When Tony and I were thinking about places to move we considered the travel time if we ever wanted to come home. Since flying can get quite expensive, it would limit how often we visited. We wanted to live somewhere we could drive home in less than a day need be. Driving from Montreal to Toronto (or in our case Oakville which is west of Toronto) can be done in under six hours. The drive is very easy- it’s all major highway driving. The 20 highway in Quebec turns into the 401 once you enter Ontario which goes straight through Toronto.
I think the biggest challenge is the heavy traffic we encounter when traveling through Toronto. It’s a HUGE slap in the face for a welcome home. I don’t blog about when we’re home but we have managed to come home for major holidays to see friends and family and the occasional enemy. Now as of almost six months ago, when we go home I get to visit this cutie. Isn’t he adorable??? I”m going to kidnap him once and bring him to Montreal for a weekend. Shhhhhh!
