At 5am this morning, my girlfriend and I departed Edison, NJ and shot up to the Canadian border by just after noon. Smooth sailing through the border and we spent a few hours at Niagara Falls just strolling through the area. Afterwards, we made the easy drive up to Toronto where we are staying the weekend. Bit of traffic on the QEW but it went alright. Reminds me of home but it is so much cleaner here. Traffic goes the speed limit mostly too. Enjoyed seeing “Speed Limit 100” as well. Should be a fun time here and my Miata is lovely for this beautiful top down weather.

Canada, fuck yeah!

Those first few sentences make it sound like you’re fleeing the country. Did the Feds catch you with a 24 year old Land Rover? Or maybe an R34?

Oh holy shizzle, you were like, at most 5 minutes away from me if you came in on I90. Remember passing a huge interchange with a a big blue water tower at it?

Awesome I have always wanted to check out Canada! I figure I have been to the US’s neighbor to the south tons of times why not go north?

Plan to explore the city via public transit and walking Saturday, drive in movie that night, a drive up to cottage country on Sunday (have found some “miata roads” to check out), and probably a bit more city exploring later that day. Then Monday is a scenic drive around Lake Ontario, maybe stopping in some places on the way home.

Saturday is pretty jam packed with exploring the city but Sunday should have more time. Trying to go on a good cruise, I have a route to some good roads suggested from some other posts on here.

Haha that is very true, didn’t think of it that way. It definitely was way closer than I thought to get to the Canadian border from home. So I would totally escape to here if I had to!

Came up 17/86 through NY and then cut across somewhere in the middle of farm land to get to 90. Wasn’t on there for a long time until buffalo so I don’t remember much. Canadia side is very different from NY!

Sounds good! There is an airshow going on this weekend so that might be fun to check ou if you are interested. Oh and go here http://www.ttc.ca/index.jsp?TTCM… since you want to use public transit, it will help you plan your trip and inform you of any service issues.

Buffalo is where I’m at. If you’re on 90 through Buffalo then you pass right by the University at Buffalo. And yes, American Niagara Falls is a total wasteland. It’s been run by the mafia for decades.

I don’t have cell service so that might be a little difficult to text you haha. But yeah I can use my Google number while I’m on wifi probably.

Yeah, we were going to try to make the air show but never made it over to the waterfront until like 4pm lol. The day pass for public transit was great though! $11 total for two people is such a steal!

Awesome to know. I'm going up to Lewiston this weekend to do some fishing. Figured I might take in the US side since I've seen the Canadian side before. Sounds like I'll skip it. lol

Sounds cool to me, but I'm completely at the mercy of others since I'm not the one driving. :(
