Thanks for the info about the southern route. We will be making this drive 4 times so I figure we may as well try the south one at least once. CAA shows that the northern route takes considerably longer, do you think that is true? Our 2nd day I was hoping on making it to Pembroke, ON (I guess I forgot to put that in the post). On day 3 I was planning on getting into Montreal before mid-afternoon to make sure we could get into our apartment early. If traffic gets bad by 3 I guess we will need to make sure we get in Montreal before then. Thanks for the help. Hey Heather. Thanks for the info about the southern route.

As I recently made the move, I would suggest the northern route. We took it a month ago and it's pretty good. I have taken the southern route many times. While the Great Lake is beautiful, I have always encountered bad weather there. As well, the terrain is very hilly which is hard on the driver and the gas. I am curious to know where you plan to finish on your second day that will make your third day so short. I only say this as the second day on the southern route is generally the hardest. With two of you driving you can make it to Thunder Bay on the first. I would say that if you arrive in Montreal between 3 and 6, you will hit traffic. No big deal, it will just be pretty slow going. Good luck ! Hi Jeff,
