Some homework for me then! Doh- looks like we might need to include Boston or Washington or drop NY and do both! Lol!

Nice decisions to have to make. Whilst Boston was always on our list (Whales and Freedom Trail), Mandie was not over keen on visiting Washington DC .. It absolutely blew her away with its cleanliness, space, ease of viewing all the ‘a’list stuff etc. Remember that we stuck rigidly to the Mall area, which to us is where all the ‘must see’s’ are.
The only snag came when we flew on to Orlando. We were staying at Crystal City, just over the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial and adjacent to R Reagan international airport (great location). We caught a $70 Taxi in order to see the Hazy Centre and fly out of Dulles on an indirect via Detroit to Orlando… and got delayed 4 hours in Detroit. Mandie later found that a direct from Reagan to Orlando was in fact cheaper than our indirects from Dulles… Oh how she laughed!

We spent a week in Toronto a few years ago (quite a few years ago 😂 ) and I would not have wanted to base myself at the airport. It was not particularly well connected to the city from what I found.
I also would have found two nights at Niagara Falls too long. We found loads to do in Toronto. As to New York - I don’t think I could ever tire of it!

There is now a seemingly excellent metro line going from airport to city centre in around 25 minutes.

None of those.
If you want to see lots of tanks, then the USS Alabama memorial at Mobile may be the place to go.. along with a stay at gorgeous Pensacola Beach of course! Or maybe this one, 50 miles West of Boston! I haven’t been here…. Yet. americanheritagemuseum.o...on-directions/ The best one is at Fort Lee, where all the stuff from the Aberdeen proving ground has been moved. This is comparable to Bovington, Saumir, Thun, Kublinka etc with an awful lot of WW2 German Stuff. It is not open to the public!

Crikey, you really know your stuff! Trying to fit Boston in along the way but looking it might have to be a seperate trip as cannot find flights between toronto and boston. DD would probably struggle with a three centre stop.

Plenty of flights, direct from mainly Pearson (the big airport) and also Billy Bishop.
Maybe you are simply looking too far ahead right now. Hope it helps!

I also would not base myself at the airport. There are plenty of hotels where everything is walkable. If you like museums, there is the ROM, the Art gallery of Toronto and the Bata shoe museum. Case Loma and the CN tower are worth visiting. I have given a list of stuff to do on another Toronto thread posted this morning if you are interested. The last time we visited the zoo they had bears.
