How to travel to Canada

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been kicking around plans to go up to Canada this summer to visit some friends. However, I'm having a little bit of a difficult time figuring exactly when and how I'll be doing that. So I'd like some advice!

In the first week of July, I'll be in Pennsylvania visiting family. I figure it might be good to hop from there over to Canada, instead of going straight across the US. For what it's worth, I'll be in a town outside of Toronto.

My friend's parents offered to pick me up, but even if I meet them half way, it's still kind of a long drive. Is there a boat or some way across Lake Ontario?

I also figure if I fly, that'd be easier, but also expensive. Unless there's a way of getting cheaper flights.

So any help would be great.

No boats across the Lake, as far as I know.
Probably the easiest thing for you to do is get to Hamilton (F-bass Factory is there!) And grab a Go-Train to Union Station and do what ya gotta do.

Train or drive. It really isn't that far, 5 hours or so.

Not this will help you, but I live in Michigan. Stop off at Low Down Sounds...then cross a bridge...voila! You're in Canada, eh! Shoot, Michigan practically is Canada.

I think if you are driving you don't. Wasn't that bill pushed off until 2010 or something like that?

But if you fly you definitely need a passport. And having a passport is still the safest.

Bob and Doug aside, wearing a toque in the summer will *really* make you look like a tourist.

lol Bob and Doug are awesome, It may have been before my time (I'm 25) I have a tape of them and the Strange Brew moive. Canadian Bacon is also a great Canada move

All I said was 'Canadian Beer sucks and the riots erupt.
timeless.
