Help! My gf and I have Remembrance Day long weekend off (November 8-11) and it’s our anniversary and my bday at that time too but we have no plans.
We live in Victoria BC Canada and have enough air miles to go pretty much anywhere with Alaska air. We also can’t rent a car so we’re kinda stuck for transportation
Looking for suggestions on where to go! We are adventurous and like to explore and do unique/bucket list things.
I’ve never booked a trip this close to the dates before. Any help is appreciated.
Even if it’s something local in BC!

San Diego is a walkable city (they also have Uber and Lyft to check out areas like La Jolla, pacific beach and balboa park)

Kari And always nice weather!

This has been on my staycation list for a while. Take the bus to Qualicum and then hang out on the beaches up there.

Honolulu is walkable.

Palm Springs. Short cab to downtown from airport(10 min)and many nice smaller boutique places to stay. Loads of restaurants within walking distance. Weather should still be super.

If we went to Alaska what’s the best things to do there?!

skagway alaska is small but beautiful. Hiking. A geat train ride up a gold rush mountain. History, mountains, beauty.

The White Pass train is closed for the season, I believe. This is off season for cruise ships, so lots of places will be closed for the winter. Just something to keep in mind...
That said, White Horse has a cute town and vibe, though you would be relying on taxis.

Portland, San Francisco or San Diego. Alaska Air flys to all of them.

All walkable and Uber Savy cites too. My vote is SD- sunshine! Encenitas is my fav beach town close by

Agreed, love San Diego and San Francisco and definitely easy to get around

Portland and easy to get around

I recommend Palm Springs as well...nice weather, great restaurants, shopping and a quick flight
I’m currently down here from Vancouver

just got back from san Diego great place .transit it great easy .stayed at town and country very nice hotel

Lesley yeah I love San Diego! Been thee three times

Save your days off, money and points for a better time to travel!

Melissa it’s our anniversary. I have almost 200k miles saved up!

Michael there's always hiking/snowshoeing etc. And the scandinave spa

Yellow point lodge

Vegas! Walkable and so much to do and see!

Waikiki, Honolulu. Walkable and beautiful weather!

How many days do you have?

4!

New York is awesome any time of year! Easy to walk around and so much to do. Fabulous food, amazing entertainment and all walking friendly

Portland - hands down - one of the coolest, most relaxed cities in the world. Great coffee, (takes 20 minutes - which is part of the charm) great beer and great food.

Dennis so true!! Great city. Fly down with Alaska. Bellingham to Portland and then Uber around.

I just booked our son on a return trip to Phoenix AZ with my Alaskan Airline points for the first week in November. It's a beautiful city, beautiful weather with awesome restaurants, shopping, tourist sights. We went last year and realised we could have stayed in Phoenix alone for a week although we were touring the state in a car rental. Our son is very excited, he is hanging out with some friends there for a week.

San Francisco would be my pick.

Fly to Kona, Hawaii and catch the last weekend of the Kona Coffee Festival, go free snorkeling off White Sands Beach, all reachablefor a $2 trolley ride from one end (shopping at Ross)to the other(Sheraton Hotel for cocktails and watch the Manta Rays come in to feed at night from Rays By the Bay or better yet, spend the $100 to snorkel WITH the Mantas with Fairwinds Cruises)

Pm if you need more info....it’s our favourite place on the planet right now for adventure and relaxation

Nicki I second Hawaii as well. But need more than 4 days. When I visit Hawaii I need a minimum of 7 days (but we usually go for 10-14 days). But I’m a little “needy” when it comes to Hawaii and like to stay as long as possible.

Fly Kenmore Air from the Victoria Harbour Air terminal into Seattle’s Lake Union 1 hour! Book a fancy Priceline 4 or 5* mystery express deal hotel in downtown Seattle. Only take a backpack so you can walk from lake union to your hotel. Walk everywhere. Take the Savor Seattle pike place market food tour - book in advance. Have dinner at any one of the many great Seattle restaurants - check out the Pink Door or take a ferry across to Alki Beach and have dinner at Salty’s! Make reservations!! Do a Segway Tour! Have evening cocktails at Vitos on 9th and take a trip through the past! PM me for more Seattle ideas or more words around Priceline Express Deals.

We’ve done San Francisco for 4 days and it was perfect. Great city with tons to do. Very romantic

San Francisco would be a lovely one for 4 days - it's in the same time zone but still a great getaway.

Our anniversary is in November too and we’ve tried lots of places over the years. Some of the places suggested would be pretty cold, like SF. We love the Big Island but 4 days is pretty short. My pick would be SAN Diego or Portland.

Jackie we’ve already been to Hawaii together 3 times. I wanna go back to kauai but she doesn’t want to.
we still have lots to do there like canpbthe kalalau trail.

camp the*

We love Kauai!

Its 33 in Palm Springs today,you can fly there in 2.45 ,Go on Airbnb or splurge and stay at the Marriott,you can go to the Tram ,lay around the pool have some cocktails .Google stuff to do there.

If you're thinking about adventure, stay in Canada and go up North to see the Aurora! Yellowknife is perfect for 3 days, it's not super cold yet, but has awesome clear skies. I saw 2 great light shows, my boyfriend and I loved it! It's Aurora capital of the world! Lots of art, culture and good food too. Whitehorse is a good second option, and you could go dog mushing, Ice fishing, go to the local brewery, hiking. I've been to both places, PM me if you want more details. It was very affordable too.
