I think you'd run into all sorts of complications in taking your own aircraft over there. Even Canadian home-built aircraft flying into the USA have problems.

 

But have a think about the possibility of buying a used aircraft over there, flying your trip and then ship it back here. With the exchange rate and the state of the US economy, there's some real bargains in used aircraft at present. Could do your trip and pay for itself with the higher value back here. Quite a few aircraft being brought over for profit at present. There can be lots of snags in dealing with all those authorities and shipping companies, but if you do your homework properly it could be possible....

 

You'd need a PPL, and find out how the Homeland Security system (similar to ASIC) would work for a 'foreigner'.

 

Been tempted myself.........
