I'll be going first to Niagara Falls, ON for a night. From there I am headed to Toronto for the day, then Charleston Lake Provincial Park. I'll be camping in the park for a couple of nights. Then I'll be staying in Montreal for a couple of nights. Then it's back south.

What's worth seeing in these locations?

Niagra Falls - Tons of stuff... Maid of the Mist (boat that goes right up to the falls), tour behind the falls, a million wax museums, Ripley's Believe It or Not, IMAX theatre. You can easily find things to do there.

Toronto - Are you 19? And when are you going to be here? There's the CN Tower and Eaton's Center during the day, then go to some of Toronto's crazy nightlife later on. Circa, Guvernment Complex (rated #1 club in the world ), tons of other places... I can even take you if you want.

Montreal - Never been but I've heard it's an incredible city.

Yeah, all of us that are going on the trip are 19,20,20,21 (I'm the youngest). Unfortunately we won't be staying a night in Toronto. However I may be able to convince my friends to change our plans so we do a night in Toronto. Is the night life really that good?

Yes, its incredible. What night will you be here, do you know yet? Late August/early September has some crazy nights since universities are just starting again

Hmm, we were planning to do the last night in NY's Adirondacks, maybe we can push everything ahead a night, scratch the Adirondacks and do a night in Toronto.

Toronto and Montreal have epic nightlives. Winston knows TO better than I, and Doura probs knows Montreal better, but all I can say about the latter is stay near Ste-Catherine, and close the McGill campus. That's where the fun's at. Oh, and La Ronde is a pretty good amusement park too.

I like pie.

Niagara Falls is sweet. Hit up the Maid of the Mist, Clifton Hill, and the casinos if you're 19.

They do a pretty nice fireworks show at about 10:00 every Friday and Sunday. I can hear it from my house.

Oh and they also illuminate the falls every night.

Too bad we will be there Saturday. Gonna miss the fireworks.
All that other crap sounds fun. Lets hope I don't lose all of my money in the casino on the first night.

Oh btw, when a Canadian club says formal wear only, does this mean I have to wear all denim?
