Where to cross over for Rochester?

[BitsnBearsMom]

Need to find some good driving directions to Rochester Airport and where we should cross for the easiest trip - can anyone tell me the best site to go to and print off directions?? we are leaving from Guelph. Need some even better ones home from there as I might have to drive home on my own without dh as he just informed me he might have to fly from Tampa to North Carolina for a buisness meeting instead of coming home Wondering about tolls along the way also!

The best airport site for Rochester is...
www.monroecounty.gov/airport-index.php

Border crossing if leaving from Guelph...
Lewiston Bridge

Directions to Lewiston Bridge...
QEW Niagara to 405 to bridge

Directions from Lewiston bridge (follow opposite to return)
190 South to 290 East to 90 East to 390 North (the airport website has directions from the 90 East up to the airport)

Tolls...
You'll pay a toll when leaving Grand Island on the 190 South and you'll pay a toll when exiting the 90 East

FYI...There are hotels near the airport that offer Stay/Park/Fly packages just incase you are more comfortable driving over the day before, staying over night and flying out the next day.

thanks!
We are staying in the hotel attached to the airport the night before - flight leaves at 8am - my concern will be coming home as I will be on my own with the boys - flight lands at 9:30pm - if I didn't have to work the next day I would stay in the hotel and drive home in the morning! I do not like driving at night when I don't know where I'm going!

Dianna,

Just wanted to add that the Grand Island bridge is 75 cents and the tolls between Buffalo and Rochester (the Thruway/I-90 portion of the trip) will run you about $2 to $2.50 - there is always a cash lane off Thruway exits, so they can give you change if you need it.

Thank you thank you - Diser's to the rescue again!!

I just managed to find someone to sub for me on the Wed so I don't have to drive home in the dark!! Now I can be excited about going again!! Will be even better if dh finds out he doesn't have to go - he said it's possible he might not have to - need to hold onto the hope!!
