Hey guys, planning a trip to new york in august, seems Fan expo is on in canada around the same time,

1) is it easy to go from new york to tornoto ?
2) the there good hotel space near the expo
3) is the expo con good? is it one of the larger cons (i assume smaller the san diego or new york but i imagine enough to impress an outback boy from down under)
4) anything i should know in planning a states to canada con trip?

cheers for the help guys, if any ones going i'd love to organize a beer and meet up with a few US guys!

    One thing you should note - You now need a passport or enhanced license to travel across the border.

    I live in Michigan, and used to travel to Canada with relative ease. Not so much anymore.

    Just a heads up.

    Hmm... I'm unaware of any in particular, other than tour bus situations. I know that some of the casinos used to run shuttles across the border, but with the changes in the laws, I don't know if they still do.

    And I'm completely in the dark about trains.

    With the border being about 30 minutes away, I always just drove. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    In the latest Uncle Sal episode I believe Jamie said he was going. Not sure if that means Pants is going as well. For anyone curious, there are buses from NY to Toronto. Possibly through Bolt Bus or MegaBus? Can't imagine it's a short ride though.
