Gearing Up for Your Detroit Departure
First things first, you'll need a passport (unless you're some kind of super spy with border-hopping superpowers, in which case, kudos). Also, pack for both climates. Windsor weather can be as unpredictable as a toddler with a sugar rush, so be prepared for anything from shorts-and-t-shirt to needing a parka to borrow from that guy who always overpacks.
Choosing Your Detroit-Bound Chariot
Now, onto the fun part: transportation! Buckle up, because we're about to explore the options:
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
- Car: The classic choice. Bonus points if you can navigate the labyrinthine freeways of Detroit while simultaneously belting out power ballads. Just remember, toll roads are a thing, so bring your loonies (Canadian dollars) and prepare to be politely sworn at by impatient Americans.
- Bus: The economical option. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery (or, more likely, the questionable fashion choices of your fellow passengers). Pro tip: Pack some snacks, because "scenic" doesn't always translate to "abundance of food options."
- Taxi/Rideshare: The "I don't want to deal with anything" option. Perfect if you're feeling fancy or just plain lazy. Heads up: Prices can surge depending on demand, so you might end up paying more than you bargained for (especially during rush hour).
Remember: Crossing the border can add some time to your trip, so factor that in when choosing your transportation. Also, be prepared to answer the age-old customs question: "Anything to declare?" The answer, of course, is a resounding "Nope, just dreams of exotic locales and a desperate desire for decent airport food!"
