I haven't been to Montreal in about 30 years so can't give you much 
advice there.  However, since you're going to be around for about 2 
weeks you might consider going to Niagara Falls which straddles the 
border between Ontario and New York State in the US.  Plan to see it on 
both sides of the border.  It's an almost overwhelming sight. Staying in 
Canada all the way you can drive there in about 7-1/2 hours.  If you 
elect to travel through New York it can take 8 or 8-1/2 hours depending 
on your route.

If you drop straight south from Montreal into New York you can pass by 
Lake Champlain.  It's a resort area and a beautiful drive in the fall. 
The area has lots of sugar maples which produce a lot of red coloration 
when the leaves change.  From there you can head west toward Buffalo and 
Niagara Falls and will pass through the Finger Lakes region of New York. 
  Also very beautiful and dotted with hundreds of wineries which offer 
tasting tours.  Even a Frenchman might enjoy the New York wines!  These 
days most of them carry French names.  :-)

OK, time for the Québécois to answer.
