1000 Islands is pretty cool. Take the money you would have spent on airfair and rent a boat. I spent an entire day up there just exploring islands with my boat and know I could spend several more. Just be very careful to stay in the marked channels, because you can go from 200 feet of water to a rock bar in a matter of feet. ---

Thats awesome, because I was REALLY thinking about Tortonto… driving up, staying at the SoHo Metropolitan, but I still don’t know how much or WHAT there is to do in the city. Ive never spent much time there at all. Budget? uhh, not much of one, but nothing retarded. Thanks again, I always knew you guys would help, haha. ---

Boston- brewery, freedom trail, good food or Washington,DC or Virginia for horseback riding or white water rafting. They offer some sweet deals on cabins and stuff too. ---

OH!!! DC! I totally forgot about it… I might just do that, I even have a buddy at Walter Reed… he got sent home when I got my purple heart. THANKS! DC or Toronto or are there other options that haven’t really been mentioned yet? I’m sure most of you guys have more experience than I do on this. I like the Boston, Virginia, and a few other ideas too… Also, I’m not too interested in like a Florida/california/carribean trip right now, I plan on a cruise next year this time when I come home. ---
