Well I made it
4 days and 3 nights, 2 motels and one Walmart parking lot, the first day I decided to stop in Regina, but really should have kept going cause I couldn't get to sleep until 1 in the morning anyway, so the next day I made it to Ignace Ontario, not on purpose, I didn't realize that there are still places where you can drive for hours and not come across a gas station or town for that matter, and when you do find the town, namely Ignace, every things closed.... yup all 5 gas stations apparently have early bed times. anyway, the creepy motel in town was nice enough to tell me about a gas station down the road that was still open but that there was a lot of construction on the coming roads and at least 1 moose gets hit every night on those roads, so I decided to stay, little did I know that said hotel was super creepy decorated in the 60's and never changed since. If I was gonna get raped and murdered anywhere it was there, checked my vehicle several times to make sure nothing was going on.
It took a while, 8hrs the first day, 13 hrs, 12 hrs, and then 11 hrs, and the last day was the worst, In case anyone plans to drive to Ontario, I wouldn't come the way I did, especially I would avoid at all costs highways 400, and 401. those just so happen to be very major highways for Toronto's traffic, and not so fun for a mini van pulling a u-haul trailer that's prone to fish tailing at about 100 km/hr while inhaling the several hundred Semi trucks trailers exhaust, reminded me a lot of driving through LA.
anyway lots of smog, very humid, and more trees than BC, no I'm not joking the Trees never end, I started feeling clostrophobic for the first time in my life, waiting for there to be a break in the never ending trees, after probably 1300 km they finally start to break and even then the open spaces aren't very big.
well that's it for now, picking up Amy and the kids in the morning, and then we try to pick a house to live in for the next 3 years.

Late to the party...but may I be the first to say that I'm glad you weren't raped. Cuz that would be gross.
