pfffft it's atleast 19 hours from Brampton to the boat into NFLD, then 6 hours on the boat then another 3-4hours to where I'm from...my parents did that straight through with a 6 year old (me) and a 2 year old (my brother)...and my brother had extreme motion sickness (like we couldn't make it across town without him puking at that point in time...). If what's at the end is something you really want (for us that was seeing our grandparents and us being able to experience the beauty and fun of a small town where my parents grew up) then the drive is worth it.

Take that 22hrs with a grain of salt. That's possible, with two drivers, and no stops longer than gas. I was looking at 20+ hours at 55mph to GA. Reality was about 6 hours longer.
I'm figuring about 3 hard days rolling to get there. (actually, I'm looking at the north ontario road and dropping south on the other side of thunder bay.)But I'm seriously looking at getting a "C" class for this one. Popups are great for milage, and they give you a vehicle when you're there, but the ability to just pull over to eat and sleep anywhere goes a long way.

I made it to Ft Wayne, IN (almost halfway) in 12 with one stop. Cam made it in about 17 with several hours stopped in Toronto. With the kidlets, add generously to both sides. It could be done in two devoted days. But with the lakes and such, take your time and enjoy it.Professur said:

Grain of salt? I'm talking a grain the size of Sodom and Gomorrah.Professur said:
I've got 1 driver (me), add-on stops for the kidlets and for me to stretch legs, plus food and toilet breaks...22 hours would be a dream...a short one if I fall asleep at the wheel.
Most likely, I'd be flying out and back if i can come.

That sounds cool. I didn't think about the smoke. I don't blame ya.HomeLAN said:
I smoke still (so far) but If I had that ride "I" wouldn't even smoke in it.
Like I say I don't know if I'll even be able to go at this point, but I'm planning on it.
I'll have plenty of space left if you wanna carry more than what you can load,
when we decided if anything need bringing, like a grill or someting....

Shit, dude, it's a wagon. Even a grill would be a tough fit, but doable. Appreciate the offer, though. I need to hear from Unc. We could probably rig a decent schedule with 3 drivers. Between the van and my shitbox, we'd have plenty o' space.
