Guest Hal Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's been a few years since I was in Windsor, but, no, I don't recall there being anything there worthwhile beyond the casino and some strip clubs. Windor kind of reminded me of OSU's campus - the junky part (i.e., what all campus looked like before they redid the Gateway District). Just a bunch of crappy, college-esque bars, flyers on telephone polls, and gimmick shops. And I can't think of anything within a 8-10 hour drive in Canada beyond Toronto that I'd go see. Also, while I'm thinking of it, do you and your woman have passports? If not, then forget about going to Canada. That's what I thought about Windsor. I'll take a look at Toronto. We've both got passports so that's no issue. I definitely got some good ideas out of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I didnt read thru the whole thread but if you like a water scene or something, lake cumberland is amazing place to chillax on the water in house boat. They got weekend rentals and you can get into your own canal and never see anyone for the rest of the weekend and they got hot tubs on the boats.

I definitely got some good ideas out of this thread. If you have to chose between Chicago and Toronto, I go Chicago all day long. Not only is it closer, it's bigger, it has more things to do, and it's a cooler city, IMHO. Toronto is culturally diverse, but so is Chicago. Not to knock Toronto, but Chicago is definitely an international-type city. I am fairly sure that it has been ranked just below the "alpha cities" of the world - New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo - on the second tier of international destinations.

It's definitely warm enough around there for this now too. I was watching for the weather down here earlier and it said it's supposed to be 90 around there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got weekend rentals and you can get into your own canal and never see anyone for the rest of the weekend and they got hot tubs on the boats. I would love to go to Lake Cumberland. My wife has been almost every year since she was 4 and is bored of it. I think I'll get her to go when we find a boat, like what Nick just bought, to pick up in the next year or two. At that point I'm going to get another couple or two to go so we can get a nice big house boat for a week. Is the water level back up yet?

ghost face Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Vermillion Ohio is another great weekend getaway place. They have wine vineyards/ farms nearby that sale their goods, clean and not so crowded beach, and a pretty small community that makes you feel like you are living "back in the days".

spkcadet Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I would say check out Catabwa Island up near sandusky. Then you could hit up Port Clinton during the day (before the drunks all come out). Great place to chill out, drive around in a golf cart, check out some sights and sounds. If you arent opposed to a slightly longer trip Mackinaw Island is pretty sweet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
