Miles or Kilometers? We Speak Your Language
First things first, are you a metric maven or an imperial inchworm? Because the answer depends on your measurement preference.
- For the metric masters: Buckle up, because Erie sits about 310 kilometers from the Canadian border.
- For the imperial enthusiasts: That translates to roughly 193 miles.
There you have it, folks! Now, about that Canadian border crossing...
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Crossing the Border: A Canadian Crash Course
While the drive itself is a breeze (think scenic highways and maybe a Tim Hortons pitstop), there are a few things to keep in mind when entering the Great White North:
- Pack your passport: This ain't just a friendly visit to your next-door neighbor, eh? You'll need proper identification to enter Canada.
- Brush up on your "eh?": While most Canadians are happy to speak English (especially if you mangle a few French phrases), understanding a bit of Canadian slang goes a long way. "Sorry" for everything, even when it's not your fault, and remember, a double-double is a coffee with two creams and two sugars, not a confusing existential crisis.
- Be prepared for customs: Depending on what you're bringing across the border, you might need to declare it. Don't worry, a suitcase full of poutine supplies is perfectly acceptable (and highly encouraged).
Now you're all set! Erie awaits with open arms (and possibly some delicious pierogi).
