Hi, Guest
The East Coast really is nice, but without a decent amount of planning, most of your day is spent driving. The 101 or whatever the Bay of Fundy Nat'l Park highway is is quite the nice drive and the stop in Elma (I believe that's the town) is very picturesque.
If you go North, you can drive to Cochrane, hop the Polar Bear Express and go to Moosonee for the closest you'll get to the Arctic Ocean without flying to Iqualit or driving the Yukon Highway there from BC (or Alberta, I forget where it starts). There are lots of animals up north and it's neat to see real colonial architecture as it was originally built and put in place. Moose Factory Island is the same way - steam heating and power!
Another neat fact about Moosonee is that it's completely, uhm... "rail-locked". The only way in and out is by rail (most common), plane (businesses) or barge. They also open the "ice road" there in the winter to access the even more remote NW regions of Ontario and up through Fort Churchill and such in Manitoba.
I'll drive the Dempster Highway someday :)

Enjoy man and good luck, no matter where you end up!
