Seeking trip advice
My wife and I are thinking about visiting Ontario & Quebec provinces in late May or early June. Other than having a vague notion about seeing the major cities, I don't have any specific ideas about what's good to see or do while there. I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Hello Jim,
if you come in june you have the Grand Prix of Montréal, and pca meeting in Montréal,Crescent Street was closed off for the day which enabled more that 40 members to safely park their freshly washed (mostly) cars and enjoy the beautiful sunny day. The lucky Grand Prix ticket holders where driven to the entrance of the track in minivans let us know when you come here... and begin to prictice your french Bonjour ! Raynald

You have to hit the Nation's Capital: Ottawa, Ontario. It is a beautiful city that really caters to the tourist. Plus, the snow should be gone by May!
 Most Canadian cities have their own websites. Search for "Ottawa Ontario" (or whatever city you desire) on Google.com or your favourite search engine! Enjoy your holidays!

Thanks for the advice, guys. Ottawa is definately on my list. Actually, I'm thinking of Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec. The Montreal GP sounds like a "must do". Raynald, my French is not too good, so, I'd better start studying!

Ottawa parliment buildings - climb up to the clock tower
Cross the bridge to Hull - some really cool things to see in this area We toured an area where all the politicians live - very nice and tons of culture. Toronto - make the drive to Niagara Falls! A Must! Spend a day there and be sure to go down behind the falls (tour) Dinner in the revolving CN Tower is awesome- make a reservation Downtown Toronto is very interesting too. Check out the Skydome. My wife grew up in Montreal - you'll love the culture there. Be sure to go to Old Montreal - tour the Olympics sites, they're awesome. Eat at Gibby's in Old Montreal (Lynn says a must do) Shopping in Montreal is the best too. Most of the NHL players shop at the strip on St. Catherines Street and there are some great shops there! Next year come West and see us! all the best Rob
