  Thanks for your suggestion. Agree on the nut business.

  Thanks for your input. Perhaps a less formal ridesharing arrangement would work (I see offers for Montreal-NYC, for example, but no one traveling in the middle of a w-e like this). If nothing else, the bus it will be.

  Long Uber ride, yes -- maybe down to 3.5 hours if the border goes smoothly. 

  The problem with flights is that they are few and far between (no direct flights Montreal>Albany), leave at the wrong time (except for United at 2.30 pm (via DC), but that's expensive at €569).
  Flying also represents at least 4-5 hours (plus wait time in Montreal) so for added cost is not worth it.
  The $56 one-way bus fare was the best option; my fault for not checking departure times before booking the (non-refundable) cheap translatlantic flight. If -- ô miracle -- a car with 2-3 passengers driving down to NYC were to materialize, that would be great. If not I'll cool my heels and take the 5.15 pm bus.
