Most of Ontario is pretty barren in November and driving through at night is different from most places I've been.  There are no street lights along major highways, so you're in the dark.  And cities just seem to approach out of nowhere.  Toronto seemed to just suddenly appear.

The biggest annoyance I've found, which really, isn't much of an annoyance at all, was crossing the border in Port Huron.  Because I was doing a fairly major road trip (Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, New Jersey, Pittsburgh), this was viewed as suspicious and I had to submit to a full car search, as well as a long inquiry in customs.  Now, I don't blame the border guards; they were just doing their job, but I didn't take the time factor into account and was therefore late getting to my hostel.  So keep in mind that if you're driving from the US, you may be held up a while when crossing the border.  It may have taken less time had I crossed in Detroit/Windsor, so consider that option instead.

The view from the CN Tower is very good on a clear day.  You can see far into the distance, although Toronto lacks features (mountains, etc...) that would make the view truly incredible. 

It is a very interesting experience to be taken up that high via an elevator.  The height feels a little too high to be real, although the glass floor is a bit nerve-racking.  It is supposed to be safe enough to withstand an enormous amount of weight, but there is always that little bit of doubt!

It's a great get-away from the city because it is quiet and relaxing. Moreover, the Deerhurst Resort is amazing! (a little pricey though) The resort provides a lot of activities at your disposal, such as kayaking, swimming, hiking, as well as night shows indoors. There's a mini beach at one end of the resort which is connected to Lake Peninsula. The overall atmosphere is calm and the staff are friendly.

Beerbistro is a must visit for anyone who loves beer with food. Too much time and effort has been spent on pairing wine with food, when what one really wants is a beer. At Beer Bistro, they use their pallets to choose which beers got best with each meal. An AMAZING selection of beers (and their Frites are great, too)! Their lunch menu is reasonably priced for those on a budget.
