Thanks for all the excellent tips so far, it's starting to come
together. I will take on board your comments and have another look at
my route tonight when I get home. I'm trying to make it a circular
trip so I see a bit more of the open road. Initially I had Toronto-
Niagara-Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto but it was far
too linear. Adding in Algonquin and Belleville gives me a bit more
variety, not too sure about Kingston, think I might drop that in
favour of somewhere else. We plan to stop of during the journeys and
see a few other places en route anyway. Thanks again for the advice
and keep the places to stay and places to visit coming.

Since you were talking about emigrating to the Toronto area you might
want to reconsider the Montreal visit. Don't get me wrong. It is a nice
city, and as I mentioned before, a very affordable city for tourists.
Unless you speak French your career options are limited, so the time it
would take to go there will detract from the time spent in southern .
Going up through Muskoka and Algonquin will give you the opportunity to
see what it has to offer, but only as vacation material. Employment
opportunities up there are limited.
