Do we know that he was in the US this whole time? He could have jumped on a plane to Mexico or elsewhere from Seattle for all we know. If he's looking tanned he obviously didn't spend his time in the Pacific Northwest these past years.
There are 3 countries in Central America that are not signatory to the Fugitive Offenders Act (1882) or the Extradition Act (1877). They are Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
If I were going to go on the lamb, it would be to one of these countries.
You might remember Frank Hertel (who was blessed with the Victoria title of Businessman of the Year) fled to Venezuela. His lawyer, George Jones, went to visit him there. George came back with an internal parasite that almost did him in.
A lesser known Victoria businessman Dan Walker (who at one time owned the Century Inn and Coast Catering) made his way to Costa Rica when the going got tough. I have always admired Dan. He threw himself a going away party. If he is still alive, he is probably still on vacation there.
I don't know of anyone who has fled to Honduras or even visited there for that matter.
If I were going to bug out it would be to Costa Rica. I hear they have some nice beaches there.

When did the Dan Walker thing happen? I have this vague memory of my dad telling me about something like that.
(And does Mrs. Sparky know you've been giving going on the lam considerable thought?)

I am not exactly sure when Dan left town. Early eighties perhaps.
Here is a link to a post I made a number of years ago. http://vibrantvictor...approved/page-3
Fascinating guy. We had a mutual friend which was how I got to know him. We both flew airplanes at the time.

"Christine Peterson was more interested in this stranger’s journey than his gear. Backer said he was going to Seattle to stay with a “friend or friends,” but hadn’t picked a route. Perhaps he’d go over Bainbridge Island, he told the Petersons, or maybe via Whidbey Island. Either way, he wasn’t sure he’d make the whole 90-mile-plus trip that day."

Roatan is in Honduras. I've been there on a cruise. Very nice as well.

A passport is not required to leave Canada.
WTF are you talking about? What countries do not require a passport for entry? I know I'm not a world traveller but going the US or Europe I needed one.

So they are right, for that .00001 second of leaving one country and entering another, no passport required.

You need... Canadian passport, Enhanced Driver's License/Enhanced Identification Card, NEXUS, FAST/EXPRES and SENTRI enrollment cards.I do not need one to go to the US.
You do if you're not a Canadian citizen.
].
The process to get all of these is pretty much the same in regards to time spent to get. You can not get into the US with just a normal drivers licence and birth certificate. You can get enhanced... but you have to apply and interview for it.
So it might as well be a passport the time and hoops you go through yo get any of the other options.

NEXUS is great for border crossings, though. Well worth the effort.
True but as I said they are the equivalent of a passport. Just get you into a differnt line. Which I admit is sometime quicker.
