Travels With Martin

Travels With Martin is the 21st episode of Season 1 of Frasier.
== Synopsis ==
ROAD KILL -- Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) dreams of spending his vacation at a luxury spa, but ends up trekking to the wilds of Canada in a Winnebago with Martin (John Mahoney), Niles (David Hyde Pierce), Daphne (Jane Leeves) and Eddie (Moose). If that wasn't awkward enough, the group is stopped at the border when Daphne's citizenship comes into question. 
== Plot ==
Frasier's brochures for a vacation have arrived, and he plans to go alone. However, Roz shames him by telling him he is taking her mother with her, so Frasier resolves to try and improve his relationship with his father by going on vacation with him and lets him choose the destination. Martin wants to see America in a Winnebago, an American motor home, and Frasier is excited on the outside but appalled on the inside. So he tries to convince Niles to come with him because he is worried about what will happen when the two of them are alone, who refuses until Martin announces he has convinced Daphne to come, for the same reason, upon which Niles agrees immediately. Once on the road, Martin wants to go to Mount Rushmore but as they approach the turn-off, Frasier decides they should become free spirits and go where the wind takes them. Although initially appalled, Martin eventually enjoys it and they stop off at a tourist place where you can have your photo taken with a grizzly bear. As they have the photo taken, Daphne learns they are in Canada and screams - she doesn't have her Green Card yet. The rest of them resolve to try and smuggle her back across the border. As they approach the border, they are pulled over - will they make it pass the border guard with Frasier and Niles on edge and Daphne only able to say 'Sure' in an American accent......?
