Crazy Canucks!- Who is going with me in August???

[bdoyledimou]

What's the closest intersection?

Sent you a PM with map and address!

That is crazy long!!! I don't know if I could survive that long on a car with my DH!! I think we are pushing it now with 6-8 hours at a time! He's a bad driver and it stresses me out! OK- so mabie 'bad' is the wrong term, he gets distracted at times and tailgates on occasion which drives me crazy!!! I think that I might just take some gravol and pass out for the trip!!

Your DH sounds like my DH! He doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with his driving but it makes me nervous. However, what doesn't kill you...only makes you stronger right?!?!?! I will make sure to post a full report on the drive, I'm sure that is going to be the biggest part of the adventure! It's funny, most people would say that it would be a very long trip with two small children but they are the one's I'm least worried about.

For the road trip, I don't know if you've done this yet, but you should pick up some roadtrip bingo cards from Chapters for your children!

They usually have it near the stationary. They come in a pack of of large "bingo" cards and you punch out the things you would see along the way, so no messy markers and the cards are reusable! I've always wanted to buy them, but don't really have a reason to....

There's also one for airports and flights.

We'll be there Aug. 24 - Sept. 4. Love the heat and low crowds. Best time to go. Can't wait!

We are heading down in late August....again. I am a person who has a real problem dealing with extreme heat and it is not holding me back.

I will admit that last year I was very worried about going to Florida in August but, except for one day at the Animal Kingdom (humidity like you wouldn't believe), I enjoyed the entire vacation and coped really well with the temperatures (as high as 34). Don't let it slow you down.....go and have a great time....I know I will.

Regarding the crowds....it wasn't bad at all. As each day progressed the lines got longer but if you are there for park opening, most rides are practically walk-ons........for the first few hours at least.

Good to know about the heat thing! I have been worried bit then I hope that when I'm up in Toronto for July, I'll climatize!

Thanks! I have been worried about the heat and the crowds, as I have never been in August. Lots of people seem to like this month, so I am feeling quite a bit better.

Those of you who have driven from Ontario before... Where do you usually stop? Do you stop for 1 or 2 nights? We have never driven and will be doing it with 1 driver.
