Hey Hodge- thanks a bunch! The aquarium you linked to is the one I meant- the Canadian side one. Whoops! Thanks for the correction. Sorry you can’t make it- another time, then, I hope? And fireworks every night at 10pm? GROOVY! I’m so there! I missed fireworks this year on the 4th, so that rocks. Thanks for that tidbit! Zette ---

You can put me on the possible list, dependent as always on last minute financing and train schedules. ---

Sounds good, Lucy- we’ll check up on you as we get closer, or if you get a positive yes or no, post it here. Hope you can make it! ---

You can put me on the “possible” list as well. I’ll have to check out my schedule. I sure hope to make it. ---

Add me to the “Possible List” as well, please. I had posted this before, but I think the SDMB server ate my post. Global Citizen ---

Okay, I’ve decided I can swing this trip. I’m going to make reservations at the Diplomat, since that’s the hotel Zette mentioned (I think that’s what you said) and I guess I’ll head down for noon-ish Saturday unless anyone else is planning to arrive Friday night. ---

Looks like I’m not going to be able to make it. I’m going to Six Flags the weekend before, and that’s gonna take up my whole travel budget for a couple weeks. I’ve been to the casinos, and not being a gambling type, I found them pretty boring. Hope you enjoy your stay in my (kinda) neck of the woods! ---

That’s because you’ve never been a casino with Dopers. Never a dull moment. ---

Please remember: If anyone is travelling from the US to Canada, have your ID and Proof of Citizenship ready at the border crossing. For more info, see: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=134331](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=134331) Proof of citizenship is an original birth certificate or certified copy (with raised seal) or passport. You need this PLUS photo ID. You probably won’t get asked for it, but if you’re travelling to get there, have it ready just in case. I’d hate to see anyone get denied entry. You can get a re-issuance of your birth certificate- I’ll have more info on this on Monday, when I contact my city records department. One website I saw also said that if your name is different then what’s on your certificate, you should be prepared to show proof if marriage/divorce. Looking forward to seeing everyone! ---

Just a bump now that the boards are up- the list of definates I got is: Jack Batty, Zette, Jadis, Kwyjimbo, Trinity, Lucy Shoe, and Delph (for Saturday night) I think everyone on that list has each other on our LJ friends lists, so we can exchange any vital info there (like phone numbers and such) if needed. Woo! Can’t wait to see everyone! Zette ---

One last bump- Jadis and I are leaving in the morning (about 9:30 from here, which should get us there at about 1pm), meeting up with everyone at 2pm at the casino and having much fun and merriment from there. See you all there! ---
