Is anyone planning on going to Adrian's Memorial on Jan 17th?

Yea, I gotta talk it over too.  Buffalo makes the most sense for me.  Fly up, rent a car and drive in on Friday (the weekend goes by way too fast if we get in Saturday and take off Sunday).  I'd definitely be up for splitting costs. 

Medusa was thinking of meeting up in Buffalo with Angelizer and his wife and driving in as well but I haven't heard anymore about that.

  I'd definitely be up for splitting costs. 

Definitely, with car and room. 

It would work for me too after the holidays.

Will talk to wife before I even think about looking up Expedia, Orbitz or Priceline, or thinking about logistics on meeting in Buffalo at the same time(s).

Awesome

If I can make it, it appears I will be flying directly into Toronto, as the price difference between Buffalo and TO isn't even $50, so that'll be my plan. 

I just have to wait and see the schedule and from there talk it over...

[Metal_King]

I will be talking to Stan soon.  I have not seen his handle here on the board the past two days.  I know he is crushed, like the rest of us.

As Jim Rome would say, he is probably 'in the basement.'

That's not far from me actually but, as crappy as it is to say in this circumstance, I'm a groomsman in someone's wedding on that day.  A sad irony for sure.

Oh man MAK...talk about running the gamut of human emotions on that day.

All us old farts have to check with the wives!

Of course we do. 

"Hey hun.  I'm heading out to Canada.  Take care of the kids. Thanks. Bye."

CT and i would love to come up(she's even the one who brought it up),haven't been to T.O. in over 2 years.unfortunately,our finances at the moment will probably keep it from happening.


M_K,i'm not 100% sure but i think that starting Jan.1st is when you need a passport to cross the border by land.

if that is the case, then that effectively ends my decision making process.

I hope this is valid:




US Citizens Visiting Canada by Land or Water

As of Dec 21, 2007, passport requirements have been once again delayed meaning that US citizens arriving in Canada by land or water do not need a passport until at least summer 2009.

Don't wait! Apply online for your American passport now (PDF file).

Also, read our article on How to Rush Your Passport Application

Necessary ID to Enter Canada by Land or Water before the WHTI Dates:

Until the WHTI land and water dates go into effect, American citizens crossing the border into Canada by land or water need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo.

A driver's license on its own or a Social Security Card on its own are not valid ID to cross the Canadian border.

The following pieces of identification will serve as satisfactory proof of American citizenship to enter Canada.

Please note, however, that photocopies of ID must be notarized:
US passport

OR

Birth certificate,

OR

Certificate of citizenship or naturalization,

AND

Photo ID, such as current driver's license
All U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport.

OK, so according to the US Dept of State page, it says that beginning June 1 2009, passports will be required to go between the US and Canada.

Maybe print out the page and bring it with, just in case.
