I had nothing planned this weekend, so I decided to visit my family in Toronto who are about a 6 hour drive away. Before I could go on this spur of the moment trip, I had to find a solution to two problems:

1) I have never driven to the GTA
2) Thanks to Montreal's adequate public transport infrastructure....I don't have a car laugh.gif

Honestly, those problems didn't last too long. Within the span of 3 hours I rented a car, used MapQuest to find the directions, and received a "you shouldn't do it" lecture from my parents about how dangerous driving on the 401 is.

None of my so-called friends (oh I named names on RBSCC biggrin.gif) were willing or able to join me, so I headed out early Saturday morning for the longest solo drive that I have ever done. After a few hours I ended up at the below parking lot safe and sound, waiting for my Torontonian cousin to arrive in his car:

I still have to make 'the rounds' and visit my aunt, but hopefully I can visit the CN Tower before I leave.
