Thanks for the tip, Ian. Maybe that's not such a hot idea. I guess this is why so many of us live close enough to Toronto to have easy access but far enough to not have to deal with many of the problems
I'm trying to think of routes a little closer to the central Toronto area, for a change from last time, but maybe that's just not going to happen. What about maybe a Niagara wine country tour? There are lots of wineries to stop at and have a taste, and a couple of them have excellent restaurants - maybe end our day at one for a really nice dinner. Or there are several great places in Niagara-on-the-lake. I know the family that runs one of the larger wineries, so if there's interest, I'm sure I could book us a tour.
It's hard to pick a bad route in the Niagara area, so long as you stay clear of the 403.
