Dave and Victoria ...

Whatever route you take heading east from Michigan, I strongly encourage you to avoid the 401 and 407 (high tolls) through/around Toronto unless you plan to sneak through in the middle of the night. In the summer especially, the 401 around Toronto more closely resembles a 100 mile parking lot than a highway. IF you do decide to come through southern Ontario, I recommend crossing the border at Port Huron, take the 402 to the 401, then the 403 to the QEW all the way to Fort Erie. Cross back into the US at Buffalo and take I-190 to either I-90 (New York State Thruway (high tolls) or, as others have suggested, route 20 heading toward Rochester. The only tolls along this route are at the border crossing in Port Huron and the road is 4-lane "interstate type" all the way. The only "traffic" issues are around Hamilton and Buffalo but are easily managed.
