If you had 6 days in August, and a budget of around $3000 as a couple, where would you go?? TIA!

Sao Miguel, Azores

Puerto rico!

Puerto Vallarta! In August many of the inland Mexicans holiday and its so fun, more authentic!

Mackinac island. Michigan

New York

Including flights? With that budget and limited time, I’d go somewhere in California - perhaps San Diego.

Remember in some places it’s rainy season !

Newfoundland, every Canadian should travel all across our country at some point . The tough thing there is rental cars, I know there’s a shortage and they’re expensive so if you do go just book a rental car early .

California!

PEI or Emerald Lake Lodge

Galveston, TX

Jamie Not Texas!

Jamie loved it! Would go back for sure!

Holly us too! Just went in April and it was awesome!

Jamie us too! Went for Easter break.

If you want to travel in canada go to Vancouver Island and take the ferry north then travel back. Or go east and do maritines. With the strike with westjet, road trips might be the way to go.

The Maritimes.

PEI

Greece!

Trisha 6 days and 3K budget?Not gonna happen.

Jennifer you can do it for 3k, I have more than once, but not 6 days… I think the original post said more time than that

Maritimes

Hawaii!

NYC if you’ve never been,
or
San Diego … visit north of SD also along the coast.
Both are great 6 days vacations.

Vegas

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Mexico

If I only had 6 days I would not fly anywhere as you are going to lose 2 days in travel. I would take a nice drive down to Waterton Park, stay at the Kilmore Lodge, hike, relax, go to a spa and treat myself to all the things you don't get to do while at home.

Deborah absolutely a beautiful place!

Home Depot!!

Sedona, Arizona. Short flight to Phoenix, rent a car , about a 3hr drive. Absolutely breathtaking, a number of vortexes to climb. Check it out.

We just went to Galveston Island, Texas for super cheap! Would be even better in the summer when everything is in full swing! So much to do, no car rental needed!

Amsterdam!

Obviously lots of you haven’t travelled for awhile because $3000 for 2 ppl 6 days really wipes out Hawaii, New York, anywhere you have to fly on a US funds.

if you want to sweat your ass off and enjoy mexico… we just booked our honeymoon for june for under $5K!
we’re staying at an adults only luxury resort with a penthouse suite and plus seats on plane there/back!

Stay home and do super fun stuff around the city you wouldn’t normally do.

Nashville

Road trip the Oregon coast. With that budget, you could do it in style. And it's GORGEOUS.

Mexico. Check deals on flights I bought flights to PV or Cabo for 400 round trip pp. then if you stay at an all inclusive like RIU it’s 1600 for the room overall for 2 people If you book it separately you can pay for hotel when you arrive. This way you still come under budget.

Florcita how about exchange on her dollar ?

I'm including prices in Canadian. If you check the deals in flights from YYC deals, from Edmonton, Calgary or surrounding airports you can get great deals and then you book the hotels. I have a family of 6 and that's how I usually plan my trips to save the most. I just went to Mexico for 5000 CAD for a week in family day week. When you buy a package altogether is way more expensive.

Florcita I think this is what we're leaning towards the most, thank you so much for the information!

If I can be of any assistance feel free to PM me

Florcita thank you!

Yukon - Whitehorse, Kluane National Park, and Dawson City. So interesting. So beautiful. Such rich history. So many interesting people. You will love it I promise.

Vegas, Sunshine Coast, Montreal

Victoria. We were just there for 4 days. Total cost was $1610 including flights (seat sale), hotel (used points but had to pay tax), food, and tours/museum/Imax. No car rental, we used cabs since uber isn't there.

Lynn sounds wonderful and relaxing

Travel to the USA way better for your exchange.
To do with how much everything costs there food, lodgings and gas,
It’s amazing down the Oregon coast

Look up Hornby Island in Vancouver. It's named Little Hawaii of Canada. I haven't been but it's on my list. Can stay in van and then take a ferry over. It looks amazinggggg

Ashley yesss this place is gorgeous!!

Costa Rica

Paris - Europe if you get room in a hostel. International hostels are invariably near main tourist attractions. Not sure if there is a good plane fare in August. Europeans holiday in August, so some things closed and others at their best then.

Not sure what Varadero costs now but I really enjoyed it there and all inclusive

Oregon. Just about anywhere there is dreamy, from Portland to the coast, Crater Lake or the Willamette Valley (
)

Canmore and Kananaskis Country
On your way back to Calgary, stop by Canmore, a charming mountain town. Take a leisurely walk along the downtown area, enjoy the local shops, cafes, and restaurants. If you have time, explore Kananaskis Country, a nearby provincial park offering fantastic hiking trails and scenic drives.
