Honestly, I'd drive from Florida to New York or New York to Toronto

From New York City, its 10 hours to Toronto. From Toronto to florida, u can make it there in 2-3 days if u drive 12-14 hours a day.

La-florida is a long fuckin drive man, its like a 4 hour plan ride, so itd take u a week, would be fun mind u.

If u come to Tdot (Toronto), let me know and we'll go get fucked up at the local hot spots man...show ya a good time Smile I like entertaining tourists, fun as shit cuz the big clubs in toronto are regular to me ya know? Better when you go with someone who hasnt been...and the strip bars...heh, i'll take u to my regulars, tons of "deals" Wink Unless, theyve been shut down still...havent been to the titty bars much as of late Sad

EDIT: I'd say lets invite max but then he'd have to arrest us...or maybe just me? Wink

For a hotel room? Naw bwoy, if u wanna stay somewhere nice, not overtop or anything, but nice, not just a bed and a tv type deal, ur lookin at $250-300 a nite minimum...if u don't stay in the actual city and stay somewhere in Peel Region (u'll most likely drive through it, its 2 big cities and a few small ones combined into one region - and its right beside toronto (mega city wise) from say jane & finch to brampton in 20 mins
There are a few nice hotels in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon has some nice country style b&b's - good prices to. Itd be better to do that cuz then u could drive to York Dale sub station, park ur car, and take the subway to the core, do whatever in toronto through the subway, street cars, bus, taxi's etc then go back to york dale and grab ur car
U'll save gas and driving in toronto can be SO FUCKIN ANNOYING! Smile And in certain spots, the streets are all fucked up.

You can't have him staying in suburban wasteland ... he'll hate it!

Downtown is where it's at.

It's like going to NYC and staying in the Bronx Very Happy

Naw man, even somewhere down on lakeshore in sauga. Takes like 30 mins AT MOST to get to jamin area...why pay high prices in the core, when u can drive a lil farther and get a good deal?
And I wouldnt stay in downtown NYC either, prolly expensive as some highclass hooker lol

If you follow that yahoo travel link you'll find that hotels in downtown don't cost that much.

You can stay in a 3 star easily for 100-150 CND per night.

Why spend all the money on travelling and then get stuck in a shitty suburb, when you can stay downtown and be within walking distance to everything?
