Default taking a few days off

ok, . .im taking about 5 days off next week and we are in the mood for a road trip. our first choice is myrtle, but that gets kinda played out. next would be atlantic city, but that can get boring after a few days.

the more interesting choices are go to atl city for 1 night, then drive through nyc for 1 night, then onwards to toronto. but im not sure what there is to do up there, somebody told me that niagra falls is on the way, and that they have some casinos jsut over the border. also, i remember hearing that somewhere in canada is known for weed and strippers(is this toronto im thinking of?)

and the final choice would be to go to minnesota, one of my best friends lives up there right next to the mall of america(crystal loves that part of the idea)


im leaning towards the last 2 choices becuase it would be nice to go somewhere i havent been before, anyone out there have any suggestions


btw, we would be driving the S

Niagara Falls is indeed close - about 30 mins from Toronto I think.

I was at Niagara a couple of weeks ago - it was beautiful. Make sure you ride on the Maid of the Mist boat - you get all nice and wet if you take the PopTarts challenge and go without a poncho

The new casino was pretty cool. Opened last year and is high quality. The old casino is just so-so.

The best experience was dining at the top of the rotating restaurant - you can get the best Niagara pics from up there so take your camera. Try to make a reservation to the early dinner special (4-5pm) so your dinner bill ends up being like $35/person instead of $60-70 (I think reservations are required anyway). The Prime Rib was AMAZINGLY good.

There's also a tightrope walker that walks between the 30-50 story casino and the top of the rotating restaurant (looks just like the space needle). Good stuff.

Hope this entices ya

Screw Toronto and Atlantic City - just head straight to NYC

If you can't find something to do in New York, you've got serious issues.

Ive been to alot of places... and if your talking strip clubs- my favorite was in niagara falls... (this side of the atlantic) although there are some very good ones as well in montreal. The mall of america is cool and all but thats about it in minnisota
Another idea would be to keep driving north of NYC and take a tour of Cape Cod... such a beautiful area, lots to do this time of the year. (keep your girl close if you go to the end of the cape though- providence town is a little fruity)

You can always stop by the city and place a few bets along the way.
