The rainbow and peace bridge are supposed to be incredibly backed up today, due to extra security and holiday traffic. My friend literally just called me (9:21 a.m. EST) to say he just spent an hour on the rainbow bridge, so make sure to leave extra early if you're heading to Toronto.

Going into Canada isn't so bad...but coming back, that's another story starting today...expect 2 to 3 hour delays coming home after the show tonight. IT's going to be a nightmare heading in both directions, I imagine. Just give yourself PLENTY of time to get there...you don't wanna be late. And also, give time incase there are tie-ups or fender benders on the drive up...if there is even one small accident, it ties up the highways for miles!!

If you can leave work early, DO SO!!!!

Although this border time website is updated every couple of hours, it's not always entirely accurate. I was heading near Niagara, and had my friends in Toronto check out the webpage for me before I hit the Queenston/Lewiston...the webpage said a 50 minute delay...but in all reality, it was THREE HOURS AND TWO MINUTES, precisely.

But anyway, this might help you gauge things a little better. I see there are already big delays there early this morning...as of 9am.

Happy driving to all of us! Sigh...but hey, it's worth it for The Hip! Just have plenty of tunes with you!!

Here's a site to consult for the wait times you'll encounter heading back to the USA: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/general/times/menu-e.html">http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/general/times/menu-e.html</a><!-- m -->
