Thank you for mentioning the fact that there will be no snow in July, you wouldn't believe how many stories we hear about Southern Americans wondering where all the snow is 5 minutes after crossing the Ambassador Bridge :P

OK, now we're South Americans ... I thought we called people that south of Central America. ??? ;) ;D

NO, NO, NO, not South Americans, I said Southern Americans ;D or Americans from Southern States as I think I remember 96SC is from South Carolina. Believe me Vinny it's true, I have a friend who's father was a Customs Officer and he told stories of folks crossing the border at Detroit and immediately looking for snow :o

Thanks for writing, I had almost given up hope for 'insider' information. The rest of the family had sort of written off Montreal/Quebec City and focused on Toronto (I have some news for them now). I had been to both cities years ago, staying in youth hostels. We did go to the old section of Quebec, it was memorable and the night we stayed in Montreal was in a bar (not much memory of that night).
I had actually gotten a sample disk from Rosetta Stone to see how it works, if I needed to learn some French. After 10 minutes I was able to pick out a picture of a boy, girl, man or woman either drinking, reading or eating. Could I say what they were doing in French? Nope.
One family member did mention Vancouver so it hasn't been eliminated yet.
Again, thanks for writing, only 17 months to plan.

You could also try Niagara Falls Ontario and Niagara on the Lake, Muskoka area is beautiful and still fairly close to Toronto. Lake Louise Alberta is very nice so Nova Scotia (Halifax and Peggy's Cove). I can't tell you much about the Prairie Provinces, sorry

Just DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES wear a Team USA hockey jersey while crossing the border

If we meet again in the Gold Medal game and Canada comes out on top this time are we free to come out of hiding with our USA jerseys while up North?

Good idea, but I do get warm receptions when I wear my Columbus Curling shirt. I wore there at the falls last Sept.
