Roadtrip ideas?

Long weekend is coming up and I was thinking about taking a sponteneous roadtrip with my guy..

Anyone have ideas for a fun getaway with cool sights that won't break the bank? I'm thinking Ontario/Quebec region.

Any suggestions would be super appreciated

Toronto -> Tobermory -> Manitoulin Island -> Sault Ste Marie -> train to Agawa Canyon!

manitoulin(sp?) island is really nice this time of year(thats if you like outdoors stuff). they have really good fishing and camping on the island. you have to take the che-che-mon (a ferry) from espanola which takes you on lake huron. you can stop and see the big nickel mine and science north in sudbury on the way. its only 6 hours so its not that far, and dont think it would be that expensive.

i have never been. i remember all of this from a grade 6 project, but i know people that have gone and said they had a blast.

bastard........ and tobermory is on manitoulin island.

Ah, just a few days.

For an all-out roadtrip, Trans-Canada Highway all the way to Tofino in BC, then cross the border and drive down US 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) all the way down to Costa Mesa, California. Then all the way back.

That'd be awesome.

The Chi-Cheemaun Ferry connects Tobermory (Bruce Peninsula, mainland) to Manitoulin Island and yes - it is a very nice trip.

It's hard to put "road trip" and "three day weekend" in the same sentence...so many places to go...

We are going to do a 9 day trip in September...

Washington DC

Altantic City

NYC

Can't wait!

Wow that sounds like an amazing roadtrip! I would totally do that!!!

a co-worker went to check out the whales in the st-lawrence river east of quebec. Its about a 10h trip from Toronto.

You take the boat for about 3 hours and it sails close to the huge mammals, could be different.

It's all about Timmins baby!

On your way you'll pass the highway bookstore, the earlton zoo, a couple of moose and about six Husky gas stations.

Im having a blast in my home town, lol

I did this once when I was younger. From what I remember, it was fun.

the cute husky!

thanks for all the suggestions so far.. I've been wanting to go to Tobermory for a while so that may be the way to go. It would probably be best to combine it with some camping.. that is if I can still find available spaces on campgrounds there!

The whale watching on St Lawrence sounds awesome too! Maybe combine that with a stopover in Quebec City.. could be nice

I dunno where you're based (TO or elsewhere) but Graham & I like to go to St. Jacobs and hit up the farmer's market. We've stayed at a bed & breakfast in Elora (1/2 hr away), and gone inner tubing down the Elora Gorge (you can camp there too). Fergus is its sister town and is also very quaint.

St. Jacobs is awesome. I have been many times (4+) and will be going back before the fall.

The farmer's market has so much good stuff and there is also an outlet mall across the street with Levi's, Corning, Kodiak, Liz Claiborne, Rockport, Reebok, etc.

Great weekend trip!

I loved Quebec city

Husky is a road-trip staple!

If you're into a unique road trip - pick a destination on the Husky map and drive stopping at every Husky and every tourist stop along the way. I have done this myself and it can be an interesting way to check out the lesser known tourist areas in Canada.

haha don't get me started on those.. my original idea was to go outlet shopping in the States but that didn't go over too well with him

although that's a breathtaking sight... maybe one day

Tobermory Is not on Manitoulin Island
It's just North of Bruce Peninsula National Park. U take the chicheemaun ferry from Tobermory to South Baymouth to get onto Manitoulin Island!
