A gallery of roadside views between Toronto and Saratoga Springs — snapshots taken on the move by Deb, capturing the changing landscapes from Canada’s city skylines to America’s forested backroads.
Our final drive in Canada took us across bridges and islands before crossing into upstate New York. From wooden moose souvenirs to Amish buggies and forest roads, we ended the day in the laid-back charm of Saratoga Springs.
Leaving Toronto behind, we followed Lake Ontario’s backroads through Oshawa, Cobourg and Belleville, stopping to explore historic Parkwood Estate and Kingston Mills Lockstation before ending the day in Gananoque with great food, beer and plenty of character.
A rolling collection of roadside snapshots — barns, bridges, houses and highways — all taken on the move from the passenger seat. These are the in-between moments that connect the dots of our East Coast USA and Canada adventure from New York to Toronto
Leaving Niagara-on-the-Lake after breakfast on the veranda, we followed the backroads along Lake Ontario towards Toronto. Misty lakeside drives, apple fritters from Tim Hortons, and a night watching Morrissey at the Budweiser Stage made for one unforgettable day in Canada.
Day 4 of our East Coast USA road trip was a driving day in every sense — the kind where the journey itself becomes the highlight. We left Ithaca at first light, coffee and pastries in hand, ready to swap college-town calm for the open road and our first full day behind the wheel in earnest.
From the misty American viewpoints to the thunderous beauty of the Canadian side, our visit to Niagara Falls was unforgettable. Here’s what it’s like to see both perspectives of this legendary natural wonder — and why it deserves a place on every traveller’s list.

The drive from Anaheim to Santa Barbara took showed us both sides of the American dream, from the poverty of South L.A to the riches of Malibu and Pacific coast.
We had an early start after a lovely breakfast in the hotel. First stop was a quick jaunt into Lone Pine to get the now obligatory fridge magnet for Oz and pin badge for myself. We then made our way to the "Movie Road,
We thought the drive down from Mammoth lakes to Lone Pines would be a good one with quite a few stops at Towns along the way which looked interesting on the map. It actually turned out that most the towns
Again, not a lot to really report as it was just a scenic drive through beautiful scenery of mountains and forests, passing Lakes and cliffs and sweeping green meadows. I'll let the pictures do the talking this time.
