

[Martin has explained about how they should give short answers to avoid suspicion]

Canadian Border Patrol: What was the the purpose of your trip to Canada, sir?
Niles: [pauses, looks at Martin, then turns back towards the guard] Fun.
