Question:
Humans say...
Sharon
I presume u r driving and do you have a Parcs Pass?
Pam
I would have plenty of recommendations if you were going to Nl, but u are not so I won't tell you what you are missing out on!!!
Lol
Have a great trip!!
But I will encourage you to try and do 150 different things on your trip to commemorate Canada's 150th!!
Will make your trip that more interesting and fun!!!
Ps. If u do, I would love to hear about them!!
Nancy
Choose a theme that interests you - then find that wherever you are - ie national parks or historic sites - jazz clubs. - local brew pubs - modern art galleries etc.
Pam
If u go to Halifax, be sure to check out the music and food!!!
Darlene
You are really missing out if you don't go to Newfoundland ! Spectacular scenery and the nicest people ever !
Vivian
Totally agree...can't wait to go back to Newfoundland...it's unreal!
Randy
When going through Sk, get off the Trans Canada, it follows the flattest, boringest route and will leave a negative impression
Mel
I didn't find it was boring...
Randy
Your an exception, 99% of us in Saskatchewan think it is boring.
Mel
Yeah..after Ontario and all the mountain I was so happy to be on a flat route
...is it beautiful and ppl are really nice!
Randy
20 miles north from Man. to Regina there is the Qu'Appelle Valley, absolutely beautiful and most travellers don't even know it is there.
Sam
Try and make a stop somewhere in the Okanagan, especially if you love wine! Kelowna is your best bet! As well as Lake Louise and Banff!
Mason
The Enchanted Forest
Sharon
AB-Iceland Parkway. Check out a few easy Gorge hikes. Old Montreal and Quebec City are a must. It really depends on what your interests are...
Mel
No Lac Louise there is a better lake 10 min away...not crowed... It really depend on what you like... museum, nature, going out in bar... but do not miss Drumheller and the dinosaurs museum... for the rest really depend on you... knowing what you like would help
Cory
Kelowna!
Theresa
Stop in Winnipeg during Folklorama. A great 2 week event celebrating different cultures.
Sandra
If it were my choice i would travel through kamloops through Jasper to edmonton over the yellowhead there and take the southern routes home. Glacier national park is I southern AB. Saskatoon is a beautiful city, the yellow head through SK is much prettier. You can also stop at the Quill lakes (largest bird migration corridor)
Cathy
you HAVE to see all "world's largest..." in each province! Starting with the hockey stick in Duncan! The egg in Alberta, the coffee pot in Sask, the curling rock in Mb...etc...etc!
Sarah
Thanks, everyone! We will be starting in Victoria, then Vancouver, and taking the train to Kamloops, Jasper, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Montreal, Moncton and Halifax. We do have a parks pass although I'm not sure how much we will be using it as we will mostly be taking public transport.
We don't drink and aren't into the nightlife. I'm definitely a foodie so I will be checking out food everywhere!!
Pam we will for sure be doing 150 things on our trip! I am going to write a blog and I will post the link to your comment once it's started up if you're interested in reading about them
Thanks again everyone for the great ideas and now I'm starting to think we should visit NL too..
Pam
Yes and yes!!! 1st yes is that I'm interested in knowing what 150 things u did, and reading blog, so please connect me!!
2nd yes, is Yes do Nl!!! U will not be sorry!!
Are u one of the lucky ones who got a rail pass for $150?? If so take full
advantage and ferry over to Nl!!!
Sarah
