i want to spend about a week in new york and then drive to canada to see family (that only needs to be for 2/3 days!) and then prob fly back from New York again. I have two weeks altogether? Does this sound like a good plan??
If you mean driving from New York City, probably not--you'd spend most of your time driving. It depends upon where your trip originates, and your destination in Canada. More information, please . . .
That depends:
1) Do you have access to a car? If so, you may drive to Canada.
2) Do you want to drive to Canada?
If you answered "yes" to the above questions, you have my permission. Don't forget the road sodas.
Depends on where in Canada yer goin'. It's a pretty dang big country. Driving to Montreal would be a significantly easier proposition than driving to Toronto, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Winterpeg, Edmonton, Victoria ...
Also waiting to hear which part of Canada.
I once drove (with a friend) from Upstate NY to Ontario, then west via the Trans-Canada Hwy. We had a blast. Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat...
I recommend it!
More than a couple days, though, eh?
Come to think of it, yeah. We drove a VW bug with 100,000 miles on it. Stopped by Mounties twice in the same afternoon in Saskatchewan.
But we made it!
NYC to Toronto isn't too bad, about 8-12 hours. Vancouver would be a bit of a trek. I guess we're all waiting to hear where you are headed in Canada.
As often as mapquest and CAA tell me 8 hours, it never seems to work out that way. It's either the border (coming back) or the road work (both ways). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Stumble It!
