Drive or Fly to SES Toronto
I will be skipping the Germany and Japan SES SES shows, but I will be attending the Toronto, London and San Jose (etc.) SES shows. I have been contemplating the idea of driving from New York to Toronto for the past past month now. When I first plotted the trip, I used Yahoo! Maps, but now Google has a sleek Maps tool, so I plotted it today using Google Maps. One can visualize the trip much more clearly this way, in fact, I save about 30 minutes using Google Maps over Yahoo! Maps, both go a round about way. I have yet to plug in the route into my GPS to see which route it chooses.
Anyway, Google Maps, is much more clear, not that I use it. If I decide to drive, I will be using my GPS device to tell me which way to go. And I am hoping that it tells me to go the route I manually drew on paper, the green route. Google wants me to go the purple route, I want to fly the red route, or drive the green route if possible, well, Yahoo, wants me to go a different way totally. Just wasting some time with mapping technologies, no real point to this entry.

Drive it! The landscape in rural NY State and Ontario is beautiful. Your green-route takes you through the Ithica area and past Niagara Falls.
The second half of the trip in S.Ontario will be through the sprawl of Toronto (Hamilton to TO)but the first half is through amazing farmland and small towns.
An alterantive might be to take the fast-ferry from Rochester to downtown Toronto if it has been resurected by that time. Be warned though, parking costs in downtown Toronto can be dangerously expensive.
