Timing is Key**:

If flying, arrive at the airport at least 1.5-2 hours before your flight for security and check-in.

Luggage Considerations**:

💡

Check your airline or bus carrier’s luggage policies to avoid extra fees. For trains, there is usually more flexibility with luggage, but don’t exceed size limits.

If driving, consider bringing snacks and entertainment for the journey.

Border Crossings**:

If you're driving or taking a bus, keep your passport handy for the U.S.-Canada border crossing. Be aware of customs regulations and potential wait times.

For flights, ensure your travel documents are in order, and familiarize yourself with any visa requirements if you're not a Canadian or U.S. citizen.
