Question:
Humans say...
Holly
Portugal!! Perfect time of year
Justin
Agreed
David
That's so weird you said that. That's what I'm trying to work out!!!
Holly
haha that's funny
I spent nine days there...flew into Lisbon and out of Porto. Rented a car and saw a bunch of the country. I'm an independent traveller (so I can't help with tour groups)...
Jason
Hi Holly, I heading to Spain and Portugal in November. Did you need an international driving license to rent a car in Portugal and was it expensive?
Holly
Not at all. Just my good old Class 5.
Holly
It was not expensive to rent (I guess define "expensive"). No more than it has cost in other countries I guess. I always decline the daily extra insurance as my TD Infinite Visa covers it. That save quite a bit of money.
Holly
Looks like David might be there at the same time lol. You guys should have a glass of port one night!
Jason
Did you picked any car rental or you did you research before?
Holly
I am a big fan of Sixt and I've used EuropCar with no problems. I just look for the cheapest, reputable company.
Jason
Thanks Holly! Great info...
Jason
I also have TD Infinite Visa. Do I have to phone them a get any information first? So sorry with all the questions.
Holly
Gosh, no worries. I have never (in all my travels) presented anything or had to call TD. I just decline (despite the pressure they may put on you).

Check out autoeurope as they are a car rental broker and usually are cheaper. Also a good idea to get a letter from your insurance or some places won't let you decline coverage without proof. Also some countries require an international license, only about 25$ at AMA. Often the car rental companies don't check, but if you are stopped there an be big problems. We got one last year for Portugal. Loved the algarve in the far west.
David
No tour groups here!! We are backpackers! I like the idea of renting a car!!! Holly, you rock!!!
Holly
So excited for you!! I'd be happy to pass along some of the things we did. One of the nicest countries I've been to.
Holly
...further to my last post, I'm a big "off the beaten track" kinda person so we try to find less touristy things to see and do. But mainstream stuff too. A good mix is important to me.
David
That EXACTLY us! Good in you girl! Isn't travel the best!
Holly
Yes!! If I don't have at least one trip to look forward to (I actually have four booked right now) I feel lost...lolol
Diana
I agree with Portugal, just came back last week weather was amazing and we also rented a car in Lisbon and drove everywhere. Amazing food, amazing people and amazing country can't go wrong
Holly

Where to Go for a 10-Day Trip in November?
Planning a trip can be both exciting and challenging, especially when you have limited time. With only 10 days in November, you'll want to make the most of your vacation. Here are some ideas for where to go:
1. Japan
Japan is a fascinating destination with a perfect blend of traditional culture and modernity. You can explore the bustling city of Tokyo, visit historic temples in Kyoto, and relax in hot springs in Hakone. With direct flights available from Canada, you can easily make the most of your 10 days in Japan.

For a unique experience, consider visiting Iceland. In November, you can witness the stunning Northern Lights, soak in geothermal hot springs, and explore the otherworldly landscapes. With direct flights from Canada, Iceland is a great option for a 10-day trip.
3. Costa Rica
If you're looking for a tropical getaway, Costa Rica is a fantastic choice. With its lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, and abundant wildlife, you can enjoy a mix of adventure and relaxation. Direct flights from Canada make Costa Rica a convenient destination for a 10-day trip.
With your flexibility to fly out of any city in Canada and a maximum total flight time of 12 hours, these destinations offer great options for your 10-day trip in November. Safe travels!

Normally I never have a problem planning a trip. However, I only have 10 days to go somewhere, in Nov (11-20). I need some ideas as the where to go.
I do work for an airline, so it doesn't matter what city we fly out of in Canada! But we don't want to fly for more than 12 hours total!
Please share your ideas! Thank you in advance!
