Plan B sounds a lot like your original Plan A, which is to drive all the way from Toronto to San Francisco and back. That is over 5000 miles of driving, which is pushing it for two weeks, especially if this is supposed to be a relaxed, honeymoon type of RoadTrip. Your alternate plan of driving to Buffalo, flying to San Francisco, and then driving back sounds much more enjoyable, albeit with a price tag. In addition to the plane fare, the cost of a one-way rental is going to be in the $(US)1000-1100 range. As they say, time is money, and you are going to have to choose how to apportion your temporal and monetary resources to produce the trip that is most appealing to you.
