| 165.1 | my way... | TROA01::DZIALOWSKI | | Sun Apr 09 1989 22:52 | 22 |
| You will be arriving through Detroit and Windsor at the worst time
and competing with a zillion loaded trucks for the attention of
Canada Customs and Immigration.
An alternate route wich takes you from Detroit Metro Airport to Toronto
without ever leaving the highway is:
from the airport exit:
I94 toward Detroit and until the end of I94 in Port-Huron, Mi (90mn)
Just before the end of I94, take exit "bridge to Canada"
Pass toll (75c) and Immigration (passport) and you are on HWY402
Drive on HWY402 until the ends (60mn), it ends into HWY401
Drive on HWY401 from 90 to 120 mn (depending traffic and where in
Toronto ?).
If you tell me what your final destination is, I'll give you more
details.
Speed limits:
I94 65mph
HWY402/401 100Km/h
If you stick to 110 Km/h, you won't be bothered by the speed traps.
Radar detector are not allowed in Ontario.
If you are arriving through Detroit City Airport it is even shorter:
From airport go east along Conner Av. and into I94 east. Then see
above. It is from 30 to 45 mn closer to Port-Huron

| 165.2 | It is shorter too... | KAOFS::N_BAXTER | we'll see who rusts first... | Mon Apr 10 1989 16:28 | 3 |
| For once I can agree with Louie. The 402 drive is better than the
401. Louie...you didn't "sell" Sarnia???
|
| 165.3 | The shorter road is through SARNIA | TROA02::DZIALOWSKI | | Mon Apr 10 1989 21:21 | 11 |
| OK! OK! The other side of the bridge, accross Port-Huron is in ....
...
....
.....SARNIA !!!!!! (see topic 53 in the same note file)
...and Sarnia is: -the beginning of HWY 402 when you go east
-the end of HWY 402 when you go west
-the Ontario/Michigan Gateway
-the Lake Huron/St.Clair River Connection
So when you pass the bridge, kneel and kiss the ground!

| 165.4 | Forgot about the weather | WR1FOR::YIP_MI | Lt Cmdr, Chief Test Pilot | Thu Apr 13 1989 16:59 | 9 |
| I forgot to ask in .0 about the weather during that time
(early May) of the year around Toronto area. Years of
travel has taught me not to believe what the tour books
say but "rely" on local information more.
Thanks again.
Michael.

| 165.5 | Weather -- What Weather | KAOO01::LAPLANTE | Not the Northern Magus | Fri Apr 14 1989 12:25 | 7 |
| Well.... it snowed yesterday, but who cares????
Actually the weather is usually great in mid-late May. We have had
some unusual heat waves at that time of year. You might want a light
jacket/sweater for evening.
