It would be a shame to have someone not be able to attend because they didn't have adequate documents. There *are* immigration sites for both the U.S. and Canada that can provide up to date information regarding required documents. I was suggest using those sites rather than speculate about what might be required based on responses in this thread. That said, I probably should check my passport to see when it expires. In addition to the likely trip to Montpellier, there is a fairly high chance that'll be going to Tanzania on business as well. I have taken the 1000 Island Bridge (incredibly scenic for those that haven't done it) and have also taken the Wolf Island Ferries. I've probably traveled to/from Canada 6-7 times and got more scrutiny at the Wolf Island crossing than any other spot. Ride sharing is a good idea. With enough people coming from some areas renting a van might even be a viable option. -- John Fereira Cornell University Twitter: @john_fereira Google Wave: [log in to unmask]
