Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Dave, I'm going to print that list you put up and mark all the LFS on my map. Question, what is SUM and NAFB? I know we will be heading out to Niagra during the visit and Hamilton is on the way  I will have to get a hold of MJC and the other vendors to see where they are and what times are good for them. As for bringing corals back. If I see something I absolutely have to have, I'll buy and have vendor ship to Vancouver I guess. My sister and her husband are both customs agents so I will have to ask them what I can and cannot bring on a plane with me back. He's a supervisor at Pearson so maybe he could help me out  If it turns out that I can bring certain corals back, I'll be sure to post on this thread.

NAFB = North American Fish Breeders (located in Scarborough) Both are worth the visit, as they are probably the cheapest places to purchase corals/fish. They don't necessarily have the high end, ultra pieces (these are fast picked over within the first hours of a new shipment), but there is always a gem or two that can be found and prices are always good. If you are heading to Niagara, there is definitely a sleeper store in Hamilton (2 min off the QEW), I won't say much about this guy, but I don't think you will be disappointment with a visit

Tour Guide.....
IF our schedules coincide; I'd be glad to play tour guide for you and we can make a roadtrip out of it. All the stores Hydrologist has mentioned are worth visiting. We will of course....visit that funny fella in the Hamilton/Niagara area (bring your sunglasses - corals are blinding).
I've been fortunate to meet a few CanReef members in the past. It's always nice to meet and chat with a fellow hobbyist. I'll try my best and have the stores open for you

 Taipan is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I would definitely take him up on his offer! Kien bought a bunch of corals from us before he flew back home. From my understand he packed his suitcase full of corals and never had a problem.

Whoops. +1 for Taipan. met him when I was at fragfest last fall. I really liked him.
As far as bringing corals back goes, I've done it many times. Just put it in your checked luggage with a few heatpacks. I always try to make the package as small as possible with hardly any air.

That guy in the Niagra region with the Acans that are out of this world, right? Everytime he puts up pics I bring out my kid's drool rag for myself
Taipan, I will definitely take you up on that offer for a guided tour! Better to go around with someone who knows the area. I'm from Vancouver and we have nothing like your freeway systems there... Really? I can pack the corals in my checked luggage?? There goes all my spending money for the trip... I'm just a little excited now
