If we're looking for a place with a strange name and strange things to do, there is a Hell MI. I hear they have some hot times there.

So, let me get this straight...If we're looking for a place with a strange name and strange things to do, there is a Hell-o MI (minus the O) hehe. I hear they have some "different" shops
If you go shopping in Hell-o, you can buy the products named after the D---o town in Nfld?
What a riot!

We're so going to hang out sometime. I haven't seen them in concert in 20 years, they were this way a couple years ago and I couldn't go.
Speaking of that MI town, have you seen the "froze over" sign photo?

Toronto - my sister spent some time there back in the 60s.
We have a suburb of Newcastle (a coal-mining, former ship-building city north of Sydney) called Toronto. My brother lived there for a while, SIL1 comes from that area too. He assures me, as do my brother's children, that the Australian pronunciation is a very nasal "Tronna".
Just thought I'd share that...

Interesting.
Here, locals always say that you can spot the tourists because they're the ones who say "To-RON-toe". Locals call the city "Ta-Ronn-ah". So, not too far off.

I usually refer to Toronto as T, O.

Apparently the "in crowd" now calls it "T-Dot" for some reason or other. I feel idiotic using most slang (and I'm also very bad at it), so I just say "Toronto".

Trinity~ how about Niagara on the Lake or Stratford? I think our members could have fun at these locales too.

I say someone needs to win the lottery so we can all visit Marg in the Land Down Under!
I'm a sucker (lollipop if it gets censored) for men with Australian accents. Back in my teens I met a young man by the name of Mick, Mike, or Michael, take your pick.
WOW his accent was so thick that I could barely understand a word he said, but I sat listening to him ramble on for hours!

Niagara-on-the-Lake is stunningly beautiful but incredibly expensive. Ownership of several hotels and B&Bs has been consolidated over the last several years. The owner has done a lovely job renovating them, but the price--on top of travel--might be out of reach for people.
Stratford is probably more reasonable from a cost perspective. AND it's close to St. Mary's (famous for antiques, farmers markets, etc) and lovely countryside. If we time it right, we might be in time for a good run at the theatre too.

The more expensive the town, the less people will be able to afford to go
Hell, Michigan has some interesting shops...lol. Never been there, but saw something on it on television.

I would love to get up to northern NY. I understand it is beautiful. I know northern NH is. I am expecting most of the northern parts of NE would be fairly the same. I have been in Maine, NH and then down the I95 corridor. Though I think that area would be most beautiful in the fall.

Only been up to Lake George once, but I recall it being quite pretty. I'd love to go again but don't see it happening any time soon.

Semi-seriously, if you came to Aus I would probably be able to organise accommodation at minimal cost.
travel costs would be the issue. And jet-lag.
