Florida to Canada is a pretty long trip. Even meeting half way.
I'm in a border area (my day job is actually less than a mile from the Detroit/Windsor tunnel), and I've heard of consultants having items shipped to them, then taking them across the border. I'd be afraid of being caught by customs. "Excuse me, what is this knife for?"
