Only problem is that it goes on and on and on and on and on and on. And then there's Saskatchewan. Holy hell, for all the times I heard people say that you can tie your steering wheel straight and put a brick on the gas pedal and fall asleep, I never believed. Until I drove through there. It's true. Straight and flat. For hours. It's almost exciting when you hit Moose Jaw and there's a curve in the road and a dip into the river valley.
And Sask's roads. Hilarious. About 2 km in from the Manitoba border, the roads suddenly become single, divided and pot hole ridden. Then you hit the Alberta border and you're back on the swanky highways.

I agree with this as well, did it once when we moved out to Calgary, and it was great to see that much of the country, but that trek through Northern Ontario was ridiculously long, it certainly was beautiful though. I'm glad I did it, but happily flew home and back anytime after that. When we eventually moved back, I flew and my then husband drove the car back.
