Kayedos · 09-29-2004, 02:01 PM

can't wait........ but umm... what was with that whole 49/club thing that was posted awhile ago? Was that legit or someone just wishing LOL Or are we all smashing into the Horeshoe again? neone neone????????

wannabeUrNo1Snag · 10-04-2004, 01:33 PM

alright..i know this is jus gonna sound like a dumb question...
i know when u drive up there..u don't need a passport..jus ur license for the border..but if u fly in..do u need one then??..them canadian law enforcement people make me kinna nervous..

sweet_singin_sista · 10-04-2004, 08:36 PM

ok, as far as I am aware n what ppl are tellin me about that 49/party thing...there is no word on it as of yet! Waiting on reply for the person who wanted to make it happen. Will let you know once I hear tho...It would suck that its back to the same ole horseshoe, tequila lounge or the BUCK (silver dolla). I think everyone should just pick one decent place in the district and make our own 49/party...aye! Any suggestions...

As for gettin across the border. Any sort of Picture ID should be fine. UR band (tribal) card would be great too. Since ndns can cross, just make sure ur not wanted or anything...I would not know. I have not flew in awhile...maybe ask our travel agent ..... (she knows who she is!).....

sweet_singin_sista · 10-04-2004, 11:03 PM

Ohh yeah, for those who have not been to Toronto before. Its a pretty big city where u can get lost. There is alot to do there. If ur a club person, there is a whole district of clubs! Its not to far from the dome so u dont have long ways to travel. CN Tower is right beside the dome too. Umm, check out www.toronto.on.ca or www.toronto.com www.clubcrawlers.com .....jus thought I'd hook that up for first timers to the city! :D

When I flew to Toronto back in 2002 (my arms sure got tired, ayyy), I only brought my drivers license and my Tribal ID, I thought it was good enough. But I almost got turned around right from the start cuz they wanted my birth certificate to show where I was born. I argued with the US ticket agents and told them that my Tribal ID should have been good enough as it meant that I was from that particular Rez that was within the US etc. Fortunately I was finally able to get into Canada!!! Getting back into the US was much easier as the Canadian custums people only needed to see my Tribal ID and no questions asked. So if you have a birth Certificate, I would suggest you bring it just to get in easier and to avoid the hassle :).

***Kwe_Zee*** · 10-05-2004, 08:30 PM

Geez I had the same thing happen to me. The guy gave me a lecture because I showed them my tribal ID but not my birth certificate. He said he didn't want to deny me any of my special rights. LOL. I been told to pull over and be searched, for whatever reasons.

But anyways, I'll be at Skydome. First time in about 4 years. :D
