Kris and I are going to drive around eastern Canada for 9 days. Any suggestions of attractions to see? Places to eat? Where to shop? We will be stopping in Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Oh, and Niagra Falls as well.....We are wondering about hidden gem towns and off-the-beaten path places.

Thanks.

I read French really well......can't speak it that good, though. Plus, Kris is a French professor and Masters student in French.

Where, oh where, are the resident Canucks now when you actually need them? Theresa? Cat? Lisa?

i'm back! sorry! was away for work...

curtis, i'm so happy to hear you're coming to our little corner of the world! i was born and lived in montreal for three decades... and i've lived in toronto for five years now. i may have a few suggestions...

what do you like to do? what kind of food? bars? shopping? activities?

(and need i say, you better tell me what date you're in toronto. we have a little wedding to plan, my house husband to be...)

Whoa, that is going to be awesome! Good job, Curtie!

And, no, I don't have suggestions. Just wanted to say how cool that is.

Well, since you don't want to visit me... There's always Yonge Street in Toronto.

Everything is there, seriously. It's miles f*ckin' long.

Niagara Falls? I haven't been there in ages, but erm, the falls would be a good place to start. Check out the Minolta and Skylon Towers. The Skylon has a revolving dining room.

http://www.skylon.com/
I can't remember any other places to eat, though, so just check out their tourist site. http://www.infoniagara.com/ Ooh, and you should go on the Maid of the Mist ferry (I think it's a ferry) ride, if you're not averse to that kinda thing. It's so fun. Some people don't like boating, though.

I can't think of anything out of the way, off the beaten path type places. If the Wax Museum and IMAX are still there in N.Falls, check that out. lol. I think they might've closed them, though. Oh, and buy their fudge at the Fudge Factory.

Sorry I can;t help you out much..Like I said if you were coming to the East coast of Canada I could point you to some cool places..or if you were going to the West Coast..Vancouver and northern Bc..than I could help you out again..lol..I have lived on both coasts and only usually just pass through the those middle boring provinces..lol..jk....No worries you will find lots to do and see in Montreal and Toronto though.Younge Street would be a good start ..just be careful...
If you ever decide to come East or west..I;ll have a list for you..
Enjoy your trip..
