Re: Change of plans. Forget Washington, how about the EastCoast
I drive to PEI and back every summer - one day there, one day back, from Kingston it's 13 hours each way - add 2 hours from Toronto area -- we stop for lunch in Quebec City, and supper in Fredericton. We usually arrive on PEI at whichever town we're staying at around 10pm. If you actually want to explore PEI, Nova Scotia, and NB, you could easily drive from Toronto to St. John NB in one day, spend a night there (plenty of nice hotels - we stay at the Delta there and the prices are reasonable for a Delta).
Spend a day exploring St John and what it has to offer, and then head over the Confederation Bridge to PEI, stay at a motel in the Charlottetown area - spend 2 days there - one seeing stuff in Charlottetown, one checking out Cavendish and the beach areas, then take the ferry off PEI to Nova Scotia, and spend 2 nights there - explore Cape Breton staying in Sydney one night, then the Halifax area staying there the next night. Head back, spend your last night in Montreal.
So to recap - a fun filled itinerary:
Day 1: Toronto to St John NB - $150 in gas
Night 1: St John - $125
Day 2: St John, then to Charlottetown.
Night 2: Charlottetown - $90
Day 3: Explore Charlottetown.
Night 3: Charlottetown - $90
Day 4: Explore Cavendish, red sand beaches, etc. Afternoon Ferry to Nova Scotia - $50
Night 4: Sydney - $125
Day 5: Cape Breton, then on to Halifax
Night 5: Halifax - $125
Day 6: Halifax to Montreal - $120 in gas
Night 6: Montreal - $100
Day 7: Montreal to Toronto - $50 in gas.
Total price (not including food and tax): $1025 |
