I don't consider any drive under an hour to be a waste of my time.
Next weekend I'll be meeting Peter face to face while I'm up in Montreal. I think it's cool to meet other IA forum members in real life.
The money is pretty easy to figure out the exchange for. Too bad the US dollar is doing so poorly lately. You've lost a lot of the advantage of the exchange rate lately. Currently, our dollar is worth about $0.80 US and when you figure in the 15% sales tax here it's pretty much a straight up exchange. The best thing to do is use a credit card to make most of your purchases and get a bit of cash just for basics.
The temperature here is actually quite similar to New Jersy. We just use Celcius instead of Farenheight on our thermometers. What you're used to as 70 degrees in the US (room temperature) is about 20 degrees here. Bring a light jacket for the evenings and morning and plan on long sleeved shirts during the day. If this current weather continues you might be able to wear short sleeves during the day.
Let me know if you change your mind about the guided tour. I know my way around Little India, Greektown, and some of the Asian areas in Toronto. I head into TO about once per month.
