^^How the hell does school start on monday?? profs and admins get labour day off??
Lyss: Yeah the train sucks BALLS, not to mention to go up to toronto you have to go clear up to albany, THEN go west towards b-lo (it doesnt cut up sideways).
Just from MY house upstate it take 7 hours or so.
and THEN get the WHOLE train checked at customs, where they question eveyrone on the entire train, and they check random bags.
example: the bus HOME from bal took 6-7 hours, and the train UP took 12 hours. and montreal is way closer than t.o., so expect a train ride to be 15 plus hours. :whip: :whip: |

don't i repeat DON'T take the train unless you like being stuck at the border. going to montreal was a bitch and i'm so happy i flew on the way back. at first i thought it was because the train was full of people with a vast assortment of passports but overall i think it's because the train is a pain in the ass.
fly!!! |

ehhe so i guess everyone's gonna be flying to both LOL and Bal en Blanc this time around. Def a LOT quicker. About 2 hrs i presume???
the border just sucks in general, for some reason every time I used to cross into Canada from Buffalo we would end up with the guards who would give us a really hard time (that was back at college and i was not even IN the scene yet!). assh*les. maybe once or twice there would be the really cool ones that were really friendly. |

lol I could have ran faster to montreal :stongue: :stongue:
lyss: the flight to toronto is an hour and 15 minutes, and montreal is like an hour. Buses to montreal are not bad at all, only a little slower than driving.
Edit: I have crossed the border literally hundereds of times to go to toronto, and have maybe 5 times had an easy time. Montreal border has been great. total opposite experiences. |

be careful with flight times too because after bal en blanc my flight out of montreal was at like 2:30 keep in mind the event ended at noon. i felt nuts because i raced from preach's set to the hotel to the airport to a 2.5hr class with 7 people...it was awful. |

btw: DO NOT take trains when travelling across borders!!!!!PLEASE PLEASE take this advice!!!!!!!!! :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: Worst/longest experience EVER, ask wai!!!! |
This will be my first time flying to TO. The past two years, I flew to Rochester the night before and partied it up at my old school...then drive the following day. I DO NOT plan on taking the train to Canada...especially from DC!!! That would take too long. ..even a train ride from Rochester to NYC(6 hours) or even from DC to NYC (3 1/2 hrs)is long enough. |

haha even *I* can say that this is completely untrue. As much as I enjoy myself, I think you need to get out more ;) Go to Bal en Blanc and THEN tell me what party of the year is!! :crazy: :crazy:
Lyss: like I said in the beginning, I took a 6pm flight and it was PERFECT if you have friends around.....I got to after party for a while (not feel like I was leaving RIGHT after the party is a BIG plus), plsu I got to crash for a minute and not feel ridiulous and crackheadish at the airport.
For thos flying, keep in mind that the airport is far from downtown, and it costs me about a $45 cab ride (similiar to flying to jfk). I dont have any idea to be honest, if there is a bus because before I moved to nyc I just took the ferry from home and never bothered with flying. |

word. haha :stongue: . you guys should've just let me drive more. then you could've all gotten rest.
okay so none of us would probably be here right now if you had let me drive more, but it's the thought that counts right? |
