Rent a houseboat

“We rented a houseboat for a week with another couple in Canada (northeast of Toronto) and had one of our best vacations ever. We'll never forget it! We had a large houseboat for just four people (it slept 10), but we enjoyed the space. It had a full kitchen, microwave, etc. and a gas grill on the deck outside. You could steer from inside or from the top deck, where you could sunbathe (we played music up there at night and danced under the stars. We didn't experience any seasickness until we got off the boat at the end of our trip. We were sitting in a restaurant in Toronto and all four of us were swaying back and forth. It took several weeks for me to feel like I was really on solid ground again. We weren't boaters, so the first few days were challenging, learning to navigate the waters and maneuver the craft, especially because there were many locks connecting the waterways. The first time we did a lock was harrowing!”
