Now that might be an idea, though that far north, even in late June might still be a bit chilly. And also, you gots to have a reliable way of getting into town.
Boro_Bandito:
Right then, I guess I'm just going off of the Rockies for some reason, which I realize too late are nowhere effing close to Toronto.
Slick:
Canada is fucking massive, dude. Like, honkin' huge and all. Like, is your country Russia? Then Canada is larger than wherever you are. Unless maybe you are in Antarctica. In which case, can I visit?

Not even close for us New England folk.
Rachel's got either a Camry or Corolla, I forget which. The former gets about 25 MPG highway versus about 34 MPG highway for the latter. For the sake of overestimating price, we'll assume the worst case and go with the 25.
It's about 550 miles to Toronto from here and Shane, whom is going with us, is literally on the way there. That's about 22 gallons of gas each way. Gas prices are presently at lowest about $3 versus about $3.40 at their worst along our route. I'm gonna peg an average of about $3.50 a gallon by June to be safe. That puts us at a grand total of about $77 bucks each way. That's under $150 for a round trip. This'll be split at least two ways between Rachel and myself.
This is in comparison to bare minimum $537 per person to fly just from Logan Airport to Toronto.
I'm no mathematician, but if I know anything about which number is bigger than the other number, I'd say it's cheaper to drive than fly by a wide margin if you live under 1,000 miles away. The only real disadvantage is the time you'd spend: just under two hours flying, but around 8-9 driving. That's not taking into account the amount of time it takes to get through the airport outside of actual flight time. Between getting to the airport, baggage check, going through security and any potential runway/flight delays you, it's hard to calculate to an exact.
