travel questions[views:1416][posts:7]___________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 11:27am - succubus ""] I want to go to montreal late thursday night/early friday morning...come back late sunday night early monday morning... aaron can't come so i'm looking at other means of transport i don't want to drive alone...i started looking at the carshare ads on craigslist but that can be sketchy.. flights are around $350 train is NOT direct..i'd have to drive to someplace in new york....and then it's still expensive... the cheapest seems to be the greyhound and it's STILL expensive... I can drive to montpelier VT and park there and it would be $70 round trip but that's a 2hour 20min drive... not sure what to do... i thought there was a montreal bus similar to the crazy chinatown bus...but haven't seen any. |

That goes directly to Montreal, within a 15 minute walk of St Catherine. It's about an 18 hour trip one way, but a free ride. Coming back they check it at the border (Norten VT). No infared or car x-rays but hide well all the same cause it's an expensive ticket. ;) |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 5:18pm - justin (BR) ""] not much, but if those guys catch you (the border patrol) and ur a US citizen, it's anywhere from 500 to 5000. Keep in mind it has nothing to do with riding a train. Its that you crossed to border and didnt tell them. Normally though its anywhere from them laughing at you and telling you to leave and adding what time their shift ends, to a few days in jail and/or a fine of about a hundred bux. |
