We live in the mid-Atlantic region but wanted to attend a cousin's wedding in Canada (Haliburton Highlands). My husband will not fly. We drove. We loved it. In fact, on the way back, we drove all backroads. no GPS...I just printed out a bunch of maps before we left. Western Upstate New York is beautiful. It was awesome. (ok...cell phone signal was spotty a lot of the time)
(btw....I loved your Web Developer thing! I sent it to my brother, who does web developing. He says, "I'm jealous...I wish my clients were that articulate" *snort*)
