I had to find the most cost efficient way to move from Canada to the deep south USA. I was quoted $3600 from a moving company. There was no way I was going to part with my material goods that I took so much time to find and buy. The best way to transport all my stuff was to rent a mini van. You can’t rent a car in Canada and drop it off in the USA, so the next best option was to rent a car from the closest American city. My fiance took a plane from Texas to Boston and from there drove to Montreal. Avis was the best deal for this, but we asked for a minivan and they gave us a “Ford Flex”, which is much smaller! I had to give away a lot of my stuff because we were anticipating bigger cargo space!

Anyway, all in all, the cost was less than $3000, we had an adventure and stopped in many interesting cities.

 

 

We took communauto to drive from Montreal to Toronto and made a few stops on the way.

1. The Community Market, Long Sault, Ontario. Interesting local artisan market.

2. Long Sault Parkway, Long Sault, Ontario. Nice sceneries, we even saw a deer.

3. Halls Apple Market, Brockville, Ontario. Interesting novelty that beats the big apple! A tad expensive, just try the small pie. I prefer good old fashion Gaudet pie.

4. Fulford Place, Brockville, Ontario. See how high rollers lived back then. The landscape architect for central park in NY designed this backyard.

5. Dianne’s Fish Shack & Smokehouse, Kingston, Ontario. Good selection of seafood in scenic Kingston!
