774 km · ~10h 05m
Boston
Nine hundred and two kilometres to the city where the country started — a red line on the pavement through its history, a ballpark from 1912, two universities every Vaughan teenager has heard of, and the road to Cape Cod and Maine beyond it.

777 km · ~9h 50m
Chicago
Eight hundred and thirty-seven kilometres west across Michigan to the city that invented the skyscraper — a park with a mirror bean, a river cruise past the buildings, a ballpark with ivy, and a pizza the family argues about on the drive home.

174 km · ~2h 15m
Buffalo Bills game day in Orchard Park
One hundred and ninety-two kilometres to the loudest lot in the NFL — Vaughan's Bills fans have crossed the Peace Bridge on autumn Sundays for forty years; this is the version where the Sprinter waits in the lot and nobody is the driver.
192 km · ~2h 34m
Niagara Falls, New York
One hundred and forty-eight kilometres to the other bank of a river every Vaughan family has seen from Ontario — the oldest state park in the country, a wooden deck at the foot of the Bridal Veil where the spray is a storm, and a fort that has flown three flags.
148 km · ~1h 58m
Rochester, New York
Two hundred and seventy-two kilometres to the city Kodak built — a museum where children are meant to touch everything, a photography museum in a mansion, a waterfall in the middle of downtown and, in May, a park of lilacs; the weekend Vaughan families with young children book first.
272 km · ~3h 35m
Syracuse
Four hundred and nine kilometres to the centre of New York State — a domed stadium with thirty thousand basketball fans, a mall with a go-kart track on its top floor, the museum of the canal that built the state, and a lake town Vaughan families use as the quiet night.
409 km · ~5h 08m
Albany
Six hundred and thirty-three kilometres to New York's capital, where the Thruway meets the Hudson — a free state museum with a carousel on its roof, a capitol that took thirty-two years to build, a performing-arts hall shaped like an egg, and the night that splits the Boston and New York drives in two.

Five hundred and twenty kilometres to a city at the meeting of three rivers, reached through a tunnel that opens onto the skyline all at once — two funiculars, four Carnegie museums, a ballpark the polls call the best in baseball, and a house over a waterfall ninety minutes south.
520 km · ~6h 27m
Baltimore
Seven hundred and fifty-seven kilometres to a harbour city an hour from the capital — an aquarium with a rainforest on its roof, a fort where a flag survived a night of bombardment and became a song, a ballpark that changed how ballparks are built, a cobbled waterfront of pubs and a crab feast with a mallet; the harbour day the Washington week adds.
757 km · ~10h 05m
Atlantic City
Eight hundred and seventy-six kilometres to the original Boardwalk — four miles of planks between the casinos and the Atlantic, a pier with a Ferris wheel over the water, a beach that costs nothing and a Saturday night that the Sprinter's driver does not join; the group weekend Vaughan's friends book instead of Niagara's casino.
876 km · ~11h 08m
Burlington, Vermont
Six hundred and fifty-four kilometres through Montreal to a city of forty-five thousand on Lake Champlain's shore, where a pedestrian street is the downtown, an ice-cream factory is the tour, a museum has a steamboat on its lawn and the Green Mountains are the view — the base of the Vermont week Vaughan families take in October.
654 km · ~8h 20m
Stowe, Vermont
Six hundred and seventy-eight kilometres to a village with a white church steeple under Vermont's highest mountain — the ski resort New England measures itself by, the lodge the Trapp family built when the hills reminded them of Austria, and a notch road that closes in winter and stops the traffic in October.
678 km · ~8h 55m
Lake Placid and the Adirondacks
Five hundred and thirty-seven kilometres to a village of three thousand that has held two Winter Olympics — a mountain with a ski-race pedigree and a summer road to its summit, a bobsled track the public rides, a rink where a miracle happened and six million acres of park around it; the Adirondack week in both seasons.
537 km · ~7h 10m
Lake George
Six hundred and thirty-two kilometres to the lake Jefferson called the most beautiful water he ever saw — thirty-two miles of it between the mountains, a steamboat that has run since 1817, a grand hotel on an island, a fort from the French and Indian War and a village that has been a family holiday for a century.
632 km · ~8h 20m
Saratoga Springs
Six hundred and twenty-four kilometres to the oldest racetrack in the country, in a town of mineral springs and Victorian porches where the New York City Ballet spends July and the horses spend August — the weekend Vaughan's racing groups book, and the night everyone else uses on the way to Boston.
624 km · ~7h 54m
Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame
Five hundred and forty-nine kilometres to a village of eighteen hundred on a lake James Fenimore Cooper called Glimmerglass, where the game's history is kept in three floors of a brick building on Main Street and every second shop sells bats — the pilgrimage a Vaughan baseball family makes when the son's travel team gets its Dreams Park week.
549 km · ~6h 59m
Ithaca and the gorges
Four hundred and fourteen kilometres to a town where the university sits on a hill between two gorges and the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rockies is ten minutes up the lake — the weekend Vaughan families with a Grade 12 student book for the campus and remember for the water.
414 km · ~5h 26m
Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes
Four hundred kilometres to eleven glacial lakes with a hundred wineries between them, a gorge with nineteen waterfalls in three kilometres, and a racetrack that once held the US Grand Prix — the weekend where the chauffeur is the designated driver and the Riesling is the reason.
400 km · ~5h 06m
Corning and the Museum of Glass
Three hundred and seventy-three kilometres to a small town with the world's largest glass museum — a hot shop where the glassblowers work in front of the family, a studio where the children make their own, and a main street the company built; the Finger Lakes' museum day.
373 km · ~4h 58m
Letchworth State Park
Two hundred and seventy-one kilometres to a gorge the Genesee cut through seventeen miles of rock — three waterfalls, a railway bridge over the top of one, an inn on the rim and a park road that a chauffeured family watches from the window instead of the wheel.
271 km · ~3h 39m
Erie and Presque Isle
Three hundred and twenty-two kilometres along the lake's shore to a sand peninsula with thirteen beaches, a wooden coaster on a cliff above it, a tall ship in the bay and — for the winter version — an indoor water park the size of a stadium; the American beach that faces Ontario.
322 km · ~4h 12m
Ellicottville and Holiday Valley
Two hundred and fifty-six kilometres to the ski town Buffalo built — sixty slopes above a village of one street, a private hill next door, an après-ski scene Ontario's resorts envy, and a drive on which the skis, the boots and the family fit in one vehicle with a driver who has done the 219 in snow.
256 km · ~3h 20m
Chautauqua Institution
Two hundred and ninety-one kilometres to a Victorian village on a lake where a morning lecture, an afternoon on the water and an evening symphony are the same day's programme — the week Vaughan's readers, retirees and thinking families book once and then every summer.
291 km · ~3h 50m
Six Flags Darien Lake
Two hundred and twenty-two kilometres to a theme park with a hypercoaster, a water park and a concert amphitheater on one site — the American Wonderland that Vaughan families cross the Peace Bridge for when the children have ridden everything on Highway 400.
222 km · ~2h 53m
Buffalo outlet and mall shopping
One hundred and eighty-eight kilometres to a mall with the stores Ontario does not have, a grocery run for Trader Joe's and Wegmans, and a vehicle whose luggage bay is the point — with the border's duty rules explained before the receipts pile up.
188 km · ~2h 29m
Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls
One hundred and fifty-one kilometres to an outlet centre five minutes from the American falls — the brands at outlet prices, the bridge in each direction, and a chauffeur who knows that the receipts envelope matters more than the parking spot.
151 km · ~1h 58m
Grove City Premium Outlets
Four hundred and thirty-seven kilometres to the outlet centre that Ontario's serious shoppers rate above Buffalo's — a hundred and thirty stores off an interstate in western Pennsylvania, an overnight that turns the trip duty-free, and a vehicle whose luggage bay is the whole point.
437 km · ~5h 27m
Hershey, Pennsylvania
Six hundred and sixty kilometres to a town whose streetlights are shaped like Kisses — a theme park built by a chocolate company, a free ride through a chocolate factory, a grand hotel with a cocoa spa and, thirty minutes east, the Amish farms of Lancaster County; the weekend Vaughan families with children under twelve book for the smell.
660 km · ~8h 35m
Gettysburg
Six hundred and forty-two kilometres to the field where the Civil War turned — twenty-four miles of auto tour with a licensed guide in the passenger seat, a hill a Grade 10 student has read about, a cemetery where two hundred and seventy-two words were spoken; the day Vaughan families put on the road to Washington.
642 km · ~9h 12m
The Poconos
Six hundred and forty-three kilometres to Pennsylvania's mountains, where the resorts have indoor water parks the size of stadiums, the lakes have the cottages Vaughan families rent, the ski hills open in December and two of the country's biggest cities are ninety minutes down the interstate — the American Muskoka with a water park inside.
643 km · ~8h 16m
Portland, Maine
Nine hundred and sixty kilometres to the far end of the northern road — a working harbour of brick warehouses turned into restaurants, a lighthouse Washington commissioned, a bay of islands served by a mailboat, a store that never closes and lobster at every third door; the coast week Vaughan families add to the White Mountains.
960 km · ~12h 50m
The White Mountains of New Hampshire
Eight hundred and sixty-five kilometres to the highest mountains in the Northeast — a steam railway that has climbed the biggest since 1869, a highway built for the foliage, a notch with a gorge and a tramway, a storybook park for the children and a grand white hotel where the world's money was reordered in 1944.
865 km · ~11h 29m
Cape Cod
Nine hundred and ninety-five kilometres to a hooked arm of sand seventy miles into the Atlantic — forty miles of protected beach, a town at the tip that is the most colourful in New England, whales an hour offshore, a bicycle trail on an old railway and two islands by ferry; the beach week Vaughan families book when Boston is done.
995 km · ~12h 15m
Alexandria Bay and Boldt Castle
Three hundred and thirty kilometres to the other shore of the river Vaughan families know from Gananoque — a castle a hotelier built for a wife who died before it was finished, a second castle with secret passages, and a bridge that puts both countries' islands in one chauffeured day.
330 km · ~4h 07m
Newport, Rhode Island
Nine hundred and forty-five kilometres to the town where America's richest families built summer 'cottages' of seventy rooms — a walk along the cliff below their lawns, a drive along the ocean past their gates, a tennis casino with grass courts, and two festivals on a fort's lawn; the weekend Vaughan couples book and Vaughan families add to Boston or the Cape.
945 km · ~11h 39m
Crossing the US border by chauffeured car: the Vaughan family's guide
Every Eastern-USA trip on this site passes through one booth on the way out and one on the way home — this is what happens at each, what to have in your hand, what to leave at home, and what the chauffeur handles so the family does not have to.
0 km · ~0 minWhere Vaughan goes when it leaves Vaughan
Every one of these trips began as a booking from a Woodbridge, Thornhill, Maple, Kleinburg, Concord or VMC address: a family that did not want to split into two cars, a group of friends who wanted the whole weekend and not just the destination, a couple who decided the drive to Quebec City should be part of the holiday rather than the price of it. The posts below are the trips those bookings turned into — one hundred of them, from a two-hour run to Niagara to a two-day drive to Cape Cod — written for the next family deciding whether to do the same.
Each post gives the road distance and routing-estimate driving time from Vaughan (measured from the city's centre with an open-source router, without stops or traffic), the vehicle class that suits the group, where the chauffeur waits, what the trip costs relative to driving yourself, and the border, ferry or seasonal detail that changes the plan. They are grouped by region; the Eastern USA border guide covers the documents, NEXUS and duty questions once so the American posts do not have to.
