Hi,<BR><BR>Any tips on a good 2-day (1-2 nights) trip originating from Toronto?<BR>We (2 adults in 30s) are in the area in early July and would like to tour some nice places by car.Nature,cultural stuff and good food all are appreciated...<BR><BR>Have visited the Niagara area, so that may not be the big interest point this time around...anything fun to see up north, north-east/west? <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>LL<BR>

Toronto to Prince Edward County (sort of an island in Lake Ontario opposite Belleville) and then on to Kingston for dinner and the night.<BR><BR>Next day to Fort Henrry on theoutskirts of Kingston, then to Gananoque, take a Thousand Islands Boat tour, and return to Toronto.<BR><BR>Or go to Ottawa. <BR><BR>If I knew any stores where you could buy my book, I'd tell you to get it and plan trips around it.<BR><BR>Anyway, without buying the book: Toronto to Stratford, St. Marys and on to Goderich, and back.<BR><BR>Toronto to Paris and London and back, including (honest, it's a great place even without kids) African Lion Safari.<BR><BR>Toronto to Picton to Merrickville to Smiths Falls to Perth to Toronto.<BR><BR>BAK<BR><BR>

I vote for Prince Edward County. That part of Ontario is lovely. Much nicer than 'cottage country' in my books.

Prince Edward County -- Quinte's Isle is a lovely driving area -- leave the 401 at Trenton and stay on Hwy 33. Wellington, Bloomington both have lovely B & B's for overnight, antique shops , interesting galleries etc. You could continue along #33 and take the Glenora ferry at Picton all the way through Kingston.<BR><BR>I highly recommend the Gananoque Inn for overnight , for dinner and a play at the 1000 Islands Playhouse, just down the street. I'd also take the Gananoque Boat Lines for the 1000 Islands tour -- a little more comprehensive and the dock is just across the bridge from the inn. Have your Birth Certificate and a little American cash and get off at Boldt Castle -- wonderful to see what they've done with the renovations. If you want some websites to explore, let me know. We just did a return to the area a couple of weeks ago, so I still have sites bookmarked.

Here's a good website for interesting side trips:<BR><BR>http://www.outsidetoronto.com
