> [@nitroinsane](#): > > i am taking my girlfriend to Toronto in may when her sched calms down. yes as long as your debit card have credit ability you are fine. straight debit cards wont work. i use my debt card for traveling all the time in hotels. they take a bit more out per night, i think most charge $50 on your bill so if the room is $200 a night, they charge you $250 when you check in and if you stay 2 nights, you pay $500 when you check in and after you leave they give you back the $50 from each night if you dont use it. ---

^^ thats what they always do to me. if you want someplace quiet so you can have some quality time then i would suggest a bed and breakfast because my wife and i love doing that. pick a random place and go, its fun to go somewhere you wouldn’t normally go to. if you want action toronto is the way to go. we go there when we want a weekend of craziness in and out of the hotel room. go see a play or show or something, sometimes they are actually pretty decent, even for guys ---

This is a tough month since its Spring Break month but check out Jet Blue. I went with my friend to Flordia one weekend to see her parents and it was like 89 each way or something if you flew early saturday to late sunday. ---

Peak n peak is small, if you plan on staying a weekend. If you know how to ski/board at all try Gore Mt. Its a little closer then IceFace and they usually have great snow. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23445683?GT1=43001](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23445683?GT1=43001) Plus they have a fucking gondola. Gore ![http://www.goremountain.com/mountain/i/maplarge.jpg](http://www.goremountain.com/mountain/i/maplarge.jpg) IceFace ![http://www.nyvacationrentals.com/images/skimaps/whiteface.jpg](http://www.nyvacationrentals.com/images/skimaps/whiteface.jpg) Peak N Peak ![http://pknpk.com/images/trails.jpg](http://pknpk.com/images/trails.jpg) There is also a place in rochocher. > **[Bristol Mountain - New York Ski & Snowboard Resort - Canandaigua, NY](http://www.bristolmountain.com/)** > > The premier ski resort in the Finger Lakes Region of New York that offers 1200’ of vertical, 2 high speed quads, & state-of-the-art snowmaking on 35 trails. ![http://www.bristolmountain.com/content/images/web-trailmap-07-WG-cc435.jpg](http://www.bristolmountain.com/content/images/web-trailmap-07-WG-cc435.jpg) All in all they are all fun for a winter weekend get away. Try going to one of these places, but only ski one day. Take the other day to walk around town. Get a nice lunch/dinner, and visit all the unique shops. Also: Take the back roads. The threw way is boring as hell. You will see a lot more cool things along the old 219 or the older rts and will still make it in ok time. Luck. Allegany and Letchworth parks are always nice too. ---

Don’t use a debit card to put the security on a hotel. Use a regular credit card. Its not worth the hassle. I use a credit card when i go to canada, and you get the better exchange rate. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/weekend-get-away/44509.md?page=2)
