I live a few hors from Ottawa. Where are you based? Maybe you will pass my house...

Have fun. Don;t forget to go in the Crazy Kitchen in the Sci & Tech museum. Also, they have those things where the seats move during the movie, that's fun. I hope you get to go to The Museum of Civilization in Hull, that place is huge and a lot of fun (for a museum). Get tickets for the Omnimax and go to the bottom seats because they recline :)

You can tell I visit Ottawa at least once a year (because some of my family lives there) and I have gone on three school trips there.

I hope you get to read this, you may be gone by now.

I live in Sarnia, a small city in southwestern Ontario, I would be surprised if you know where it is, it's actually a pretty nice peaceful town, extremely close to the US, and it takes about 6 to 7 hours to get to Kingston and Ottawa
Unfortunately, we did not go the sci & tech museum :(, we had couple other planned destinations that we decided not to go, like Camp X (I was actually looking forward to that one, since I am kinda interested in espionage and spy work). However, we did go the Museum of Civilization, it was very good, I liked it, especially the part about post office and the vikings. We were going to go to the IMAX threatre, but due to some weird communication problems, we couldn't go...
But the rest of the trip was extremely awesome. We went to Rideau Hall, and I actually saw half of Adrienne Clarkson's actual face (not picture, real person :p) :D, we also went to Parliament building, Aviation museum, war museum, Fort Henry, we had three long tiring days, but they were absolutely fantastic!
