waterways is a great way to beat the immigration system. i wouldnt trust it if they catch you on there they can shoot you and throw your limp and lifeless body overboard. sweettalk your way aboard a cargo ship, fishing vessel or even sneak onto a cruiseliner from the canadian region to greenland, onto iceland then into the european territories. i mean you're gonna do what you're gonna do regardless, so be careful with how you go about gettin there. best of luck.
another idea, build your own ship and sail there yourself, put them slave yuppies to some row-work and get it goin' viking!

Thanks for the info..Though I wasnt talkin about stowing away on a barge, I heard you could just kick down a few bucks and catch a ride that way. But where about in canada would I hope a cruiser?

Where're you looking to go....? There's a few threads on this, several of which say it's damn near difficult, if not impossible, to just hop a ride on a freighter/boat/ocean-going vessel - they have a lot of insurance issues to deal with and the like. :\ I'm looking to get back out to Hawai'i, but probably not for a while... You can get flight out there for $185 (which, if you're in the right area, can be raged up in a relative quickness). Of course, then comes the issue of being OUT there with very little money, which can... suck. We shall seeee. But at any rate, best of luck!!!

the pineapple express train is for real. it runs 7 days a week. you can catch out before 5pm when it's running. but if you're gonna hop it, make sure you bring extra water as it's been really hot here lately. you may be able to bribe the conductor with a basket of spam musubi or one ono plate lunch tho. :)
--as a side note: city of honolulu just became the next in the country to adopt the stupid 'no sit/lie' on sidewalk law within the city. also, shitting/pissing in public is now officially illegal - so if ya gotta do yer business, and there's no public restrooms around, just wade in the ocean and do it underwater. . . . .i'm sure the tourists (whom these laws are really made for) will appreciate dodging your floating turds!! lol
