It really depends on where you've been before and what sort of things you enjoy. But of those, I'd choose San Francisco as the weather there is still decent in November (average highs in the 60s, and not quite the rainy season, which is December thru early March) and it's a great city. Obviously, the San Francisco forum is filled with people who'd have more specific advice for you. Or, if you want to wait until May and...

Toronto ! What else would you expect in the Toronto forum. :-) Actually if you insist on coming to Canada then I would go for Victoria - likely to be better weather and you have the ocean. Otherwise i would go for Paris, France any day - who cares about the weather.

we're on board for Paris as well. There's no more romantic place on the face of the planet. In fact, we'd skip the Caribbean cruise & just head straight to the City of Light. B et J

You're about my age - I also suggest checking out places like Kensington Market for food/people watching/live music/drinks www.kensington-market.ca/Default.asp?id=1&l=1 and Ossington Ave for great food and drinks. Start at Queen and Ossington and work your way north, bar hopping or have dinner at one of the many great restaurants on Ossington (I recommend Deluxe or Foxley). Theres also a tequila bar on Ossington with live music (...

Technically The Beach is correct but people say beaches as well. It's caused a bit of debate actually. I like saying the plural beaches as "The Beach" reminds me of the Danny Boyle movie with Leonardo Di Caprio.

Yes, I got my car in Buffalo. And rented the GPS from them also. It would have been nice, since they knew where I was going in Canada, if they had advised me of it either at the desk or when I got the car and he was setting the GPS up.

Hi Everyone! Having trouble finding something in my own hometown, so figured I'd try Tripadvisor, and hopefully this'll be useful to tourists joining us for New Year's eve in Toronto as well. My hubby and I are looking for a venue with dinner and dancing that: -will have a fair number of people in mid 20's to late 30s range -has a formal dress code...i.e. where a floor-length gown won't look out of place. :) Any...

ok, tried to edit post to say: Nightlife: We like more bar/tavern than dance club. Jazz or live music suggestions welcome! Hockey-themed places, too! Hotel: Near restaurants, cafe, nightlife would be great. Haven't been to Toronto in about 12 years but I recall it being easy to get around and safe to walk? Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for your help. I will check out vrbo.com - that will come in handy for other parts of our vacation too. It'll always be The Beaches to me :-)

I agree. I was in the Enterprise office in Brampton 2 weeks ago and the notice about the $10 fee was plain as day - right on the counter where you sign the contract. Also included was a statement advising customers not to use their transponder in the rental, and they were not responsible for any extra charges incurred.
