Planning road trip as above. Any advice on where to stay, what to see, route plan. 3 weeks July/August
Boston/Toronto/Niagra/Boston
The route is 90-west all the way. This includes the Massachusetts Turnpike and arts of the New York Thruway. It takes about 10 hours.
There are some interesting towns in the western part of Massachusetts, like Lee, Great Barrington, and Stockbridge, at exit 1 on the Massachusetts Turnpike. This is about two hours west of Boston. These are great little town to walk around, have lunch, and do a little window shopping.
Then there%26#39;s nothing until you get to Buffalo, New York, where there are some Outlet Malls. This is about an hour before you get to Niagara Falls. Now some folks will tell you all the lovely sights in-between, but I guess I never looked well enough.
While it%26#39;s a boring ride, I would just tough it out and stay in Niagara Falls for the night. Otherwise, it seems to make the trip much longer.
Hope this helps.

Lochey,
If you type ';Niagara Falls'; in the search field under the Massachusetts Forum, you will see a number of posts like yours. There are suggestions there.
If you were only here for a short time, I%26#39;d suggest making the 8-9 hour drive to Niagara Falls in a single day and spend your time there. If you are here for 3 weeks, as it appears in your post, you may want to spend some time exporing some of the suggestions mentioned in those other posts.
As mentioned above, the route is pretty straight forward, where most of your time will be spent on interstate 90 until you get out in the Buffalo, NY area.

Forgot to mention... alanm%26#39;s post regardign the Berkshire Hills (good stop by the way) is exit 2 off the Massachussetts Turnpike (Mass Pike), not exit 1.
