Never really been to Canada. Just popped across the border at Niagra Falls and then back into the US again! As a Brit, I know it won't apply to Canadians, if you fly into Vancouver and then drive up into Alaska does anyone know if you still need to get a US ESTA or is that solely an aircraft thing?
Advice required, we are looking at some cruises in 2013 departing New York 23rd September ending up Montreal 3rd October or reverse 3rd October ending in New York 13 th October or again NY to Montreal 13-23 Oct and final choice Montreal to Miami 23 Oct till 7th November never been to USA or Canada, would like to see Autumn colours which would be the best date to go in your opinion, understand there no set dates for tree to change colour, and that colour is weather dependent.
Also what would the normal weather be like at that time of year, don't mind rough weather but do like a little warmth. Any clues would be appreciated.

The website states that it applies to arriving in the US by air or sea, so presumably isn't required if you go over a land border...
I believe if driving from Canada to the States you just have to fill out a decleration at the border. Not done it myself yet but I'm pretty sure it's a different arrangement to traveling by air or sea.

weather in vancouver tends to be similar to our own . it rains as much sometimes more so. only been to New York in the summer so can't help you there... But I know it's too hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. So I imagine the autumn would be a nice time to go.

NY can be hot right up to the end of September...when I lived in NY the September was fantastic temp around 75f (25c), October was OK, then it got cold in November and then the snow came in Dec/Jan....very cold. The fall isn't easy to predict but generally Sept/Oct isn't a bad time to see the 'changing colours'....if you can visit Bear Mountain, it's about 20 miles north of New York City...a great place to see the Autumn colours and to do a spot of hiking.
Been to New York in March - one day everybody was sweltering in shorts and t-shirts, the next it was snowing heavily. I think it just depends on the latitude that the jet stream is travelling along as to whether it's hot & dry or cold & wet.
