I have a plan forming, I was idly looking at the Canadian dates the other day whhen a friend of mine mentioned some plans to travel south-east Canada in September but he'd ideally like someone to go with. So we obviously put 2 and 2 together and made Awesome Canadian road trip. We're in the UK, flights are looking like about £500. He drives so we'd probably fly into Toronto and try to catch the Ottawa and Hamilton shows to. So I have 2 questions.

1. Any advice for doing this on a budget? We've got a fair bit of travelling experience between us and we're quite happy to stay in hostels or even the car if it comes to it, but would prefer not to get stabbed in our sleep.
2. Absolute must sees in the area? don't mind travelling a ways if it's worth it.

Please read the This All Encompassing Trip: Chasing Pearl Jam Around The World by Jason Leung. I strongly believe that you will find lots of answers in this book.

you wont get stabbed wherever you go-
so plan on $200 per night for a hotel in the city or 45-1 hr drive to a campsite for $30.
Toronto arena is right downtown where many hotels are and a fine place to walk around.
Ottawa staudium us out of town so not sure what the best plan is there.
stay at any hotel along the way they will be good enough

Any opinions out there as far as Montreal and Ottawa venues and general past concert experiences. We're from Vancouver and are looking at a visit for the shows combined with holiday. Thanks in advance.

You definately don't want to go to Toronto then, very bad place, stabbings, shootings,etc. So you might be best to go everywhere else but Toronto I'll take that chance for you and go to Toronto both nights and if I survive I'll write a nice review for you..........

I only have 1 week to decide where to go, Toronto for 2 shows or Montreal on my Birthday .

See PJ in Montreal on your Birthday .

As of now I'm leaning towards a Birthday Celebration !

In Toronto here's the Global Village Backpackers hostel which is central but in a decent area and has it's own bar for $25/night http://www.globalbackpackers.com/# I've stayed there a couple times when partying in TO and no complaints. From Toronto it's about a 50 min. drive to Hamilton, you'll want to hit up Hess Village for it's mass amounts of different pubs/bars and only a few blocks away from where PJ will be playing..there a couple of cheap hotels in that area as well.

We live in the area so will be going to all of the shows, let us know if you're into pre/post drinks etc etc

Absolute must see is Niagara Falls!

Booked my hotel for Montreal last night. At the Novotel across from the venue. Good times ahead!

Falling Down

Please let me have my Montreal tickets without a fight. Since their last show in Montreal in 2005 I travelled over 10,000 miles to see them while this time the Bell Centre is a few meters from my office window...
